Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2021

Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2021

The Desert Sled may not be made for tough off-road use, but it is well equipped for fun parties on gravel roads and in light terrain. With the additional riding mode (ABS can be switched off at the rear wheel), the large 19-inch front wheel and the fully adjustable suspension elements, it certainly meets these requirements. The seat height of 860 also suggests that off-road rides are not completely absurd. Presumably, however, it is this breathtakingly pretty look of the Desert Sled that will arouse the interest of retro fans anyway.

Can do everything but nothing well? A clear NO! The lively and agile retro bike with a sufficiently powerful engine can be a good all-rounder, which also looks good and tempts you to heat up the curves. Overall, the bike is fantastically manageable and sporty for me, even as a woman. The engine works better than expected and the seating position is more than comfortable. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of lean angle. I think that many people will continue to choose this bike because you simply can't go far wrong.

successful design

proven CP2 engine

Display difficult to read

Relatively soft chassis

Rather little lean angle clearance
