Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2017

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.

cool look

cultivated engine

robust appearance

good brakes

really suitable for off-road use

No handguards as standard

somewhat high seat for small riders

KTM 690 SMC R 2019

KTM 690 SMC R 2019

If you want to experience unfiltered supermoto joy on the road, the KTM 690 SMC R is the only choice. The LC4 has been greatly cultivated in the meantime, but still brings the virtues you expect from a single-cylinder. Various riding aids can also be activated on choice, but these are not a must! Thanks to its low weight, it can also be thrown through the bends like a bicycle and - if you can - playfully carried to the rear wheel. The only thing that KTM could perhaps do with a makeover is the displays, because they quickly give the impression that we are still in the 90s. However, real supermoto fans will certainly not tear their hair out over this.

powerful single-cylinder - 74 hp!

playful handling

pure fun machine

high-quality electronics package

quickshifter + as standard

a real statement at the bikertreffen

Only conditionally suitable for long-distance travel

speedometer unit very spartanic
