While the 'next-gen' Scrambler looks outwardly similar to its predecessor, the Icon's, erm, iconic retro styling is brought subtly up to date, while the rear shock is now centrally positioned, rather than side-mounted, and the seat is flatter and supposedly comfortable for longer for both rider and pillion.Īll of which adds up to an even more involving ride. Meanwhile, a revised frame, new swing arm and wheels, along with a lighter, more refined clutch, reduce the bike's weight by a claimed 4kg. The characterful and free-revving 72.2bhp V-twin has been made Euro5 compliant too, despite retaining its authentically classic air-cooling.
A ride-by-wire throttle also brings two modes – Road and Sport – which are accessed by a crisp new 4.3-inch TFT dash. There are improved rider aids, featuring Bosch cornering ABS and lean-sensitive traction control. The Scrambler has been tweaked and updated, most noticeably in 2019, but now for 2023 some 80% of the bike is new, including an electronics package to help usher it into the modern era. Multiple Scrambler variants (and a kazillion accessories) followed the Icon along with sales figures that at times topped any of Ducati’s more potent machines. Agile, perky and brilliantly user friendly, the 803cc air-cooled V-twin was an undeniably fresh take for Ducati - establishing a brand within a brand, with its semi-enduro look aimed squarely at the trendy urban market.īut whether you bought into the hipster image or not, the original Icon set the Scrambler ball rolling because it was a fun, easy-going and charismatic bike to ride and to own.
