With both front and rear disc brakes, Ducati Scrambler Nightshift comes up with anti-locking braking system. Ducati India has extended its Scrambler portfolio with the launch of the Nightshift edition. The new variant of the Scrambler family features the “Aviator Grey” paint that gives it a stealthy look.

The motorcycle comes equipped with features such as LED lighting, new Caf© Racer-style flat seat, an asymmetrically mounted LCD instrument cluster, a flat-track inspired side number plates, a wide handlebar, and a rear-hugger-mounted number plate. The Scrambler Nightshift is built around a steel trellis frame and it rides on 17-inch wire-spoke wheels that are wrapped in Pirelli MT60 tyres.

Mechanical specifications include an 803cc, L-twin two-valve engine that produces a maximum power of 73bhp at 8,250rpm and a peak torque output of 66.2 Nm at 5,750rpm. Ducati claims that the motor has been tuned for a smooth power delivery across the rev range. The six-speed gearbox benefits from a servo-assisted slipper function that is aimed to limit the rear wheel destabilisation during down-shifts.

The hardware on the Scrambler Nightshift comprises Kayaba 41mm, upside-down telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable Kayaba rear mono-shock to perform the suspension tasks. The anchoring setup includes a 330mm single disc at the front and a 245mm single rotor at the back, while the safety net includes cornering-sensitive Bosch ABS. The Nightshift tips the weighing scale at 196kg (wet).
