Using the Wheels and Waves event in Biarritz, France
as a backdrop, Ducati unveiled two new versions of the Scrambler Ducati – the
Mach 2.0 and the Full Throttle with new graphics, during the weekend of June 14
to 18. Graphics for these lifestyle machines are by renowned American designer
Roland Sands, who has had a hand in creating custom versions of the Ducati
Panigale 1299 S and X Diavel.
The Mach 2.0 takes its name from the 1965 Ducati
Mach 1 250, a version of the Scrambler 250 of the same era. The Mach 2.0 comes
with low-slung, tapered aluminium handlebars, and features a dedicated Flat
Track Pro seat, black exhaust and cylinder head covers, plus cafe racer-style
brushed cooling fins.
As for the Full Throttle, in 2017 it comes with a
new “Shining Black” tank and front mudguard. This is combined with a new fuel
tank side-panel featuring a distinctive black chequerboard pattern on yellow
stripes.
Both retro-styled machines arrived at Biarritz after
leaving Ducati’s headquarters in Borgo Panigale, Italy on June 12, travelling
together with a Volkswagen California Ocean and a Volkswagen Amarok. The Amarok
was converted into a mobile radio station broadcasting the Radio Ducati
Scrambler live podcast.
