Ducati Scrambler updates!

Ducati’s entry-level brand has taken over some of the duties formerly carried out by the smaller capacity Monster range, serving as the gateway drug to Bologna’s stronger material. And for 2023, the firm’s given the little retro-roadsters a bit of a mid-life tickle. The 73bhp, 803cc Desmodue engine has been treated to some flashy ride-by-wire fuel injection, which makes stuff like an up/down quickshifter and more sophisticated rider aids easier to implement.

It’s also more compact and lighter by 2.5kg, mostly thanks to a new clutch and revised side covers. The frame is modified, with a new centrally mounted rear shock and updated swingarm, and there’s slightly sharper steering geometry. Add in a new 4.3-inch full colour LCD dash, LED lights and a USB socket, and you have a decent revamp.
