Ducati Scrambler Icon 2021

Ducati Scrambler Icon 2021

While the many different motorbike genres are becoming increasingly blurred and overlapping, the Ducati Scrambler Icon is indeed the uncomplicated and robust scrambler promised in its name. The wide handlebars make for unbelievably easy handling, so it's easy to forgive the fact that the comfort-oriented chassis has no adjustable fork, while the shock absorber can at least be adjusted in rebound and spring preload. You also forgive the fact that the front single disc needs quite a bit of manual force; after all, it is very commendable that a cornering ABS is fitted as standard. The rest of the equipment, however, is again in keeping with the minimalist style, which is perhaps even a little exaggerated in the case of the (outdated) LCD instruments. All in all, however, the Scrambler Icon convinces above all with its successful appearance, which conveys what it's all about even when stationary: lifestyle instead of riding style!
