Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2022 Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of freedom and adventure while seamlessly blending vintage aesthetics with modern engineering. Positioned as an all-rounder in Ducati's lineup, the Scrambler Icon Dark is designed for both urban commuting and weekend escapades. Its striking black finish not only enhances its rugged appeal but also speaks to riders who appreciate a minimalist, yet bold style. This bike offers a versatile platform for both novice and experienced riders alike, making it a perfect entry point into the world of Ducati. At the heart of the Scrambler Icon Dark lies a spirited 803cc L-twin engine that delivers an exhilarating 73 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and a robust torque of 66.2 Nm at 5,750 RPM. This combination ensures that whether you're navigating city streets or carving through twisty backroads, the bike responds eagerly to your throttle inputs. The air-cooled engine, paired with a 6-speed gearbox, offers a smooth and engaging ride, while the slipper clutch enhances performance during aggressive downshifts. With a fuel consumption rate of 5.20 liters per 100 km (or an impressive 45.23 mpg), the Scrambler Icon Dark invites you to ride further without the constant worry of refueling. Ducati has equipped the Scrambler Icon Dark with features that elevate both comfort and safety. The tubular steel trellis frame provides a nimble handling experience, complemented by a plush suspension setup featuring a 41mm upside-down telescopic fork and a pre-load adjustable Kayaba rear shock, both offering 150mm of travel. The double disc ABS brakes at the front ensure confident stopping power, while the bike's manageable weight of 173 kg (381.4 lbs) enhances maneuverability. With a seat height of 798 mm (31.4 inches), the Scrambler is accessible for riders of varying heights, ensuring a comfortable riding position for all. **
