Creating custom motorcycles is a challenge in itself, let alone designing a machine built to master steep inclines. With that said, Doug Siddens and Nick Jaquez have developed an incredible custom hill-climb bike to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Indian Motorcycle commissioned the pair to create the bike for the rally which dates back to 1938. The new bike was designed around the frame of a new Indian Scout but adds in plenty of the brand’s history with accents like a 1920 solo saddle seat.
A collaboration of nine companies came together to work on the bike called the Black Hills Beast, which sports large off-road tires, an upgraded suspension, and a swing arm that’s 10 inches longer than the standard.
The Beast seems to live up to its name with an impressive exterior and an intricate design built to last.
