The 2023 Scrambler gets all-LED lighting with the X-design headlight with its catchy DRLs ad tiny turn indicators. The new 4.3 TFT display that sits just behind it looks swanky too and the handlebar controls will allow you to shift through apps once you're connected via Bluetooth. The 2023 Scrambler also gets a new tank design and the customisable coloured body panels, which give it a less laid back appearance. The tail section is a lot tighter too with the new swingarm that drives a shock absorber in a central position and no longer on the left side, then there's the with new tail panels, a slimmer seat as well. The end can is slightly larger than the unit on the older model too. The new rider aid suite - which comprises Cornering ABS, traction control and two ride modes (road and wet).

2023 Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle

The front fender is shorter and sportier, as is the tail without a rear fender. It also gets longer side number plates bearing the number 62 which is a nod to the debut of Ducati's original Scrambler models back in 1962. The bike gets a flat-tracker style skid plate, red tags on the alloy wheels, black finished front side covers, a homologated Termignoni silencer and Ducati Performance LED turn signals.
The handlebars, with variable section, are lower and sportier than on the Scrambler Icon for an even more agile and fun ride. The bike also gets a bi-directional quick shifter as standard as well.
2023 Ducati Scrambler Nightshift
The Nightshift is the more graceful version of the Full Throttle â" with the same side number plates, minimal front mudguard no rear mudguard and tiny turn indicators. It looks brilliant in the Nebula Blue color scheme, those suave blacked out aluminium finished bits and the all-black spoke wheels.
The new Scrambler Nightshift is equipped with a straight handlebar and Caf Racer mirrors on the handlebars. The new seat is flat, Caf Racer style, comfortable for both rider and passenger.
