Overview

Introducing the 2017 Ducati Scrambler Sixty2, a captivating blend of modern engineering and classic aesthetics that pays homage to Ducati’s rich heritage. Positioned as an entry-level model within the Scrambler lineup, the Sixty2 is designed for riders who crave the thrill of the open road without compromising on style. With its distinctive orange hue, robust frame, and retro-inspired design, this motorcycle invites both seasoned enthusiasts and new riders to experience the freedom of two wheels. The Sixty2 is not just a bike; it's a lifestyle choice, embracing the spirit of adventure and exploration. At the heart of the Scrambler Sixty2 lies a spirited 399cc V-twin, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 40 horsepower at 8,750 RPM. This powerplant is designed to provide a lively and responsive riding experience, generating a torque of 34.6 Nm at just 3,500 RPM, which translates to a thrilling acceleration that is perfect for urban commuting or weekend escapades. The electronic fuel injection system ensures smooth throttle response, while the six-speed gearbox allows for seamless gear transitions, enabling riders to harness the engine's full potential. The air-cooled design enhances reliability, making the Sixty2 an ideal companion for those who seek both performance and practicality. The Scrambler Sixty2 is equipped with a tubular steel trellis frame, a testament to Ducati's commitment to lightweight construction and agility. The traditional 41 mm Showa front fork and Kayaba rear shock provide a balanced 150 mm of travel on both ends, ensuring a comfortable ride whether navigating city streets or cruising along winding roads. Safety is paramount, and the inclusion of ABS on both front and rear brakes, paired with floating discs and responsive calipers, instills confidence in every ride. Additionally, the bike’s compact dimensions, with a seat height of just 790 mm, make it accessible for riders of all sizes, further enhancing its appeal. **

Pros

  • Stylish Design: The retro-inspired aesthetics and vibrant color options make the Sixty2 a head-turner on the streets.
  • User-Friendly Performance: With a manageable 40 HP and low seat height, it's perfect for new riders and those looking for an agile city bike.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 167 kg (368.2 lbs), the Sixty2 offers nimble handling and easy maneuverability.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Cruising: While great for city rides, the 399cc engine may feel underpowered for long-distance highway journeys.
  • Minimal Storage Options: The classic design prioritizes aesthetics over practicality, offering limited storage for everyday essentials.
  • Basic Instrumentation: The instrumentation is functional but lacks the advanced features found in some of its competitors, which may disappoint tech-savvy riders.
