Overview

Introducing the 2018 Ducati Scrambler Street Classic, a motorcycle that elegantly marries modern performance with vintage aesthetic. Positioned in the classic segment, the Scrambler Street Classic embodies Ducati's rich heritage while appealing to a new generation of riders who crave both style and substance. With its iconic design, featuring a retro-style round headlamp and a minimalist body that harks back to the golden age of motorcycling, this bike is more than just a ride—it's a statement. The Scrambler is designed for those who want to navigate urban landscapes with a touch of rebellious flair, making it a perfect choice for both cruising the streets and weekend adventures. At the heart of the Scrambler Street Classic is a robust 803cc L-twin engine, delivering an exhilarating 73 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and a torque of 68 Nm at 5,750 RPM. This powerplant ensures spirited performance whether you're accelerating through city streets or enjoying the open road. The engine is complemented by a smooth 6-speed gearbox that allows for effortless gear changes, while the air-cooling system keeps the performance consistent regardless of the weather. Riders will appreciate the bike's impressive fuel efficiency, with a consumption rate of just 5 liters per 100 km, allowing more time between fill-ups and more time on the road. The Scrambler Street Classic is outfitted with a range of features that enhance both comfort and control. The tubular steel trellis frame is not only lightweight but also provides excellent rigidity, contributing to the bike's agile handling. The suspension system, featuring a 41 mm upside-down Kayaba fork at the front and a fully adjustable Kayaba rear shock, ensures a plush ride that can tackle various terrains with ease. Safety is paramount, with ABS-equipped brakes providing confidence in stopping power, and the understated yet stylish color options, including a sophisticated grey, make this bike a head-turner. Additionally, the electric starter and a comfortable seat height of 770 mm make it accessible for riders of all sizes. **

Pros

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Classic design elements combined with modern finishes make it visually striking and appealing to a wide audience.
  • Engine Performance: The 803cc V-twin engine delivers a thrilling ride with ample power and torque, perfect for both city commuting and spirited weekend rides.
  • Comfort and Control: Well-balanced chassis and adjustable suspension provide a comfortable ride that adapts to various riding conditions.

Cons

  • Limited Storage: The minimalist design means limited space for storage options, which may be a drawback for longer rides.
  • Weight: At 186 kg (410 lbs) with fluids, it may feel cumbersome to some riders, especially in tight maneuvers.
  • Seat Height: While the seat height is manageable, it might be a stretch for shorter riders, potentially affecting confidence during stops.
