Scramblers

803cc V-twin 72.4bhp / 49.4ftlb 189kg (dry) £8150 (Icon)

Ducati have made a swathe of changes to the whole Scrambler range for 2019. That range now comprises: Icon, Full Throttle, Café Racer and Desert Sled, all of which get a DRL headlight that looks sharper, cleaner and more modern, LED indicators with auto-off, redesigned switchgear an updated LCD clock unit (now with fuel and gear indicators), and media connectivi­ty for music, incoming phone calls, or riderto-pillion intercom. They also get the latest Bosch ABS coupled to an IMU that means they now boast cornering ABS (still no traction control).

The clutch cable has given way to a hydraulic set-up and both clutch and brake levers are now span adjustable. Our pick is the Café Racer. It was always the best of the bunch for roadonly riders, and it gets new 17in spoked rims with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres, and a fantastic new retro paintjob, too.
