Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled gets new livery and a few tweaks for 2021

Some genuine off-road chops make this a bit more than just a styling exercise

2021 Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled

The Scrambler Desert Sled is Ducati’s off-road interpretation of the Scrambler 800 model line, inspired by bikes of the ’60s and ’70s which appeared in Southern California and Baja California, Mexico. Traditionally the machines that inspired this modern day Ducati were road machines over 500 cc, stripped of unnecessary components and fitted with off-road tyres and spoked wheels, with suspension and skid plates to suit unforgiving terrain.

With a reinforced frame, aluminium swingarm, fork yokes, suspension and spoked rims (19″ at the front) the Scrambler Desert Sled is for those who might want to get a little off the beaten track. A headlight mesh guard, high mudguards and, of course, the engine skid plate add to the off-road chops and make this a bit more than just a styling exercise.

A re-upholstered seat maintains a relatively low 860 mm, however a 20 mm lower version is available as an option.  Adjustable Kayaba suspension with 200 mm of travel.

Serrated off-road style foot-pegs with removable rubber pads will help your boots get purchase in the muddy stuff. Pillion pegs are removeable.

Long travel suspension is ideally suited to off-road adventures

The Desert Sled also features an Off-Road Riding Mode that allows disengagement of the cornering ABS.

Spoked wheels are also standard fitment

For 2021 the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled offers a new look with the adoption of the “Sparking Blue” livery enriched with red and white details on the fuel tank, mudguards and gold rims, a tribute to the Enduro bikes of the ‘80s. The dash remains an LCD unit, with LED lighting.

A headlight guard and tall mudguards are also off-road ready

The 2021 Scrambler Desert Sled weighs in at 209 kg with 13.5L of fuel, produces 66.2 Nm of torque at 5750 rpm and is Euro5 compliant.  It’s expected to arrive in Australia in the first half of 2021, and will be available for $19,500 Ride-Away.
