Previous model Ducati Scrambler 450

The Ducati Scrambler 800 is a bare motorcycle from the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati . The Scrambler was presented at the World Ducati Week (WDW) in Misano and at the Intermot 2014 and has been manufactured in Bologna since 2014 .

history

Ducati built Scramblers with displacements of 250, 350 and finally 450 cubic centimeters from 1962 to 1976, which were mainly sold in the United States. As a tribute to the motorcycles from the 1960s, the fuel tank cap is engraved with “Born in 1962” and the ignition lock is integrated into the headlight housing. Ducati calls this style “post-heritage”.

variants

The Scrambler is available in the five variants "Icon", "Urban Enduro", "Classic", "Full Throttle" and "Flat Track Pro". In addition, there is a special edition "Italia Independent", limited to 1077 pieces, which stands out from the other models in particular with its colored frame and colored wheels. The suction motor , frame, swing arm, fork and brakes are the same for all models. They differ in their interchangeable components such as cast or wire-spoke wheels, three different seats, mufflers with short single or double pipes, conventional rear fenders or wheel covers attached to the side of the rear wheel hub, handlebars with or without center strut, four different front fenders and the side fuel tank covers.

Since 2017 the variants Cafe Racer , Mach 2.0 , Desert Sled , Sixty2 have also been offered. The Urban Enduro and Flat Track Pro versions were no longer available .

construction

drive

The air and oil-cooled two - cylinder engine is based on the Desmodue twin of the Ducati Monster 796 , but has a modified camshaft . The transversely installed V-engine has a cylinder angle of 90 degrees and is installed in an L-shape. From a displacement of 803 cm³, the four-stroke engine generates a nominal output of 55 kW (75 HP) at a speed of 8250 min −1 and a maximum torque of 68 Nm at 5750 min −1 . The valve overlap is 11 degrees. In each of the two cylinder heads , a timing belt-driven, overhead camshaft controls the intake and exhaust valves via a desmodromic system .

The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 195 km / h.

Fuel supply

The mixture is formed via an electronically controlled intake manifold injection . The two throttle valves have a diameter of 50 mm. The 2-in-1 exhaust system made of stainless steel leads into a rear silencer on the right-hand side of the vehicle. The catalytic converter, which is regulated by two lambda sensors , reduces the pollutant concentration below the limit values ​​of the Euro-3 emissions standard . The fuel tank has a capacity of 13.5 liters and the theoretical range on country roads is 293 km.

landing gear

The chassis consists of a steel tubular space frame . The front wheel is guided by an upside-down telescopic fork with a 41 mm standpipe diameter and 150 mm of spring travel and is decelerated by a 330 mm brake disc with a four-piston fixed calliper. The steering head has an angle of 66 degrees, the caster is 112 mm. The sitting position is upright.

The rear wheel guide consists of a double arm swing arm made of tubular steel with an adjustable mono suspension strut attached to the left , which deflects a maximum of 150 mm. The shock absorber on the rear swing arm is directly hinged and tends to under-dampen. The dry weight is 170 kg, the empty weight is 186 kg and the total weight is 390 kg.

The standard, disengageable anti-lock braking system MP9.1 from Bosch supports the deceleration.

Mechatronics

The round headlight and the rear light are made using LED technology . A digital round instrument in the cockpit shows the speed. There is a USB port under the bench . There is no gear or fuel gauge.

Market positioning

According to Florian Pillau, the motorcycle retro wave has “a fashion-driven attraction for younger people who individually spice up and convert nostalgic motorcycles. You don't want an off-the-shelf bike, you want something unique. It's not about performance, it's about individuality. ”In the scrambler market segment, the Ducati competes with the Triumph Scrambler , which has been on the market since 2006, the Moto Guzzi V7 Scrambler and the BMW R nineT Scrambler . In the field of retro motorcycles, roadsters from BMW, Honda, Kawasaki and Moto Guzzi are also offered.

Ducati usually relies on values ​​such as Supersport and Premium, which is why the manufacturer sets the Scrambler apart from the other product lines in terms of presentation and appearance and markets it on its own website. For the motorcycle tester Clemens Gleich, the Scrambler is “a great little motorcycle that brings the basics of motorcycling back to the fore”.

According to Paul Owen, the Scrambler can best be compared with the Suzuki TS 400 (1971–1979) in terms of “punch”, seating position and chassis . Clemens Gleich feels like the Yamaha SR500 thanks to the “lovingly retro-designed, conservative geometry” (1978–1999).

Reviews

“It should be noted that the suspension elements are not designed to be too comfortable, at the rear the suspension strut occasionally tramples in the back. And for longer tours, the footrests are a little too high. Otherwise, the new Ducati is emphatically puristic. It does without electronic driving aids, nothing needs to be adjusted. "

- Thilo Kozik : Süddeutsche Zeitung

“The chassis of the Ducati Scrambler [...] springs and dampens honestly to directly, but with its not exactly super-sensitive response on bad surfaces, it forces you to slow down a little. [...] The Scrambler is an honest, personable motorcycle for Kevlar flannel and jet helmet wearers, those who want to slow down and those who want to slow down. "

- Johannes Müller : Motorrad , issue 1/2015

“A good 190 km / h is possible, but not a pleasure: Because of the upright 'I-embrace-the-world-posture' behind the antler handlebar, you immediately take off the gas. For long distances you need a hardened buttocks: Over time, a hollow is pressed into the low-lying upholstery (79 cm seat height). After two hours, every additional kilometer onions. On the other hand, this handy, well-balanced Ducati does not show anything during the brisk lap through the curvy hinterland. She goes with every rhythm. She also likes the hustle and bustle of the city, although the clutch jerks a little when starting off. "

- Walter Wille : Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

“[The Ducati Scrambler is] a bike that is basically as sporty as a monster but with a more laid-back personality. It's just about as easy to relax on while offering a lot more performance headroom. Even if its suspension is a bit stiff for bumpy dirt roads, the bike is ultimately truer to the scrambler ethic, both in image and performance numbers, freeing both your mind and your body just a little bit more. The real power of the new Ducati Scrambler is that it will evoke a feeling of longing and nostalgia 20 years from now, and anybody who's ridden the bike will know just how real it is. "

“[The Ducati Scrambler is] a motorcycle that is basically as sporty as a monster , but with a more casual character. It's easy to relax on it while it still has plenty of power reserves. Even if the chassis is a little too stiff for bumpy dirt roads, the motorcycle is ultimately more true to the scrambler ethic, both in appearance and in performance, and frees mind and body a little more. The real strength of the new Ducati Scrambler is that it evokes a sense of longing and nostalgia from 20 years ago, and anyone who drives the bike will see how real it is. "
