What Is It?

The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is an A2 licence friendly retro off-road style bike and is powered by a Euro 4 compliant air-cooled 803 cc Desmodromic V-Twin engine, producing 72.4 bhp at 8,250 rpm and maximum torque at 5,750 rpm.

Features include:

• Steel tubular frame with Aluminium swingarm
• 330 mm disc up front with Brembo M4.32B four piston caliper
• 245 mm disc at the rear with Brembo single piston caliper
• Bosch 9.1MP cornering ABS system with off mode

Compared to the original 2017 model the frame is now painted red, the indicators are now clear LED jobs, the headlight now sports a black X with a new LED daytime running light surround, the wheels now have black rims, the seat is a new design, the ABS system upgraded to handle cornering, the clutch control is a lighter hydraulic setup, the controls have been tweaked and the LCD dash now has both gear position and fuel level indicators however overall weight is up 2 kg.

Under the seat there is a small compartment with a handy USB charging point while the Steel tank still features the interchangeable Aluminium side panels (with a slightly beefier but compatible design for 2019).

The wire-spoked 19" front wheel takes a Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR 120/70 tyre and the rear 17" a 170/60.

Options include the low 840 mm seat and Bluetooth multimedia module for music and text alerts but aftermarket customisation potential is massive.
