Back in 2009 former freestyle and motocross pro rider, Alvaro Dal Farra suffered a terrifying crash. He was filming with FMX team DaBoot, crashing and suffering a broken arm, ribs, and a punctured lung. While it didn’t stop his desire to ride, it certainly gave him some time to think about the future of dirt bike design. Once he recovered, he was back on his bike and back to his old ways.
He decided to come up with something of his own, inspired by the first bike he can remember, a Malaguti Grizzly. Alvaro and Skorpion Engineering created the 3D Core based on a 2019 Kawasaki KX 450. The motorcycle features 3D-printed bodywork that uses an open crosshatch pattern to expose components underneath painted in a red-to-blue fade. This aims to mimic the look of blood flowing through veins and arteries, creating quite an eye-catching approach in the process. Other additions include an Officine Zard exhaust and SunStar transmission with Dunlop knobby tires to keep things grounded.
This machine is exceptional, to say the least. Take a closer look at the 2019 Kawasaki KX 450 3D Core Dirt Bike in the image and head over to find out more from Alvaro Dal Farra immediately.
