The Ducati Scrambler lineup doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. While many people know the Italian motorcycle manufacturer for their sport bikes, it can do so much more. It also makes adventure motorcycles that are sophisticated and packed with technology. Then there are the scramblers. While the current lineup may seem like a new edition, scramblers have been a part of the Ducati lineup for decades. These bikes have the classic long, low design but with Ducati’s added elegance and innovation. Check out the ten Ducati Scramblers that you can buy today.
10 The Sporty 1100 Sport PRO
Riders who want performance and an adrenaline rush should look at the 1100 Sport PRO. Don’t let the matte black color scheme fool you. This bike comes outfitted with performance-minded components. It sports an Öhlins suspension, lowered handlebars, and a Ride by Wire throttle. Powering the 1100 Sport Pro is an air-and oil-cooled, 1079 cc, two-valve L-twin engine. To help you tame this bike is the Ducati Traction Control (DTC). There are three ride modes to choose from and for stopping power, you have Brembo brakes as well as cornering ABS for maximum control.
9 The Gritty Urban Motard
The Ducati Urban Motard joined the scrambler lineup in 2022. It comes fresh and full of attitude with a tank featuring bold graphics. One look at the tank, and you can see how Ducati embraced a grittier style for this bike. The tank features Star White Silk, and Ducati GP ’19 Red split design with a black graffiti inspire graphic overlay. Then there are the spoked 17 inch wheels that give the bike great presence. The wheels have Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires that are perfect for a dynamic ride experience.
8 The Blacked Out Icon Dark
The entire bike has a blacked-out look, but the tank features aluminum side panels. You can change them out and customize the bike's look if you prefer something else. The engine features black cylinder heads and brushed aluminum fins. The bike also comes with a new seat design that is flatter and more comfortable than previous versions. Underneath is an improved suspension for a smoother, more comfortable ride. Finally, the Icon Dark comes ready for the Ducati Multimedia System.
7 The Bright And Fun Icon
The Ducati Icon Scrambler shows a new side of the Italian motorcycle manufacturer. The bright yellow color and sporty performance give it a fun feel. Ducati described the bike as joyful, which is easy to see by just looking at the bike. Interchangeable aluminum panels accent the 62 yellow Ducati color on the tank. The bike also has an updated muffler cover that mirrors the brushed aluminum of the tank panels. All of this bright color is contrasted by the black ten-spoke wheels. This gives the bike a clean look that doesn’t compete with the bright styling of the bike.
6 Ready For The Nightshift
When the sun sets and the world goes to sleep, the Nightshift fires up its engine and is ready to roll. Instead of the overdone blacked-out color scheme, the Nightshift features an Aviator Grey motif. It’s dark but with a sophisticated softness. Then there are small heritage-inspired touches, such as the flat track-inspired side plate with the Ducati logo which complete the package.
5 The Race Ready Full Throttle
The Ducati Full Throttle Scrambler is one of three new models for the 2023 year. It features a black and red color scheme with bold race-inspired graphics throughout the bike. The tank has a two-tone design with bold Ducati graphics across it. Then there is the black side plate with an oversized red number 62 on the side. Another unique feature is the multi-spoke black wheels with red accents. The seat on the Full Throttle is smooth and flat, which has improved passenger comfort.
4 The Off-Road Desert Sled
If you want to get out into the countryside, then the Desert Sled is ready to go with you and dominate the dirt. It comes with enduro tires that are perfect for taking the bike from the pavement to the dirt. The LED headlight has a glass lens with a protective cage over it. There are also mud guards, an extended rear fender, and a high plate holder. It comes with a customized paint scheme of Sparkling Blue and White with red accents which gives the bike a sporty, retro look. Finally, the seat on the Desert Sled has contour to provide the rider with greater stability while riding on unstable ground.
3 The Vintage 1100 Tribute PRO
The Ducati Tribute Pro pays homage to the original Ducati scrambler of the 60s and 70s. It represents a new chapter in the long history that is Ducati Motorcycles. You will see several details that look similar to the original scrambler. There is a long and narrow fuel tank, the seat is upholstered in soft brown leather with visible stitching and the Ducati logo on the back. The bike has a retro orange color scheme. However, bringing the bike into the 21st century are the artistic black graphics on the tank, large black spoked wheels, and a Ride by Wire throttle.
2 The Sophisticated 1100 Dark PRO
The Ducati Pro is the embodiment of sleek sophistication. It comes in a Dark Stealth color scheme that combines black, grey, and aluminum. Unlike the other scramblers on this list, it features a right-side dual exhaust and a low-mount side plate. This takes it out of the dirt track realm and puts it squarely in the urban riding world. Maneuvering the bike is a dream with the steady tubular steel trellis frame and extra-wide handlebars. Finally, elevating the 70s race style is an elegant “X” black placed over the headlight.
1 The Original Ducati Scrambler
So far, the Ducati Scramblers on this list are all current models that you can buy fresh off the production floor. However, these are not the first scramblers that Ducati has built. The original Ducati scrambler was on the road decades before these bikes. From 1962 to 1976, Ducati made a scrambler. This OG motorcycle was meant for the American market. It was a slender bike that Ducati hoped would strengthen the brand’s presence in the US. These were street-legal adaptations of the company’s dirt track competition bikes.
