The Scrambler Full Throttle version is inspired by the flat track world and makes clear references to the bikes that race around dirt ovals. It is equipped with a Termignoni racing exhaust homologated for road use, a seat designed for racing and black side panels with dedicated graphics. The low tapered handlebar and the short front mudguard add to the distinctive features of the Scrambler Full Throttle, destined for those who want a bike perfect for every-day use but without compromising on racing style. In Deep Black.
Ducati Scrambler is not just a new motorcycle but rather a new brand, a new approach to the motorcycling world that offers not only performance and technology but also freedom of expression, fun and sharing of positive emotion. Ducati Scrambler is a new brand, offering a whole new world made up of bikes, accessories and apparel that provide the last word in self-expression. Anti-conformist, accessible and essential, the Ducati Scrambler is a perfect mix of tradition and modernity, a step towards the pure essence of motorcycling: two wheels, wide handlebars, a straightforward engine and endless fun. The Scrambler world - the latest addition to the Ducati universe – is one of authentic creativity and free expression; the lead-up to its official arrival has generated an unprecedented buzz, as has a captivating launch campaign of outstanding originality.
This is more than just a new bike: it’s a whole new world, one that expresses itself via a range of versions that provide a starting point for satisfying the different needs and wants of individual motorcyclists. “Post-heritage” design gives a contemporary take on the iconic bike built by Ducati back in the 70s. This Ducati Scrambler, though, is not a retro bike: it is, rather, intended to be just how the legendary motorcycle would be today if Ducati had never stopped building it.
In 2016 the Ducati Scrambler family is set to grow. The Icon, Urban Enduro, Full Throttle and Classic versions will soon be joined by the Flat Track Pro, inspired by the world of oval track racing, and the new Sixty2 which opens the way for a new two-wheel segment that meets the requirements of those seeking a smaller-engined bike that is easy to handle and has low running costs but not wanting to miss out on the unique Scrambler spirit.
Moreover, thanks to a vast range of apparel and bike accessories, called “ingredients”, the Ducati Scrambler offers a virtually unlimited range of exclusive personalisation and lifestyle options.
Named after the English word “to scramble” (mixing up, blending), the Ducati Scrambler is a form of expression of the rider's identity and lifestyle. The four motorcycle versions (Icon, Full Throttle, Classic and Urban Enduro) are just a starting point to create an absolutely unique, personalised model. Thanks to a wide range of ingredients, each Ducati Scrambler can be customised to suit any owner tastes.
A vast array of Ducati Performance ‘ingredients’ can be used to personalise the Ducati Scrambler. For example, chrome, matt black, or even carbon fibre tank side panels are available. Then there are a variety of solutions regarding the front mudguard, high plate holder, tank bag, canvas and leather panniers, high and low Termignoni slip-on exhaust, headlamp rim and grille, instrument panel rim, vintage grips, rear-view mirrors plus spoked wheels, four different seat versions and the low-slung tapered handlebars.
When the Ducati Design Center started working on the Ducati Scrambler the goal immediately became a very clear one: to revive a legend while, simultaneously, building a truly modern bike. A new bike inspired by the iconic 70s model but with all the technical specifications of a present-day one. That's why, for example, the bike features an upside down stanchion fork, alloy rims, a rear monoshock, and front radial-mount calipers.
Everything on the Ducati Scrambler has been designed to be as "Ducati" as possible while remaining faithful to the style of its inspiring predecessor. Firstly, there's the tank, sculptural and lovingly shaped yet loyal to the original teardrop design of the 70s model, including the 'upward sloping' look. Additional character is provided by the tank side covers: made of brushed aluminium, they're interchangeable to allow plenty of scope for personalisation and feature version-specific logos.
Seat and tank have been formed carefully to give the Ducati
Scrambler eye-pleasing proportions. A compact bike, the Ducati
Scrambler instils confidence from the moment you set eyes on it.
It's been sized to make it accessible to all motorcyclists while its
long seat maximises comfort and can accommodate a passenger
comfortably, because the Ducati Scrambler is all about sharing too.
A great deal of thought has gone into every detail on the Ducati
Scrambler, including the ultra-modern rear swingarm and the exhaust
pipe routing, a layout that echoes the look seen on the latest
Ducati nakeds. The short silencer and the rear mudguard tip have
been designed to make the bike more compact, as have the passenger
grab handles, hidden by the openings on the upper part of the seat.
Redesigned for the present day, the round headlamp is a key part of
the Ducati Scrambler look. Ultra-modern LED light guide technology
(used for the side lights) underlines the outstanding level of
technical expertise. The filler cap, which sports the inscription
"born free - 1962", reflects the closure system in vogue in the 70s;
similarly, the key, once inserted in the switchgear on the headlamp
unit, recalls the design of the original light switch. Under-seat
moulding provides another 70s design throwback.
