The Scrambler name and design concept are a revival of the Scrambler line of dual-sport singles made from 1962–1974.[8] While the retro design incorporates some motocross elements such as the handlebar and brake pedal, the bikes are intended for street use only and are not adapted to off-road riding.[2] The Urban Enduro version, while not literally an enduro motorcycle, has additional off-road oriented components, namely wire wheels, a handlebar cross bar brace, fork protectors, a sump guard, a headlight grill, and Pirelli MT60 dual-sport tires, and Ducati says the bike "may be used occasionally on dirt trail" but it is not designed for "heavy off-road use".[9] Cycle World's Don Canet said, "tackling fire roads and mild single-track is well within the Scrambler role".[10]
The Scrambler bikes' engines and frames are made at Ducati's Borgo Panigale, Italy, factory and then shipped to Thailand for final assembly.[11] Production began in December 2014.[12]
As of 2017 there are six different variations of the Ducati Scrambler model they are the Sixty2, Icon, Classic, Full Throttle, Café Racer, and Desert Sled.[13]
Cycle World tested the 803 cc Scrambler Icon's acceleration from 0 to 1⁄4 mile (0.00 to 0.40 km) at 12.46 seconds at 170.64 km/h (106.03 mph), and 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 3.7 seconds.[2] The Icon's braking distance was 97 to 0 km/h (60 to 0 mph) of 39 m (129 ft).[2]
In 2018 Ducati added a new line of Scrambler models with a larger displacement engine (1,079 cc) [14] and larger frame, the Scrambler 1100. 3 models were introduced: Scrambler 1100, Scrambler 1100 Special, and the Scrambler 1100 Sport. The 1100 line added features that were lacking in the original Scrambler line such as Traction Control, 3 Riding Modes (Active, Journey and City), and a fuel gauge.
