Each motorcycle has a unique styling to stand apart. The Full Throttle is inspired by the flat track Scrambler. It features two-tone black-yellow white-striped tank, all-new rear end with dedicated seat and white-rimmed yellow number holders. Other styling cues include a low-slung tapered handlebar, stubby front mudguard and dual-silencer exhaust.

The Café Racer, with its renewed livery, draws its inspiration from the Ducati 125GP Desmo. This variant gets Silver Ice Matt graphics with a blue frame. Adding to the retro looks of the motorcycle are the 17" spoked wheels and aluminium bar-end mirrors. Braking performance is improved with a modern radial front brake pump that is claimed to offer performance on a par with that of a sport bike. Other features include exhaust with dual tailpipes, nose fairing, lateral number holders (with the number 54 in honour of Bruno Spiaggiari) and stubby mudguard.

The off-road-focused Scrambler Desert Sled comes equipped with a red frame, new seat with colour-coordinated stitching and spoked wheels with black rims. The motorcycle also gets an Off Road Riding Mode that allows ABS disengagement. The Desert Sled features adjustable Kayaba suspension, type-approved headlight mesh guard, high mudguards (specially designed for this version) and engine skidpan.

Standard features across the new range include all-new headlight with LED DRL, auto-off LED indicators, beefier side panels, black-painted engine and brushed cylinder head fins. The instrument console is a LCD unit that gets Ducati Multimedia System. The Multimedia System lets riders listen to playlists, answer incoming calls or chat with the passenger on the intercom.