Components
Lighting
Together with the fuel tank, the front headlamp is one of the most
characteristic features of the Ducati Scrambler. Round, classically
designed yet contemporary - that is, post-heritage - it has a glass
front with a modern, LED-powered light guide around the rim (this
acts as a side light). When on, it recalls the popular 70s stratagem
of applying protective adhesive tape to off-road bike headlights.
The high-beam function is performed by a single bulb hidden behind a
Ducati-logoed screen. Moreover, the contrast between the cold white
side light and warm yellow headlamp gives the Ducati Scrambler yet
another personality boost.
At the rear, instead, lies a full-LED unit. This gives off a suffused light and features a technology unprecedented on motorcycles; this 'soft' effect is, in fact, achieved by combining an opaque light-diffusing lens with a 12-LED electrical card (18 LEDs when the brake is applied).
The bulb-powered indicators - positioned to the sides of the headlamp and on the rear mudguard - match the Scrambler style to perfection. Ducati Scrambler riders are also provided with a hazard light function, activated simply by holding down the left indicator button for three seconds.
Instrumentation
The Ducati Scrambler instrument panel consists of a single, round
unit positioned above and slightly to the right of the headlamp.
Fully digital, it has an engine rpm scale resonant of those seen on
'70s motorcycle speedometers (i.e. in the lower part of the
instrument body). As engine revs increase the digits light up
clockwise (right to left). Ducati Scrambler instrumentation also
features two trip odometers and one total-mileage odometer, a trip
fuel indicator, an air temperature display, maintenance reminders, a
clock, and fuel reserve and ABS warning lights. Riders can also
count on an engine oil pressure warning light, high beam indicator,
neutral indicator, turn signal indicators, immobilizer and over-rev
warning light.
Controls
Post-heritage styling is also evident on Ducati Scrambler controls.
The wide handlebars house a classic wire-connected twist-grip
throttle together with an axial-pump front brake lever with 4
different position settings. Minimalist Ducati Scrambler design
continues with the cable-actuating clutch lever. The switchgear is
characterised by the now-standard yet exclusive "trigger catch" that
slides down to cover the starter button when the kill switch is
activated. It's the same one used on all Ducati bikes, its high tech
design underscoring the post-heritage style of the Ducati Scrambler.
The black painted die cast aluminium footrest plates support the gear change lever and the off-road type rear brake lever.
Engine
An oil cooled L-twin two-valve Euro 4 803 cc engine powers the
Ducati Scrambler. Derived from the Monster 796 engine, it has an 88
mm bore, a 66 mm stroke and has been redesigned to give smooth
acceleration throughout the rev range. The Desmodue engine on the
Ducati Scrambler has light machine-finished aluminium covers,
including those on the clutch and alternator. The two belt covers
are also made of aluminium and have, likewise, been machine-finished
to enhance aesthetics.
To ensure smooth integration with the compact steel teardrop tank, the Desmodue engine on the Ducati Scrambler features a single 50 mm throttle body with two sub-butterfly injectors: this solution ensures fluid power delivery and accurate control of the fuel being aspirated into the cylinders.
Pistons and crankshaft are the same as those on the Monster 796 and Hypermotard 796 power units, while the camshafts have been designed to ensure linear power delivery thanks to the adoption of an 11° valve overlap angle. The 2-in-1 exhaust with aluminium silencer has been specially designed for the Ducati Scrambler. It features an aluminium heat plate for improved rider protection and is EURO 3 compliant.
The gearbox is a 6-speed unit while the multiplate APTC oil bath clutch with cable actuation, while emphasising the minimalist nature of the Ducati Scrambler, provides a light-touch brake lever with outstanding 'feel', a real plus point when it comes to the continuous stop-and-go of inner city traffic. Moreover, it features a torque-linked anti-hopping system that prevents rear wheel chatter when downshifting.
The twin-cylinder Desmodue engine on the Ducati Scrambler has been designed to favour smooth running and fluid acceleration throughout the rev range, putting out 75 hp (55.2 kW) @ 8,250 rpm and 50.2 lb-ft (6.9 kgm) of torque @ 5,750 rpm. Just like the Ducati Scrambler itself, it is designed to be simple and accessible and also features generous 12,000 kilometres maintenance intervals.
Desmo delight
The Ducati Scrambler is iconic, as is the celebrated Ducati Desmo,
the engine valve closure system that has made Ducati famous all over
the world. This system opens and closes the intake and exhaust
valves positively and precisely, using a system of cams and levers.
The term desmodromic stems from the Greek words desmos (link) and
dromos (stroke); mechanically speaking, the term refers to
mechanisms with a control to operate them in one direction (e.g.
opening) and another which acts in the opposite direction (closure
or return).
