Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2015 Ducati Scrambler Classic, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of freedom and adventure while delivering a modern twist to classic styling. Positioned within the burgeoning retro segment, the Scrambler Classic appeals to enthusiasts who crave a blend of nostalgic design and contemporary performance. With its eye-catching orange color, iconic round headlight, and minimalist aesthetics, this bike is more than just a means of transportation—it's a statement of individuality and style. At the heart of the Scrambler Classic lies an impressive 803cc V2, four-stroke engine that produces a robust 73.76 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and a torque of 68 Nm at 5,750 RPM. This powerplant is not only designed for spirited rides through winding roads but also offers a smooth, enjoyable experience in urban settings. The engine’s air-cooling and electronic fuel injection system ensure a responsive throttle and consistent performance. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, the Scrambler Classic delivers exhilarating acceleration, making every ride an adventure. Whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating city streets, the bike's lightweight design at 176.5 kg (389.1 pounds) enhances its agility, allowing for easy maneuverability. The engineering prowess of Ducati shines through in the Scrambler Classic’s key features and technology. The tubular steel Trellis frame provides excellent stability and control, while the Kayaba suspension—comprising a 41mm upside-down fork at the front and a preload-adjustable rear shock—ensures a smooth ride over varying terrains. The braking system, featuring ABS with a single disc setup and four-piston calipers at the front, offers outstanding stopping power and safety. Additionally, the 13.5-litre fuel tank strikes a balance between weight and range, allowing riders to enjoy extended journeys without frequent refueling stops. **
