Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Monster 1200 2020

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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.

cool look

refined engine

robust appearance

really off-road capable

additional riding mode

cornering ABS

somewhat high seat for small riders

brake needs hand power

not cheap
