Ducati's new variant in the Scrambler range, called the Ducati Scrambler Nightshift, is a black and grey take on the Scrambler, but is more of a blend of the now discontinued Scrambler Cafe Racer and the Scrambler Full Throttle variants. Available in just one single colour option of Aviator Grey, the Nightshift gets a flat seat, a straight and narrow handlebar with cafe racer mirrors, and with number plates taken from the Full Throttle. The rear mud-guard has been completely done away with. The Nighshift is equipped with Pirelli MT60 tyres with spoked wheels, and retains the 18-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel size of the Scrambler Icon.
Design
The Nightshift sports a narrow aluminium handlebar, rather than cafe racer clip-ons, which should provide an aggressive yet friendly riding position. The front fender has been chopped off to a small piece, while the rear fender has been completely done away with. There's a small swingarm-mounted fender that doubles up as the holder for the licence plate and the brakelight. The turn indicators are mounted on the stub behind the seat.
