Ducati unveiled the fresh new look for the Scrambler Nightshift in the Emerald Green colour scheme and introduced a few technical upgrades to keep the bike fresh and up-to-date. The new update is for the 2026 model year and will be available globally by the end of this year, replacing the existing Nebula Blue variant.
The new colour scheme is also accompanied by a few cosmetic changes to match the aesthetics of 1970s Cafe racer culture and the racing green incorporated by Italian privateer racing teams. The Ducati Scrambler Nightshift gets a stitched cafe racer-style seat, flat handlebars with bar-end mirrors, and the bodywork is painted with a classy mix of glossy and matt finishes. And to top it off, the black spoked wheels further sharpen the contrast to the Emerald Green bodywork. Minimal mudguards and compact LED indicators finish off the look perfectly.
Beyond Visual enhancements, the Nightshift comes with a few new technical tricks up its sleeves, such as the compact 8 eight-plate clutch, which now comes standard across the whole Scarmbler range – the compact design cleverly reduces the lateral bulk around the footpegs, creating more room for the footplace. And Ducati put the Scrambler on a rigorous diet and reduced the weight by 4kg across the frame – making it lighter and more agile than the previous iterations of the model.
An Improved ride-by-wire technology, which now perfectly integrates with smart Ducati’s traction Control for better response and grip under heavy acceleration. Combined with a standardised Cornering ABS now offers increased safety when braking under lean.
The Ducati Scrambler Nighshift gets Ducati’s 800cc air-cooled twin cylinder Desmodue engine, which produces 73 hp at 8,250 rpm and 65.2 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. These figures are capable of propelling the Scrambler from 0 -60 mph in 4.7 seconds and all the way to 123mph top speed. Radial-mount 4-piston calliper made by Brembo, paired with a 330 mm disc at the front and a single-piston Brembo floating calliper with a 245 mm disc at the rear, are appointed for performing the braking duties.
The deliveries of the special edition Ducati Scrambler Nighshift Emerald Green 2026 model year are expected to commence across the globe by mid-October 2025.
