The above video shows Chief Road Tester Michael Neeves on the launch of the Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer at its 2017 launch in Bologna, Italy. The Sport also gets a dedicated ‘Sport’ seat, lower tapered handlebars, fully-adjustable Ohlins 48mm forks and shock, adjustable for preload and rebound damping. The Special enjoys a host of neat aesthetic tweaks, such as spoked wheels and a chrome exhaust. Much like the original 800s, the 1100 models all share the same base and 1079cc 4v V-twin engine and gain an extra disc at the front, for additional stopping power and a raft of electronic aids. With other manufacturers investing more time and development in large capacity retro machines, such as the BMW R NineT range, Ducati introduced a larger 1100 Scrambler early in 2018.Īvailable in three variants the standard 1100, the 1100 Special and the 1100 Sport. Hot on the heels of the Cafe was the Scrambler 800 Mach 2.0, which rather cleverly took the standard Icon Scrambler and applied the legendary Roland Sands name, a gorgeous special paint scheme and dropped bars, as well as over £1200 to the asking price! More grunt Easy to get on with and beautiful to look at, it stands out in the Scrambler range as the most road-biased example (and, if we're being honest, not really a scrambler.) Capable off-road and sporting looks reminiscent of the legendary Yamaha XT500, it ticked all the boxes the older Enduro failed to achieve -including actual sales!Īnother new arrival for 2017 was the Scrambler 800 Café Racer, which marked Ducati’s first return to the café racer scene since the Sport Classic range. Replacing the largely unpopular Urban Enduro, came the 800 Desert Sled. In 2017, Ducati decided to have a shift around with their 800cc models, ditching certain designs in the process, in exchange for some new metal. With the 800 proving to be an instant hit, Ducati then invaded the A2 licence category in 2016, with 400cc Scrambler Sixty2, in an attempt to get youngsters hooked on premium Italian loveliness from an earlier age.
