Ducati has unveiled its latest bet in the Scrambler segment: the Icon Dark. This new model is a pure expression of style and minimalist functionality, offering a visually striking and stripped-down alternative. The Icon Dark comes with a timeless, all-black design that focuses on simplicity and sophistication, transforming into the perfect canvas for those who want to customize their bike to their taste.
Black Aesthetics, Timeless Elegance
With a design focused on sobriety, the Scrambler Icon Dark abandons flashy details, opting for a monochromatic palette that enhances elegance. Matte black covers the fuel tank, fender, and even the headlight covers, creating a uniform look that exudes sophistication. This aesthetic approach gives the Icon Dark a distinct posture, which is easily recognizable for its simplicity and charm.
Lightness and Agility
The lightness of the chassis and engine makes the Scrambler Icon Dark easy to maneuver and control on any terrain, providing a light and agile ride. Inspired by the Nightshift and Full Throttle models, the rear of the bike, along with the belt covers and handlebar mounts in black, maintain the focus on a stripped-down and functional aesthetic. The result is a robust bike, but without excessive weight, offering a practical and fun riding experience.
Technology at the service of riding
Despite its classic design, the Icon Dark is equipped with advanced technology for a comfortable and safe ride. It includes a 4.3-inch TFT screen, Ride-by-Wire throttle, and a full LED lighting system. The X-shaped daytime running light (DRL) not only enhances visibility but also adds a contemporary touch to its look. Electronic aids, such as cornering ABS and Ducati traction control, ensure that riding is safe and adaptable, even for less experienced riders.
Technical performance and comfort
Equipped with the classic 803 cc L-Twin engine, the Scrambler Icon Dark produces 73 hp at 8,250 rpm, ideal for a smooth and stable ride. The six-speed transmission, coupled with the hydraulically controlled multi-plate clutch, ensures smooth gear changes. In terms of suspension, the model features a 41mm inverted Kayaba fork at the front and a rear shock absorber with preload adjustment, both designed to provide good performance on rough roads.
Specifications and standard equipment
In addition to a refined aesthetic and cutting-edge technology, the Icon Dark features high-performance brakes with 330mm front and 245mm rear discs, both equipped with Bosch Cornering ABS for safe braking in any situation. The bike also has a standard USB port, ideal for keeping devices charged during trips.
A timeless option
Available with a 24-month warranty, the Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark is the ideal model for those who value an essential design and the possibility of customization. Complying with the Euro 5+ standard and with a consumption of 5.2 l/100 km, the Icon Dark is also an environmentally conscious choice.
The Icon Dark is a style statement, where black is no longer just a color but becomes an affirmation of attitude. For those who want to stand out in a discreet way, this Scrambler offers a mix of performance and elegance that captivates and impresses.
