2021 Ducati Scrambler Nightshift Unveiled

Ducati has introduced a new variant in its Scrambler range, calling it Scrambler Nightshift. The Scrambler Nightshift is finished in black and grey and features a flat bench seat and cafe racer style bar end mirrors. For 2021, the Scrambler Nightshift replaces the Scrambler Cafe Racer and Full Throttle variants, and is essentially a blend of the two. The Scrambler Icon gets a new Ducati Red colour option, while the Desert Sled gets 'Sparkling Blue' livery enriched with red, and Iceberg White finishes for the Scrambler Desert Sled.

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. The Nightshift has a 180 kg dry weight, and gets LED DRL, LED taillight, and a LCD instrument panel with gear and fuel level indicator. Bosch cornering ABS is standard, and Brembo supplies the brake calipers.

The Euro 5 compliant engine puts out 72 bhp at 8,250 rpm and peak torque of 66 Nm at 5,750 rpm. All three Euro 5 models are likely to be offered on sale in India sometime in the first half of 2021.
