Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2021

Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2021

The Desert Sled may not be made for tough off-road use, but it is well equipped for fun parties on gravel roads and in light terrain. With the additional riding mode (ABS can be switched off at the rear wheel), the large 19-inch front wheel and the fully adjustable suspension elements, it certainly meets these requirements. The seat height of 860 also suggests that off-road rides are not completely absurd. Presumably, however, it is this breathtakingly pretty look of the Desert Sled that will arouse the interest of retro fans anyway.

cool look

refined engine

robust appearance

really off-road capable

additional riding mode

cornering ABS

somewhat high seat for small riders

brake needs hand power

not cheap

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2020

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2020

As one of 5 different R nineTs, the Urban G/S is also a successful variation of the air-cooled boxer, which, as in the other models, produces 110 hp and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of more power. The brakes are also on the same high level as those of the original R nineT, only the chassis has to make concessions. ABS comes as standard, ASC at extra cost. You don't need much more to be happy. The only thing we wouldn't want to do without are the wire-spoke rims, because together with the TKC80 they complete the look.

terrific, authentic G/S look

powerful brakes, powerful engine

Enduro-typical reduced to the bare essentials

custom bike ex works

Wire-spoke rims not standard

ASC not standard

dirt and trouser paint visible on seat bench
