Overview

Introducing the 2015 Ducati Scrambler Deus Ex Machina, a stunning homage to the classic scrambler genre that captures the spirit of freedom and adventure. This motorcycle is a collaboration between Ducati and the renowned custom motorcycle brand Deus Ex Machina, embodying a unique blend of Italian craftsmanship and a rebellious ethos. Known for its distinctive aesthetic and retro styling, the Scrambler Deus Ex Machina is more than just a bike; it's a statement on two wheels, appealing to riders who value both form and function in the urban and off-road environments. At the heart of this beauty lies an 803cc V-twin engine that delivers a robust 73.76 horsepower at 8,250 RPM, ensuring exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling ride. With a torque output of 68 Nm at 5,750 RPM, this engine provides ample power for city commuting and spirited weekend rides alike, offering a smooth and responsive throttle. The 6-speed gearbox allows for seamless gear changes, enhancing the overall riding experience. Coupled with a lightweight frame weighing in at just 178 kg (392.4 pounds), the Scrambler's power-to-weight ratio of 0.4144 HP/kg ensures a lively performance, making it agile in tight corners and stable on the open road. The Ducati Scrambler Deus Ex Machina doesn’t just excel in performance; it also boasts a range of features that enhance both comfort and safety. The trellis frame complements the bike's retro styling while providing structural integrity, and the upside-down front fork and monoshock rear suspension offer 150 mm of travel for a plush ride over various terrains. Advanced braking systems featuring ABS on both the front and rear ensure that you have reliable stopping power, with a sizable 330 mm front disc paired with four-piston calipers. Unique design elements, such as the vibrant yellow and turquoise color scheme, set this motorcycle apart, while the electric starter adds modern convenience to its classic appeal. **

Pros

  • Stylish Design: The collaboration with Deus Ex Machina results in an eye-catching aesthetic that stands out in any crowd.
  • Powerful Engine: The robust V-twin engine delivers impressive power and torque, making it a joy to ride in various conditions.
  • Agility and Handling: With a lightweight frame and responsive suspension, the Scrambler is agile and fun to maneuver, whether in the city or on winding roads.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of just 13.5 liters (3.57 gallons), longer rides may require more frequent stops for refueling.
  • Seat Height Consideration: While the seat height of 790 mm (31.1 inches) is user-friendly for many, it may not accommodate shorter riders comfortably.
  • Niche Market Appeal: The classic scrambler style may not attract riders seeking a more modern or sport-oriented motorcycle, potentially limiting its audience.
