After more than nine months since its global launch, the Ducati Scrambler Nightshift finally lands in Malaysia.

The Nightshift looks like a combination of the Icon, Full Throttle, and Café Racer rolled into one midnight-themed machine, and it is indeed a badass machine at first sight.

Finished in the new Aviator Grey colour scheme, the Nightshift certainly has the boldest look among the rest of its family.

According to Ducati, not only the rider will enjoy riding on a cool-looking Scrambler, but the pillion will also appreciate the comfort from its new Café Racer-style flat seat.

Other details include a wide handlebar taken straight from the 1100 Sport Pro, premium LED lighting system, spoke wheels with Pirelli MT60 tyres, and side number plates.

Firepower remains the same as the rest of the Scrambler 800 line-up in the form of the 803cc L-twin engine with 73hp and 66.2Nm torque (now Euro5-compliant).

The new Ducati Scrambler Nightshift is available for RM65,900 and bookings can be made at every Ducati dealership nationwide.

Ducati Malaysia akhirnya melancarkan Scrambler Nightshift, beberapa bulan selepas model itu diperkenalkan secara global pada November tahun lalu.

Ducati Scrambler Nightshift merupakan di antara empat model Scrambler lain yang turut didedahkan menerusi Ducati Web Series.

Bagaimanapun, varian Nightshift paling mencuri tumpuan tatkala pereka di Borgo Panigale seakan menggabungkan semua elemen dari Icon, Full Throttle dan Cafe Racer .

Hasilnya, sebuah motosikal yang bukan sahaja tampak jahat malah kemas hasil daripada pilihan warna Aviator Grey yang pastinya menganjakan meter ‘hensem’ si penunggang.

Tempat duduk pillion juga yakni lebih selesa dengan permukaan yang rata.

Menurut Ducati, penggunaan handlebar yang lebih lebar ini juga dipinjamkan daripada Scrambler 110 Sport Pro di samping penggunaan lampu LED, rim spoke dan tayar Pirelli MT60.

Meskpun model ini masih lagi didatangkan dengan enjin sama seperti barisan Scrambler 800 lain, 803cc L-Twin yang menawarkan 73hp dan 66.2Nm namun telah dikemaskini bagi mematuhi piawain Euro 5.

Menurut Ducati Malaysia, Scrambler Nightshift ini boleh dimiliki dengan harga RM65,900.

Ducati bakal membuka tirai 2021 dengan empat lagi model dibawah payung Scrambler.

Berdasarkan pelancaran menerusi Ducati World Premier 2020 secara web-series, empat model baharu Scrambler telah diperkenalkan; Ducati Scrambler Nightshift, Desert Sled Sparkling Blue, Icon Ducati Red dan 1100 Dark PRO.

Bagaimanapun, Scrambler Nightshift paling mencuri tumpuan tatkala pereka di Borgo Panigale seakan mengambil resepi dari Icon, Full Throttle dan Cafe Racer dan kemudian menggaul kesemuanya ke dalam satu kuali.

Hasilnya, sebuah motosikal yang bukan sahaja tampak jahat malah kemas hasil daripada pilihan warna Aviator Grey yang pastinya menganjakan meter ‘hensem’ si penunggang.

Ducati turut melaksanakan kemas kini terhadap Scrambler Desert Sled yang kini tampil dengan warna ‘Sparkling Blue’ di samping penggunaan rim spoke keemasan.

Fork depan juga telah dipertingkat dengan 200mm travel, dan tempat duduk baharu dengan lining anti-gelincir sekaligus menjaminkan tunggangan off-road yang lebih selesa dan terkawal.

*Ducati Scrambler 1100 Dark Pro

Kemudian, Ducati perkenalkan 1100 Dark PRO, seperti namanya, model ini mendapat sentuhan warna serba hitam dengan gabungan hitam matte dan anodized aluminium.

Ducati sememangnya antara motosikal yang menawarkan rekaan paling mencuri tumpuan maka tidak terkejut jika jenama itu menjadi inspirasi pengeluar motosikal lain di dunia.

Bagaimanapun, ada juga yang mencari jalan mudah dengan menyalin bulat-bulat rekaan motosikal Itali itu.

*Lifan Hunter 125

Lifan, jenama motosikal di China telah memperkenalkan Hunter 125 pada 2017.

Menariknya, rupa keseluruhan jentera ini tampak seperti Ducati Scrambler Icon 800.

Selain daripada rupa keseluruhan, penggunaan lampu bulat, paparan meter termasuk tempat gantung nombor plat dan fork USD juga menyamai Ducati Scrambler.

*Lifan Hunter 125

Bagaimanapun, berbanding enjin 800cc yang terdapat pada Scrambler, Hunter 125 didatangkan dengan enjin 125cc satu silinder dengan penyejukkan udara.

*Lifan Hunter 125

Ketika ini, Lifan Hunter 125 didapati di pasaran Thailand dengan harga serendah THB54,000 (RM7,167).

Walaupun Hunter 125 merupakan salinan Ducati Scrambler namun jelas tindakan Lifan itu berniat menarik pembeli yang berminat dengan rekaan neo-cafe racer namun dengan harga lebih mampu milik.

One might think that this is the very beautiful Italian Ducati Scrambler Icon at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it doesn’t take much to tell you that it is definitely isn’t. Meet the Lifan Hunter 125, a 125cc naked bike hailing from the country of…you guessed it…China, baby! (more…)
