On the performance side, it delivers 55 kW @ 8250 rpm of peak power and 68 Nm @ 5750 rpm of torque. On the road, the 2016 Scrambler Icon tips the scales at 186 kg, carries a 13.5-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 790 mm and spans a 1455 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 21.5 kg lighter than the average all-round motorcycle in our database. The full 2016 Ducati Scrambler Icon spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2016 Scrambler Icon - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: With 55 kW @ 8250 rpm and 68 Nm @ 5750 rpm of torque on tap, the Scrambler Icon is no slouch for its class.
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.

Considerations

Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Heat management in traffic

Because the Scrambler Icon relies on airflow rather than a coolant jacket, expect noticeably more radiant heat at low speed and in traffic. It's inherent to air cooling, and ventilated gear largely offsets it.

Fuelling & injector care

The fuel injection on the Scrambler Icon needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from Single 330 mm disc, 4-piston caliper with ABS as standard equipment - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The Scrambler Icon's suspension runs Upside down Kayaba 41 mm fork at the front. The rear uses Kayaba rear shock, pre-load adjustable. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The Scrambler Icon uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.

Frame & chassis check

Built around a Tubular steel trellis frame, the Scrambler Icon's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.

Scrambler Icon - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2016 Ducati Scrambler Icon, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Scrambler Icon should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a Scrambler Icon's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the Scrambler Icon needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
