Overview

Introducing the 2018 Ducati Scrambler Icon, a delightful blend of classic design and modern engineering that captures the spirit of freedom and adventure. Positioned as an entry-level motorcycle in the Ducati lineup, the Scrambler Icon perfectly caters to both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. Its retro-inspired aesthetics, featuring a minimalist yet striking profile, make it a standout in the crowded market of scrambler-style bikes. With options in vibrant yellow, bold red, and sophisticated grey, the Scrambler Icon invites riders to express their individuality while enjoying the open road. At the heart of the Scrambler Icon lies an 803cc V2 engine that produces a robust 73 horsepower at 8,250 RPM, delivering a thrilling ride experience. The torque output of 67 Nm at 5,750 RPM ensures a lively response, making both city commuting and winding country roads a joy to navigate. The bike's air-cooled, four-stroke engine is coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a wet multiplate clutch, promoting smooth gear transitions and overall riding comfort. With a fuel consumption rating of just 5.0 liters per 100 km, the Scrambler Icon not only offers exhilarating performance but also impressive fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for everyday riding. Ducati has outfitted the Scrambler Icon with key features that enhance its rideability and style. The tubular steel trellis frame provides exceptional rigidity and stability, while the Kayaba suspension system—featuring adjustable front and rear travel—ensures a comfortable ride on various terrains. The bike is also equipped with ABS for both the front and rear brakes, enhancing safety without compromising the exhilarating feel of riding. The 150 mm of travel on both ends of the suspension allows for confident handling, whether you're tackling urban streets or venturing off the beaten path. **
