Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Concept

.  

This is the Ducati  Scrambler Desert Sled concept from the Ducati Design Center shown at the 2017 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, it is the brainchild of Alex Earle – of Earle Motors fame.

It has a beautifully machined double-sided swingarm; a large fuel tank up front, with an auxiliary tank in the rear; dual rear shocks and long-travel forks at the front; and a custom Akrapovic exhaust that tucks under the rear fender.

The front fender design is reminiscent of the Ducati Hypermotard faux-intake, The design includes an exhaust system that could pass Euro4 muster, with a collection canister hidden below the swingarm, before it moves back up to the undertail pipes. At the heart of the bike is Ducati’s air-cooled v-twin engine.
