2025 Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark: YOU CAN WEAR BLACK AT ANY TIME!

Introducing the new 2025 Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark…

Introducing the new Scrambler Ducati Icon Dark: a bold statement of minimalism and style. Stripped of excess, it’s pure freedom in timeless black. Elegant, unmistakable, and ready to be customized, coolness has never been so essential.

A bold statement of minimalism and style. Stripped of excess, it’s pure freedom in timeless black.

The first step into the Land of Joy

The Icon Dark is a bike that eliminates the superfluous through its dark black looks. It combines the minimal elegance of the second-generation Ducati Scrambler with the fun, light-hearted, and free spirit of the Land of Joy.

The essential and pure design focuses on the timeless charm of the dark liveries of a Ducati Scrambler. A bike that encourages you to express your personality even more, it serves as a canvas for enthusiasts to play with the customization possibilities that have always been a fundamental pillar of the Ducati Scrambler world.

The iconic teardrop tank, Scrambler’s distinctive element, in its total black livery creates a play of shades between the different materials, taken up by other details such as the front mudguard and the conveyors. The Scrambler® logo on the Dark Stealth tank is more modern and in line with the aggressiveness of the matt black. The essential side panels and sporty tail fairing make the Dark line even lighter and sleeker.

 

 

2025 Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

New 2025 Ducati Scrambler models: the Icon Dark and Full Throttle

With the newest episode in the 205 Ducati World Première, Ducati has unveiled two new models for the Ducati Scrambler family. The Icon Dark, the most essential and modern model in the range, is designed for those who love the Ducati Scrambler’s pure essence and are looking for a bike with clean lines and character.

The Full Throttle is updated in color, with a livery accentuating its post-heritage charm, harking back to the colors of racing vehicles from the 1970s.

 

Scrambler Full Throttle
The Scrambler Full Throttle is the sportiest proposal in the Ducati Scrambler range and is inspired by US Flat Track competitions on dirt ovals. The side number plates reprise the livery and bear the number 62 – 1962, the first year the Ducati Scrambler debuted. Together with the sump guard, they define a decidedly more aggressive look for those who do not want to go unnoticed.

The lowered handlebar with variable section, a short front mudguard, and a tail without the rear mudguard enhance the Tracker soul of the Full Throttle, embellished by the homologated Termignoni silencer, Ducati Performance LED indicators*, and Ducati Quick Shift up/down as standard.
