Most of the Scramblers models in the 2022 Ducati lineup haven’t been updated for the new year. The Scrambler Desert Sled remains the same for 2022. Very much a homage to the desert racers of the past from the Italian Manufacturer, it’s got red and white details on the tank and mudguards, plus a new, off-road character for tackling the dunes.

While the engine has seen a bit of an upgrade to meet emissions standards in Europe, nothing drastic has changed. Ducati Motorcycle kept the motor the same 803cc Desmodromic L-twin engine as before, producing the same outputs of 73 horsepower and 48.8 lb-ft of peak torque. In terms of standard equipment, it also features the usual cornering ABS technology, with smart LED lighting and LCD instrumentation.

The Desert Sled does get a few tasty mods though. These come in the form of an aluminum handlebar with a cross-strut, front stem protectors, a high front mudguard, a longer rear mudguard, and a specially designed seat for real desert scrambling.

For 2022, the Scrambler Desert Sled is available in a stunning “Sparking Blue” color option with red and white details. “Look Ma! It comes with golden rims!”

The 2022 Ducati Desert Sled starts at MSRP: $11,695 USD / $13,295 CDN
