Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha SCR950 2017

A nova SCR950 expande ainda mais a vasta gama de motos retro "Faster Sons". Uma moto minimalista, visualmente muito bem sucedida, com belos elementos scrambler. Ao conduzir no asfalto, só se nota que a XV950 cruiser serve de base devido ao baixo ângulo de inclinação. O motor, por outro lado, puxa bem e os travões, cada um com um disco 298 à frente e atrás, fazem um bom esforço. Fora de estrada, no entanto, os elementos da suspensão partem-se rapidamente devido ao elevado peso de 252 quilos. Em suma, uma interpretação interessante e muito bem executada de uma scrambler muito antiga.
Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2017

O Desert Sled não foi concebido para uma utilização dura em todo-o-terreno, mas para sessões de diversão em estradas de gravilha e em terrenos ligeiros. Com o seu quadro reforçado, a grande roda dianteira de 19" e os elementos de suspensão totalmente ajustáveis, tem em conta as exigências do seu novo campo de utilização. A altura do assento de 860 milímetros (840 milímetros com um assento mais baixo) também sugere que as excursões fora de estrada não são completamente absurdas. A Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled é exatamente o mesmo, mas sem ignorar o espírito de estilo de vida. Felizmente, a grelha do farol da nova Scrambler está homologada, assim como os guarda-lamas altos.
