Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled

The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled has a top speed of 170 km/h, produces 73 hp and weighs 211 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.

Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled diperkenalkan pada tahun 2017 sebagai bagian dari keluarga Scrambler, dirancang untuk menawarkan kemampuan off-road yang ditingkatkan dibandingkan Scrambler Icon standar. Mobil ini menampilkan perjalanan suspensi yang lebih panjang, roda wire-spike, dan ergonomi off-road yang disetel, menarik inspirasi dari budaya balap jalur datar dan gurun tahun 1970-an. Ini menjadi salah satu kelas menengah berorientasi petualangan paling populer di segmennya, menerima pembaruan termasuk edisi khusus Fasthouse pada tahun 2021 merayakan kemenangan Daytona 200 Ducati.

Apa yang Harus Diketahui Pembeli

🔧

Watch the Desmo Service

The Ducati Desmodromic valve system requires mandatory service every 15,000 miles, which can cost $600–$1,200. Always verify service history before buying — skipped Desmo services are the #1 hidden cost for used buyers.

🏍️

Long-Travel Adventure Ready

The Desert Sled features 7.9 inches of front suspension travel and spoked tubeless wheels, making it genuinely capable on light off-road terrain unlike most scrambler-style bikes. It's one of the few Ducatis built to get dirty.

💰

Strong Resale Value

Desert Sleds hold their value well compared to competitors, typically retaining 70–80% of MSRP after two years due to limited production and strong brand demand. Low-mileage examples sell quickly on the used market.

8.0/10
Terbaik untuk
Adventure-minded riders wanting Italian character and capability

"The most honest Scrambler money can buy, used or otherwise."

$7,500-$11,000 used

The Desert Sled is arguably the best thing Ducati did with the Scrambler platform — they took a pretty bike and made it actually capable. The longer travel suspension, spoked wheels, and proper off-road rubber transform what's essentially a retro-styled street bike into something that'll genuinely handle fire roads and gravel tracks without embarrassing you. The 803cc air-cooled L-twin punches out around 73hp and it feels characterful rather than just fast — that slight vibration through the bars is part of the charm, not a flaw. Buying used, check the suspension carefully — previous owners who actually used it off-road may have hammered it harder than the components appreciated. Also inspect the spoked wheels for damage and make sure the Pirelli Scorpion Rally tires have decent life left, because replacements aren't cheap. Service intervals are every 7,500 miles and Ducati dealership costs are real, so get a full service history. The Testastretta engine is generally reliable but belt changes are non-negotiable and expensive if neglected.
