Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2017

The Desert Sled is not made for tough off-road use, but for fun sessions on gravel roads and in light terrain. With its reinforced frame, large 19" front wheel and fully adjustable suspension elements, it takes into account the requirements of its new field of use. The seat height of 860 millimetres (840 millimetres with a lower seat) also suggests that off-road excursions are not completely absurd. The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is just the same, but without ignoring the spirit of lifestyle. Fortunately, the headlight grille of the new Scrambler is homologated, as are the high mudguards.

The Adventure R goes one step further than the standard model. Here, the WP guys were finally allowed to draw on their full resources and show what they can do. The higher-quality chassis compensates for the disadvantages of the long suspension travel on the road, but scores points off-road with massive reserves. The surcharge is more than justified. The seat height will probably restrict the clientele somewhat.
