Motorcycle specifications DucatiSCRAMBLER 800 Nightshift 2021 The twin of the night

A new addition to the range, the Scrambler Nightshift is a mix of the different versions that have appeared in recent years. A relay through the night, for the rider who wakes up when the atmosphere goes dark.

The Nightshift features the vintage logo and spoked rims of the Classic, the number plates and exhausts of the Full Throttle, the rear-view mirrors of the Café Racer, a special Cafra-style saddle and the flat handlebars of the 1100 Sport Pro, apt to bring you a little closer to the driver's seat. Is Ducati attempting the Scrambler symbiosis in this new chapter?

Left to its own devices in the dead of night, the Nightshift is covered in a layer of ash to take it with it. Somewhat uncluttered, it doesn't need a rear mudguard. Almost taciturn when some find it beautiful, it's with LEDs that they express its flashing lights. By reconciling sportiness with comfort, Café Racer and Full Throttle, he has sealed the deal.

While the Multistrada V4 bids farewell to the company's iconic chromosomes, this Scrambler perpetuates the desmo and its timeless charm. The two bowls shake in 803 cm3 to produce 73 horsepower and some 6.7 mkg. Power to emphasize ease of use and smile-inducing rides. It's not lightning either, but Scramblers have never claimed to be.

simple in appearance, with its minimalist tubular steel trellis frame and single front brake disc (330 mm, nonetheless), the Nightshift quietly but surely puts forward the arguments of a Ducati. 41 mm inverted fork, 4-piston radial brake caliper on a 330 mm track, full LED lighting, active ABS when cornering, USB connector, aluminum swingarm, "good old days" mechanical appearance and Italian charm.
Slightly heavier than theIcon, the bike still weighs in at under 200 kilos.

The latest addition to the Scrambler family is also the most mysterious. With no flashy colors, the recovery of elements from its siblings, an 'Aviator Grey' dress that goes against the "Land of joy" theme, more masculine handlebars than usual and a nostalgic engine - it would seem that the concept is still capable of little surprises... A bit like the H-D Sportster, which offered us multiple versions. No, I'm not referring to the Nightster at all
