2022 Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled: OFF-ROAD VALUES.
Introducing the new 2022 Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled…
Even more off-road. Even more Scrambler. Here is the new Desert Sled.
Making its way out of the roughest roads of California and New Mexico, the new Scrambler Desert Sled is designed for those who love the unconventional streets and the less traveled paths. This essential and yet grand version of Scrambler offers a unique mix of off-road spirit and lifestyle values.
The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is the Ducati Scrambler family motorcycle designed for all those who want to get away from paved roads and travel off the beaten tracks.
Desert Sleds originated in the Californian Southwest and Baja in Mexico between the 1960s and 1970s. They were road bikes of over 500 cc, deprived of any non-essential accessories on which off-road tyres, spoked wheels, modified suspension and skid plates were mounted. The name Desert Sled derives from the skid plate, essential to protect the bike from debris and the rough desert roads. Over the years, this type of motorcycle has become a real category apart in the world of two wheels: until then nothing had ever come close to a similar style.
The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled echoes this spirit exactly, without neglecting the lifestyle values of Borgo Panigale’s “Land of Joy.” Thanks to the swingarm, steering plates and dedicated suspension, spoked wheels with 19” front tyre and new lines, this is the ideal bike for all those who wish to be able to get off the asphalt roads and tackle adventurous new routes. The off-road attitude of the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is also underlined by
the presence of a homologated grille for the front headlight, by the high mudguards specially designed for this version and obviously by the skid plate.
This Ducati Scrambler version is characterized by a dedicated riding position, thanks to a saddle with upholstery that maintains the 860 mm seat (a seat with a lower height of 20 mm is available as an option), adjustable Kayaba suspension (with 46 mm diameter fork) with 200 mm of travel and off-road inspired foot-pegs with removable rubber pads.
The Desert Sled is also equipped with an “Off Road” Riding Mode in which it is possible to deactivate the ABS for off-road action.
The wheels of the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled are spoked with a black channel in sizes of 19” at the front and 17” at the rear and are fitted with Pirelli SCORPION RALLY STR tyres in sizes 120/70 R 19 M / C 60V M + S TL front and 170/60 R 17 M / C 72V M + S TL rear. The SCORPION RALLY STR combines the best performance of an off-road tyre with that of an enduro street tyre.
The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is available in “Sparking Blue” livery enhanced with red and white details on the tank and mudguards, which is completed with gold rims and the classic black frame. This colouring is a tribute to the 1980s Enduro bikes and together with the seat with anti-slip coating, the 200mm fork travel and the headlight grille, it enhances the distinctly off-road character of the bike.

Scrambler Ducati extends its 800 range for 2022 with the inclusion of the new Ducati Scrambler Urban Motard, a model with a contemporary look, designed for younger fans of the “Land of Joy” and for all those looking for an easy, fun and sporty motorcycle.
The name chosen for this latest version immediately evokes the urban atmosphere of large cities and the sense of freedom typical of the Ducati Scrambler world. The Centro Stile Ducati has expressed these concepts in the creation of a dedicated livery, which uniquely combines Star White Silk white and Ducati GP ’19 Red in an energetic graphic design inspired by the world of street art and metropolitan graffiti.
The reference to the world of Motard of this version is clear in the choice of elements such as 17″ spoked wheels, a high front mudguard, a flat seat and the side number plates, which integrate perfectly with the design that characterizes the Ducati Scrambler universe.
The Urban Motard is equipped as standard with a front LED DRL headlight, a hallmark of all Ducati Scrambler models, which is combined with a rear light with full diffusion LED technology.
Alongside the new Ducati Scrambler Urban Motard within the 800 range of the “Land of Joy”, remain the models that the community has come to know and appreciate over the years: the nonconformist Ducati Scrambler Icon can be ordered in classic “Yellow 62’” colour and in the sporty “Ducati Red”, both with black frame and black saddle, or in the essential Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark version. The elegant Ducati Scrambler Nightshift is
offered in characteristic “Aviator Grey” livery with a black frame and black dual seat, while the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, the model that best lends itself to off-road adventure, is available in “Sparking Blue” livery, enhanced by red and white details on the tank and mudguards, with gold-coloured rims.
The entire 800 range is equipped as standard with ABS Cornering for safe riding in any situation. The models are also designed for the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), which enables a smartphone to be connected to the bike via Bluetooth, while the USB socket positioned under the seat is standard.
The models that make up the Ducati Scrambler 800 family are also available in 35-kW version for A2 license holders.
To give fans of the “Land of Joy”, the universe that truly represents self-expression in Ducati, the opportunity to express their attitude to customization in the best way, Ducati Scrambler offers a wide choice in terms of clothing and accessories.
