Ducati Scrambler Icon 2022

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however, is again in keeping with the minimalist style, which is perhaps even a little exaggerated in the case of the (outdated) LCD instruments.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!

So this is it: the first two-cylinder motorbike from the young Brixton brand. And we can only say: Hats off! The Crossfire 500 is a strong statement in the A2 class up to 48 hp that doesn't have to hide from the established competition! A lively engine, cool looks, renowned products in brakes and chassis, as well as good workmanship are a tasty recipe for such a fun bike. If the front brake needed a little less power, the only thing to complain about would be the readability of the LC display. A real enrichment of this performance class! And if this is only the beginning of a hopefully long and successful Brixton history, we can still look forward to great things!
