Ducati Scrambler Urban Enduro 2016

The Ducati Scrambler Urban Enduro carries the adventure image most strongly among retro bikes. If Indiana Jones ever appears on our cinema screens again, I can see him saving the world on an Urban Enduro. The characteristic V2 engine and the compact appearance bring a lot of emotion, nothing stands in the way of a trip to the next dirt road. The high enduro handlebars also promise a lot of safety, but are just narrow enough to still fit between lines of cars. Nevertheless, the little Italian is not perfect. The chassis is too soft when riding fast, the engine's load-change response is too rough and the gearbox tends to twitch at high revs. However, if you don't mind this, the Scrambler Urban Enduro is a retro bike that also cuts a good figure off the road.
