After teasing it seemingly forever, Ducati today revealed images and info on its new 2015 Scrambler model, describing it as “a contemporary bike that expresses the pure essence of motorcycling.”
Powered by an oil- and air-cooled, 803cc, L-twin motor, the compact Scrambler will come in Icon (shown above), Urban Enduro, Full Throttle and Classic versions. The icon version will be available in red and yellow; the Urban Enduro (shown below) in “Wild Green.”
Ducati used the Intermot show in Gologne, Germany to unveil the Scrambler. The company reported, “Tried and tested materials such as the aluminum of the rear swingarm and engine covers and the steel of the teardrop tank and frame are combined with new-generation components such as a front and rear LED lighting and LD instruments. Wide handlebars and a long seat provide a comfortable, relaxing riding position and, together with the low weight, low center of gravity and slightly knobby tires, ensure pure riding fun whatever the situation.”
Ducati recalled its past in unwrapping the Scrambler:
“Presenting the new Ducati Scrambler brand means for us opening the doors to an entirely new, fascinating, and absolutely contemporary world”, said Cristiano Silei, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Ducati Motor Holding, during the unveiling of the new bikes.
“We have reinterpreted an iconic motorcycle, part of our history for more than 50 years, in a fully modern way, designing and building the Ducati Scrambler as if we’d never stopped making it. The four bikes of the Ducati Scrambler family represent starting points on a path to personalisation that will make every single Ducati Scrambler a unique, free-spirited bike as individual as the person riding it.”
