[:es]TRIUMPH THRUXTON Scramber & Cafe Racer de Tamarit[:en]CUSTOM TRIUMPH THRUXTON Scrambler by TAMARIT[:]
[:es]Con sede en la ciudad de Alicante, Tamarit lleva varios años trabajando. Su punto fuerte es la venta de partes y kits de alta calidad. Sus kits se están haciendo muy famosos y están subiendo a la fama con mucha rapidez.
Esta Triumph Scrambler creada por Tamarit es una de las modificaciones mas destacadas de una scrambler. Esta modificación de una moto de uso exclusivo en carretera a una moto que puede ser usada en caminos me parece bastante original. Una moto de carretera tan exclusiva ahora preparada para el barro, la grava y la arena de la playa.
Tamarit escogió un carburador de un modelo Thruxton del 2005. Al no ser un encargo de un cliente, se vieron libres de hacer lo que les pareciera.
Matias Canales explica que ellos quisieron hacer algo especial y radical sin ninguna limitación.
Tamarit diseña sus piezas para que cualquiera pueda colocarlas con un mínimo esfuerzo. En la parte frontal, el carenado de la ‘Cúpula’ se coloca alrededor del faro original, que está montado ahora en soportes mejorados y cubierta por una rejilla de protección.
Como guardabarros delantero usan su ‘Little Bastard’ de fibra de vidrio guardabarros delantero, y añaden el nuevo alerón ‘Quilla’ en la parte inferior del chasis.
El asiento es uno de los artículos más populares en el catálogo de Tamarit. Se ajusta directamente en los puntos de montaje de una Bonneville, Scrambler o una Thruxton, sin ningún tipo de modificación en el chasis.
Ahora que «Mr Kevin» está terminada, esta lista para la venta, así como todas sus piezas que encontrarás en el sitio de Tamarit.

[:en]Based in the port city of Alicante, Tamarit have been operating for a few years now. Their forté is high-quality, plug-n-play parts—but they’re also rising to prominence with a volley of well-judged builds.
This Triumph Scrambler by Tamarit Spanish Motorcycles is one of the more off-road capable scramblers we’ve featured in recent memory – a modern scrambler is almost exclusively a road going motorcycle modified for off-road use, so it’s understandable that there would be varying degrees of both on and off-road ability within the genre. Some are very lightly modified and would be terrifying to ride on anything other than shiny new asphalt and some are a little more committed to the idea of mud, gravel and beach sand. This bike falls firmly into that latter category.
This genre-bending Thruxton caught our eye. Best described as a café-racer with scrambler sensibilities, it’s a testbed for a couple of new products: the ‘Quilla’ belly spoiler and ‘Cupula’ nose fairing.
To showcase them, Tamarit picked out a carbureted 2005-model Thruxton. And without a client or brief, they were free to do whatever they saw fit.
“The project was to be a café-racer,” says shop boss Matias Canales, “but we also wanted to do something special and radical. We had no limitations.”
Tamarit design their parts to bolt on with minimal fuss. Up front, the ‘Cupula’ fairing is wrapped around the original headlight, which is now mounted on upgraded brackets and covered by a protective grill.
Moving down, the guys fitted their ‘Little Bastard’ fiberglass front fender, and attached the new ‘Quilla’ spoiler to the bottom of the frame.
The seat is one of the most popular items in the Tamarit catalog. It fits directly onto the mounting points of a Bonneville, Scrambler or Thruxton, without any frame mods needed. Tamarit’s own tail-tidy and taillight combo have replaced the rear fender.
To give the bike a slight scrambler vibe, there’s a high-riding, stainless steel ‘Papillon’ exhaust system and dual-sport tires: a Mitas E-07 at the rear and a Heidenau K60 up front (since the Mitas E-07 isn’t available in 18-inch).
The rear shocks have been replaced by Hagon units, and the front forks treated to a set of boots. There’s also a smaller speedo, a set of Biltwell grips and smaller turn signals. The side covers, chain guard and aluminum foot pegs are all Tamarit parts. Paint is a striking satin grey metallic base, offset with gloss white and black touches.
All that was left to do was pick a name and number for the upgraded Thruxton.
“We all had an idol in our teens, so what better way to baptize the bike than with mine: Mr Kevin Schwantz. I would never say that he was the greatest—there will always be Agostini, Rossi or in the future Márquez—but I will say that he was the most spectacular of all.”
Now that ‘Mr Kevin’ is complete, it’s for sale. And so are all the parts you’ll find on it. If you have a Triumph twin of your own, we suggest you bookmark the Tamarit site.

No cabe duda que realizaron un gran trabajo, me gusto mucho el acabado de la parte frontal y el uso de pintura en blanco, gris y negro. Una gran moto que ahora se podra disfrutar en cualquier tipo de camino.
