2017 Ducati DESERT SLEDEdit
The Desert Sled replaces the Urban Enduro variation for 2017, and represents a step further towards true off-road capability for the Scrambler. The frame has been reinforced for off-road duty, and a new aluminum swingarm is longer and stronger than that used on the other Scrambler 800 models.
Like the other 2017 Scrambler models, the Desert Sled’s 803cc L-twin, air-and-oil-cooled engine is Euro 4 compliant, and has been reworked with a new throttle control and smoother response, especially at lower rpm. It claims a peak of 75 horsepower at 8,250 rpm, and 50.2 lb-ft of torque at 5,750 rpm. Bosch 9.1 ABS is standard.
