Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer 2020

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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!
