Targeted at the urban dwellers, the Scrambler Urban Motard joins Ducati’s vast lineup of Scrambler models consisting of Icon, Icon Dark, Nightshift, and Desert Sled.

Ducati Scrambler Urban Motard: Design And Features
The overall design gets all signature Scrambler cues. There is a sporty-looking high-mounted beak-like front mudguard in Red, that could instantly remind you of the Hypermotard. The fuel tank looks unmistakeably Scrambler-ish and gets decals inspired by street Graffiti. The livery (Star Silk White + Ducati GP 2019 Red + graffiti decals) as such has a great influence gone into it, of street art and urban graffiti. Like all other Scrambler models, the Urban Motard also features a flat seat, low Aluminium handlebar, and side number plate. The round LED headlamp keeps the retro character safe. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch wire-spoked wheels, which further adds to its Scrambler character. These get Pirelli Diablo Rosso III rubber with 120/70 section at the front and 180/55 at the rear. The Scrambler Urban Motard has a dry weight of 180 kilograms and 805 mm seat height- could thus be fairly nimble.
Key features on the Scrambler Urban Motard 800 include an LCD instrument cluster with a host of indications, information, and warnings on offer, Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), USB charging point, and under-seat storage.
