You can toggle through the various digital functions via a button on the left switch block. I saw that light at about 210km and there was still three litres left in the 13.5-litre tank for a good 60km stretch to the next fuel stop.
The single digital instrument pod has plenty of information including an easy to read digital speedo, an odometer, two trip meters, a clock, rev counter around the rim, ambient temperature display and, although it has no fuel gauge, it starts counting kilometres lapsed since the warning light comes on. The ABS works well on wet roads and even pulls up surprisingly well on gravel. With only 189kg of weight, the single disc has more than enough stopping power. It comes with a single front disc brake, simple single instrument pod, basic suspension and minimal controls.īut don’t think all that translates to a basic bike. However, it also feels so controllable you won’t be doing either by accident. In fact, it would make a great stunt bike as wheelies and stoppies are easy. Together with a lively 50mm throttle body, 55 kilowatts of power, 68Nm of torque and 189kg fully fuelled, it’s a very responsive and manoeuvrable bike. That all combines to make it a very rideable bike in everyday conditions. It also feels smoother and more refined than in the Monster. It’s powered by the Monster 800 air-cooled desmodromic engine but with new cam timing that gives it more bottom-end torque and less high-end power.
Now they have returned with the current nostalgia craze for retro-style bikes.Īs a styling exercise, the Ducati Scrambler is a winner with its perfect combination of modern and retro features. The only differences are minor cosmetic changes to the seat, fenders and either wire or alloy wheels.ĭucati made 450cc scramblers in the early 1970s mainly for the American market, but they dropped them in 1974.
DUCATI SCRAMBLER FULL
There are four models in the Scrambler range – Icon, Full Throttle, Classic and Urban Enduro – with prices ranging from $12,990 to $14,990. It’s more of a lightweight bike that is at home in commuter traffic, mountain roads, even on the highway, but has limited scope on dirt roads. If it’s old-school fun you want, the Ducati Scrambler delivers.īut just don’t think of it in the old-school terms of a scrambler.
