Ducati Scrambler Cafè Racer

Just two years ago, when the new #ducati Scrambler brand was launched, nobody would have believed that today we would be here talking about a #scramblercaferacer. The #ducati #scramblercaferacer is the Scrambler interpretation of the legendary '60s bikes that triggered a motorcycling revolution. Free spirit and style: with its "Black Coffee" colour scheme, the #ducati #scramblercaferacer takes us from the 1960s all the way to today's Land of Joy. Back in the day, in London, a bold, forward-thinking group of young motorcyclists, the “Ton–Up Boys” of the Rocker movement, began setting up their bikes to win the sprint from one café to the next (each race was supposed to last as long as a Juke Box single). Since then, the Café Racer culture has gone on to become a global phenomenon. The #ducati Scrambler world and Café Racer culture share a style that extends beyond the bike to encompass apparel and accessories. The #ducati #scramblercaferacer thus broadens the scope of the Scrambler brand which, now, for the first time, offers a fresh take on what was one of motorcycling's most influential movements. This version has 17” wheels with Pirelli DIABLO™ ROSSO II tyres (120/70 ZR 17 at the front and 180/55 ZR17 at the rear), a pivotal feature on this more-Scramblerthan-ever version that provides plenty of scope for personalisation. The #ducati #scramblercaferacer is powered by the air and oil-cooled twin-cylinder Desmodue engine taken from the Icon, EURO 4-compliant and with black-trimmed covers and machined cooling fins. The characteristic teardrop tank with interchangeable aluminium side panels is combined with a dedicated seat featuring a cover for the passenger section. Rear-view mirrors mounted on the aluminium handlebar ends draw their inspiration from the '60s “race” look, while the radial front brake pump is a typically modern component able to ensure true sport bike braking performance. And that's not all: the Termignoni exhaust with dual tailpipes and black anodized aluminium cover, the nose fairing, lateral number holders and stubby mudguard are all clear references to the bikes that roared down British streets back in the '60s.
