Ducati has equipped the Scrambler Icon with an array of thoughtful features and technology that enhance both performance and safety. The tubular steel trellis frame not only adds to its iconic aesthetic but also provides a sturdy foundation for the bike's suspension setup, featuring an upside-down Kayaba telescopic fork at the front and a pre-load adjustable rear shock, both offering 150 mm of travel for a comfortable ride. With Bosch Cornering ABS ensuring optimal braking performance, riders can feel secure while navigating various terrains.
