Overview

Introducing the 2017 Ducati Scrambler Classic: A Nostalgic Journey with Modern Performance The 2017 Ducati Scrambler Classic stands as a tribute to the golden age of motorcycling, seamlessly blending timeless aesthetics with modern technology. Positioned in the ever-popular classic segment, this bike appeals to both seasoned riders and those drawn to the vintage charm of the open road. With its classic Italian design and robust performance, the Scrambler Classic captures the essence of freedom and adventure that defines the Scrambler family. Whether you're cruising through city streets or carving up winding back roads, the Scrambler Classic promises an engaging and exhilarating riding experience. At the heart of the Scrambler Classic lies an 803 cc L-twin engine, delivering a spirited 75 horsepower at 8250 RPM and a torque of 68 Nm at 5750 RPM. This powerful four-stroke V2 engine not only provides a satisfying punch for spirited rides but also exhibits a smooth and linear power delivery, making it accessible to riders of varying skill levels. The 6-speed gearbox ensures that power is transmitted seamlessly through the chain final drive, while the air-cooled system maintains optimal engine temperatures, even during prolonged rides. The combination of a lightweight frame and a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4261 HP/kg enhances agility and maneuverability, allowing riders to effortlessly navigate through urban landscapes or enjoy the thrill of twisty mountain roads. The Scrambler Classic is not just about performance; it also boasts a collection of features and technologies that enhance the overall riding experience. The tubular steel trellis frame provides both rigidity and style, while the upside-down Kayaba forks and adjustable rear shock deliver a plush ride with 150 mm of travel front and rear. Safety features include advanced ABS braking systems, ensuring confident stopping power in any condition. The bike's classic design is complemented by modern touches, such as electric start functionality and a choice of vibrant yellow color, making it a head-turner wherever it goes. **
