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.

The big R 1200 GS Adventure may have been the ultimate long-distance adventure bike up to now, but anyone who also values a bit of fun and sport is certainly better served by the F 800 GS Adventure.
