Ducati Scrambler 2G: Tyres & Wheels

Since its inception, the Ducati Scrambler has remained a supermoto motorcycle which is light, lean and nimble, which along with the powerful L-twin engine, make it a fun-to-ride motorcycle. To make it a versatile motorcycle which can handle both smooth and rough roads with equal finesse, Ducati chose to equip the Scrambler with Pirelli MT 60 RS tubeless radial dual-purpose tyres. 

In this second-generation model of the Scrambler, Ducati has retained the 110/80 R17 front and 180/55 R17 rear tubeless radial tyres from the previous-gen model.

The Pirelli MT 60 RS tyres designed for Ducati Scrambler 2G have radial carcasses with zero-degree steel belts for their construction, which help them improve stability under hard braking and cornering abilities at higher speeds. The multi-radius road-oriented profile of the tyre enhances the overall handling of the Ducati Scrambler 2G, even during quick lean transitions.

Ducati Scrambler 2G: Looks & Design

The new second-generation Ducati Scrambler 2G retains the lean and athletic look of the previous-generation model, though every panel and component of the motorcycle has been revised, with some additional features introduced as well. 

The motorcycle now features all-LED lighting for the rounded headlamp, turn indicators and tail lamp, along with a new 4.3-inch full-TFT instrument console. These new features are common to all three variants of the Ducati Scrambler 2G, the details of which are as follows:

Icon – The Scrambler Icon comes with a new flat seat, black-coloured side panels and simpler body decals, and is offered in three standard colours – ’62 Yellow Red, Ducati Red and Thrilling Black.

Full Throttle – The Scrambler Full Throttle has an even lower-set handlebar, and comes equipped with a Termignoni exhaust with a black-coloured cover, a #62 badge on the black-coloured side panels and rounded LED turn indicators. 

Nightshift – The Scrambler Nightshift is the most off-road-oriented version of the motorcycle, which comes with spoke wheels, a flat-set variable section handlebar with bar-end rearview mirrors.
