Ducati Scrambler Nightshift 2021

In the Scrambler 800 model series, the Nightshift presents itself as a sporty representative for the city and the country road. The engine has enough power and a wonderfully smooth response. The chassis and seating position are comfortable enough to cope with cobblestones, but the saddle is a little too hard. And if you ride too sportily, you will be disillusioned when the braking system demands a lot of power and the standard tyres convey little feeling. However, if you are looking for a cool retro bike with commuter potential and a lot of character, you should definitely consider the new Nightshift!
