Ducati has unveiled yet another variant of its Scrambler range. In the latest episode, the Ducati World Premiere, the Bologna-based bikemaker took the covers off from the Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma Edition. As the name suggests, this marks the 10th Anniversary of the companyâs Scrambler range of models.
This anniversary edition Scrambler has been built in collaboration with Ducatiâs long-standing partner Rizoma which, on this occasion, has directly contributed to a production model for the first time. Labelled as a collectorâs item, only 500 units of the Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma Edition will be produced.
The limited edition Scrambler distinguishes itself from the special paint scheme called Metal Rose which has been created by Rizoma in collaboration with the Centre Stile Ducati. This special triple-tone livery is based on the chromatic balance of Stone White, black and Metal Rose. The blacked-out finish in fuel tank, engine, bar-end mirrors, exhaust mufflers, and chassis components act as a background to highlight the details in Metal Rose including covers, footrests, and windshield.
A combination of the Metal rose and the all-black components create a nice contrast with the Stone White of the tank cover and the sporty mudguard. Design-wise, it is largely similar to the rest of the scrambler lineup with highlights such as a round headlamp with a smoky treatment and a guard, all-black alloy wheels shod with knobby tyres, and a sculpted teardrop-shaped fuel tank.
Based on the second generation Ducati Scrambler which made its debut last year, the Scrambler 10th Anniversary Rizoma Edition is powered by the same 803cc L-Twin, Desmodromic 2-valve air-cooled engine which churns out 72 bhp at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 65.2 Nm at 7000 rpm. Transmission duties are carried out by a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch.
In terms of features, it gets the same equipment as the rest of the Scrambler range which includes a 4.3-inch TFT instrument panel, and a host of electronic riding aids such as ride-by-wire, multi-level traction control, multiple power modes, and a quick-shifter. When it comes to hardware, the Scrambler 10th Anniversary Rizoma Edition gets a Kayaba-sourced suspension setup featuring 41 mm upside-down fork and a shock absorber with adjustable spring preload.Â
Both units offers a wheel travel of 150 mm in mild trails. Braking duties are carried out by a single 330 mm disc at the front, coupled to a Brembo four-piston monobloc calliper with radial attachment. At the rear is a 245 mm disc with a single-piston calliper.
