A catalyst in the exhaust system helps the Scrambler family meet Euro 4 emissions standards with cooling fins to radiate the waste heat away from the air-cooled engine. Induction management falls to the 50 mm throttle body, electronic ignition system and the skills in your right wrist alone since it runs without traction control or any other fandanglery to complicate the works. The barrels measure out at 88 mm with a 66 mm stroke and an 11-to-1 compression ratio. At 8,250 rpm, the mill grinds out a total of 75 horsepower, but the 50 pound-feet of torque maxes out 500 turns earlier at 7,750 rpm and it comes on with a linear delivery that is meant to be user-friendly, even to the relatively inexperienced. It provides a positive means of closure without the oh-so-common springs that are vulnerable to the harmonic float that can lead to valve-to-piston contact in a non-free-running engine, so rev away without fear. It uses a push-open cam for each valve, nothing special there, but the pull-closed cam makes this into a different animal entirely. Ducati's L-twin, really a 90-degree V-twin, uses Duc's famous Desmodromic valvetrain to time the two poppets in each head. Cast, 10-spoke wheels mount the Pirelli MT 60 RS hoops with a 110/80-18 and 180/55-17 on the front and rear, respectively.Īs cool as the rest of the bike is, it's really just a setting for the gem that is the powerplant. At 410-pounds soaking wet, the Icon doesn't have an excess of energy to deal with so the single disc up front is adequate, especially with ABS oversight to keep you from locking up at either end. A single 330 mm disc and four-piston caliper hauls down the front wheel with authority while a 245 mm disc and single-pot caliper handles the rear. Out back, the offset, coil-over Kayaba monoshock tames the swingarm with adjustable preload and rebound damping features for a bit more ride-quality control than is afforded by the usual vanilla components. Gotta' keep the price down somehow, right?

Yeah, it's fun and sporty looking, but at the end of the day it's still considered an entry-level commuter bike, or even a second bike-toy for folks who use another more appropriate machine for the daily grind, so it's no surprise that the beefy, 41 mm usd forks run sans adjustments.
