Ducati Scrambler 1100

Ducati Scrambler 1100 brings the scrambler idea to riders who want a bigger, stronger-feeling road bike with an easier stance than a full-on sport model. By our assessment, its good point is the mix of upright riding position, broad-road usability, and the recognisable Ducati style that makes the bike look and feel less fussy than the Panigale side of the range. The trade-off is that this is still a big machine with a premium-bike temperament, so it is not the light, cheap, casual scrambler some people picture. In use it tends to feel relaxed on the road, with enough presence to make slower urban riding and weekend cruising its natural home. Compared with smaller scramblers, Ducati Scrambler 1100 sits closer to a grown-up roadster than a simple retro toy. It suits riders who want style and torque without leaning all the way into a superbike posture, and the 1100 badge marks that larger, more substantial feel.
