2023-Ducati-Scrambler

Ducati has revealed the 2023 Scrambler lineup, scheduled to arrive at European dealerships in March 2023. The 2023 Scrambler will be available in three flavors: Icon, Full Throttle and Nightshift, priced at £9,995, £10,995 and £10,995, respectively, in the UK. All prices include 20% VAT.

While the Ducati Scrambler Icon offers a choice of 3 colors (’62 Yellow, Thrilling Black and Ducati Red), the Scrambler Full Throttle comes only in this red & black dual-tone theme (Rosso GP19/Dark Stealth).

As for the Nightshift, well, it comes in this Nebula Blue paint, a straight handlebar, café racer mirrors, and black spoked wheels for additional retro drama. But regardless of the flavor you choose, key highlights include a full LED headlight with an X-shaped guard; LED turn signals; a 4.3-inch color TFT instrument display; new swingarm with the monoshock in the centre as opposed to the left side in the outgoing model; new lightweight chassis, and an updated engine that is 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) lighter, contributing to an overall weight reduction of 4 kg (8.8 lbs) compared with the outgoing model.

Ducati Traction Control, Cornering ABS, Road and Wet riding modes, and Quick Shift up/down, are some of the other standard equipment. The 803 cc L-Twin engine pumps out 53.6 kW (73 metric hp) at 8,250 rpm and 65.2 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

Suspension duties are handled by a 41 mm Kayaba upside-down fork at the front and a Kayaba monoshock at the rear with pre-load adjustability. Braking duties are handled by a 330 mm disc at the front and a 245 mm disc at the rear.
