Bandit 9, the Beijing-based custom motorcycle workshop led by Daryl Villanueva, has unveiled its latest creation: the Bandit9 Hephaestus. Named after the Greek god of blacksmiths, sculptors, and artisans, this custom motorcycle is built entirely from stainless steel with no paint—just raw, beautifully forged materials.
“Our goal here at Bandit9 is to deliver a really unique product that’s drastically different from the last. we’ve got a very experimental process that forces us to explore a really daring design territory. we don’t want to be like the other garages out there. we don’t like the rules. it’s the only way we can get our riders to own something that speaks to their individuality – something that sets them apart.”
This sleek, simple beauty sells for RMB 85,000 (Approx. $13,655 USD ).
