Scrambler® amazes with two concepts at the Bike Shed MotoShow in London

Scrambler® Ducati presents itself at the 2024 London Bike Shed MotoShow with two bold and innovative concepts. Two proposals from the Centro Stile Ducati, created on the technical base of the second-generation Scrambler®, which demonstrate how fundamental the world of customization, characterized by creativity and free expression, is for the post-heritage Ducati world.  

Its line is inspired by the bikes that made the legend of British venues in the 60s, where enthusiasts challenged each other to complete a lap of the block in the time of a record played on the jukebox.

The project, which was created entirely within the Centro Stile Ducati, underlines the versatility of the Scrambler® mechanical base, which in this interpretation is characterized by the 17" front rim with road tires and by the sporting clip-on handlebars with bar-end mirrors. The tank-mounted fairing, narrow and wrap-around, recalls icons of Ducati history such as the Pantah and the 750 SS, reinterpreted to obtain that contemporary and post-heritage look that has always been an asset of the Scrambler® brand.

The saddle turns into a single seater thanks to the detachable cover of the section reserved for the passenger which recalls the classic ‘panettone’ saddles of 70s sports bikes. The coloring completes a concept that strikes a chord with enthusiasts most linked to the iconography of the British rockers of the 1960s. 

Minimalist and functional in every detail, this Scrambler® contrasts with the clean and harmonious lines of the CR24I concept. The RR24I immediately brings the enthusiast back to the original size of the motorcycle: two wheels, a tank, an engine and handlebars. Nothing superfluous compared to the purest emotions of riding, to fully experience that sense of freedom that has always been fundamental in the Scrambler® concept.

All the aluminum parts are highlighted, the technical and functional details are left exposed to give authenticity to a concept that focuses entirely on materials that are distinctive to the eye and touch. The tank is stripped of its covers, replaced by a frame to attach a tank bag for the essentials, be it a change of clothes or tools to stop at nothing. The part of the seat reserved for the passenger is removable to create a luggage rack, another detail that underlines the adventurous and essential spirit of the concept.

At the rear, the case on the left side recalls the upcycling operations of empty jerry cans, and the high-passage Termignoni exhaust accentuates the tracker look of this concept, completed by Pirelli Scorpion Rally tires on 18" and 17" rims respectively at the front and the rear which, combined with the high and short front mudguard, promise to be able to tackle any terrain.

Both concepts will be on display to the public throughout the opening of the London Bike Shed MotoShow, which takes place from 24 to 26 May. Established in 2013 as a celebration of special culture, within a decade the Bike Shed MotoShow has become one of the most important events on the international scene.

The 2023 edition was one of the most successful events dedicated to custom, with over 17,000 visitors and more than 300 unique examples from all over the world.

Images of the two CR24I and RR24I concepts are available on the Scrambler® website and social media channels. Further images of the bikes can be downloaded from Ducati Media House.
