2018 DUCATI SCRAMBLER 1100 FIRST TEST P90 (Above) Turn-in is easy on the new Scrambler, and the suspension maintained composure in the corners. (Below) The new LCD display shows speed, odo, trip, ride mode and DTC selected. While the 800 and 400 models were well suited to the newer and shorter rider, they left taller and more experienced riders wanting more: more room for longer limbs and tor- sos, more power for heavier riders, higher speeds and longer freeway stints. Ducati's answer? The Scram- bler 1100. The biggest addition to the Scram- bler lineup combines all the charm and simple joys of a standard Scram- bler, and enlarges the whole package by about 15 percent, with a newly designed chassis, longer swingarm, larger saddle and increased power. They even added new tech features to keep the advanced riders happy (and safe). So how does the new bike com- pare? We flew to Portugal to find out.