However, the desmodromic concept is not a recent one and has been used in the motorcycle and car industries for some time. It first appeared, in a variety of forms, way back at the start of the twentieth century. In 1956 renowned engineer Fabio Taglioni set Ducati off along the desmodromic path: the first bike to feature the solution was the Grand Prix 125, which had three overhead camshafts, driven by a vertical shaft and a bevel gear.
From that point on desmodromic history became a Ducati exclusive and in 1968 the company started producing this timing system as standard with the Mark 3 Desmo 350. This milestone of a motorcycle essentially had the same timing system as current 2-valve twin cylinder engines like the one on the Ducati Scrambler, clear evidence of the concept's soundness. Used on all Ducati models, the system is also employed on Ducati Corse's Superbikes and Desmosedici MotoGP bikes.
Chassis
Frame
The Ducati Scrambler features a twin upper spar steel Trellis frame.
Essential and elegant, the Ducati Scrambler frame embraces the
engine and extends beneath the seat, providing the stiffness one
expects from a real Ducati. Thanks to a steering head angle of 24°
and a 112 mm offset on the fork yokes, manoeuvrability is
outstanding both in city traffic and on Alpine hairpins. Thanks to
the wide handlebars, weaving your way through the urban obstacle
course on a Ducati Scrambler is child's play, while the 1445 mm
wheelbase maximises stability at high speeds. The steel fuel tank,
with that unmistakeable teardrop contour, has a capacity of 13.5 l
(3.6 US gal). With an excellent frame and outstanding chassis
geometry, the Ducati Scrambler makes for relaxed riding that is easy
yet fun. User-friendly and agile, the Ducati Scrambler is a source
of endless satisfaction on both city streets and the open road.
Suspension
The Kayaba suspension system on the Ducati Scrambler makes use of a
41 mm upside down stanchion fork and a monoshock with adjustable
spring preload. Both provide 150 mm of wheel travel, ensuring the
tyres hug the ground whatever the terrain, from city streets to
undemanding off-road routes. It is this mix of comfort and
performance that makes the Ducati Scrambler unique, letting riders
express themselves to the maximum everywhere and anywhere.
Wheels and tyres
All new aluminium 10-spoke wheels - of evident flat-track origin -
come as standard on the Ducati Scrambler. The design is a throwback
to the days of thin, criss-crossed spokes inserted in the hub. The
3'' x 18'' front rim and the rear 5.5'' x 17'' one have been
designed to be light and mount the new enduro-type Pirelli MT60 RS
110/80 ZR18 tyre at the front and the 180/55 ZR17 at the rear;
featuring a chunky tread pattern, these tyres are produced
exclusively for the Ducati Scrambler. The result is outstanding
performance on surfaces of any kind.
Brembo braking system with 2-channel ABS
The Ducati Scrambler features Brembo braking using the Bosch 9.1 MP
AMS system with an internal pressure sensor. To combine maximum
stopping performance with minimalist styling the front wheel has a
single 330 mm disc, no less than 5 mm thick, with a 4-piston Brembo
M 4.32B monobloc radial-mount caliper. This heavy duty single-disc
front brake solution was chosen to leave a clear view of the wheel
design on the right. At the back, instead, a 245 mm disc is gripped
by a caliper with a 32 mm piston.
A bit of history
The Scrambler was designed following a request from the Berliner
brothers, the US importers of Ducati bikes in the 1960s. They wanted
a bike that would suit the tastes of American bikers. Initial
contact was established by Giorgio Monetti - famous for his
round-the-world ride together with Leopoldo Tartarini - who was then
Sales Manager at Ducati. It was agreed that the bike would have to
be extremely practical and the design work was entrusted to Renzo
Neri, who, even though he was Technical Department Manager at the
time, was known to have a skilled hand: the designs for the tank,
seat and mudguards are, in fact, his. The first Scrambler went into
production in 1962 and was modified uninterruptedly until 1968, when
the real "long engine cover" Scramblers appeared, followed by the
250 and 350 versions and, in 1969, the 450.
The first Scrambler series included some bikes with desmodromic cylinder heads and was the subject of continuous technical adjustments until production was discontinued in 1975. For a variety of reasons, the Scrambler was an enormous success. First of all, it embodied the rebellious, unconventional spirit of the time. It also had an exceptional frame, good enough to even be used on the racetrack. Also, it had a purpose-built engine, and great overall performance with a perfect central riding position made it one of the most enjoyable bikes of the period. Last but not least, it was cool: rounded lines with a hint of both classic and modern blended seamlessly with the bright colouring, which stood out against the black chassis setup and chrome tank.
The first Scrambler model is universally acknowledged as the meeting point between the American and European schools of motorcycling. A bike that defined an era, it became a Ducati milestone in much the same way that the 916 and Monster later would.
