This has to be the most down to earth and honest review. The presenter doesn’t the usual ego that goes along with reviewers and the background track isn’t crappy garage rock for once. I really enjoyed this, thank you!
I own the icon dark which minus a skid plate and that raised front fender and head light guard(which can be added) it’s the same bike and I love my bike so much
For sure Ducati scramblers are pretty nimble and have that stripped down cool factor compared to poofed up factory adventure bikes that are uncomfortably close to ugly. Huge adv bikes are Winnebago-ish fat hogs IMHO. Triumph scramblers are also great looking and SOUNDING bikes but a little heavier. Heavy means anti-scramble, stuck in a ditch, hard to stash at night on road trips. That's what I hate about slobbish, huge adv pigs. Riding around Thailand, Laos, Burma, VN.. get in some rocky stuff, better have enough suspension but weight and hugeness is a mood killer. Add slippery and steep to rocks and ruts .. weight morphs into the enemy.
Can you get any of the enduro features like the engine protector put on the smaller scrambler like the 62? I'm liking this bike but I want something more like 4 or 500cc
Good review. I wonder how reliable they are. My perception of Ducati unreliability is interacting with 'made in Thailand' to produce doubts in my mind.
+1990 We think that's a unfair judgment. Ducati has improved this stuff hugely in recent years and being made in Thailand doesn't determine if the factory and materials are good. It's limited in reality because the bike isn't intended to be battered, but it'll muscle through. :)
I keep reading how Ducati have improved their act in recent years. I also keep reading about problems owners have with modern Ducatis. It may well be that because of its simplicity, the Scrambler will be the most reliable Ducati yet, and although the model being made in Thailand doesn't affect the materials and hopefully the factory, Ducati will have to make sure that their newfound improved image transfers to their plant in Thailand. There's no reason why this shouldn't happen. You only need to look at the Japanese cars and pickups manufactured there that perform faultlessly (ditto Honda and Kawasaki motorcycles) to realise that it's possible for Ducati to maufacture reliable bikes there. I'm just concerned, that's all, because if I could be convinced about these bikes, I'd buy one (I'll be living in the far north of Thailand from early next year).
1990 New Triumphs are also built in Thailand and I can confirm, the quality is spot on. It’s way improved over past generations. So yeah, if anything, these new Ducati should be more reliable.

Here again 2 years later, 2024 and still rocking my Urban Enduro 🏁⚡💯✊🏼

A good, honest review. I would have liked to see a longer review with more riding through hill terrain.
I loved the review and the creator, but it's also the funniest thing i have ever seen , you are a natural comedian,
You can turn the ABS off...
That's a badass jacket.
thanks for taking it off road, I am tired of video where they go on a dirt road and call that off roading!
Brake Magazine.. Some of the best MC reviews online. :) Now lets also see a review of the Africa Twin.
Is this urban motard?
Enjoyable review, cheers from Italy
I keep coming to this video year after year

Great review, I've had one since March and I couldn't of put it better myself. Top FUN bike.
You would recommend one then?
Thank you for the talk show. It would be great if we can see more shots on off-road riding.
I love this bike and fell in love with it in 2015. I need to have one.....and this presented content has just convinced me to do so. Thanks Brake Mag
Jacket model?

U2 karaoke ?? Ugh. Otherwise, a fine vid.

was the reviewer a journalist from superbike magazine?
What the music is in video?
What's the Shark helmet designated model? Thanks
It is the Explore-R. :)
With or without youuuu

9.8/10.
A superbike literally could have done those same dirt roads in those shots...come on - show us some sweet jumps lol.
That's one sexy bike
You can turn the abs off ,,,!! I’ve got one and I turn it off .,
You can definitely turn the abs off
1:45 Is this a new way of promoting stuff?
+νικος γιώργος We wish it was! Maybe that's something we should be charging for!
+Brake Magazine I think you should, otherwise focus on a tree or something...
Cool review. And I like your slides! I invite you to see my comments on preulings channel.
