Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders with at least intermediate experience, particularly those comfortable handling a tall, torque-driven V-twin on loose or uneven surfaces. |
| Purpose | Designed as a stylish, capable scrambler for mixed on- and off-road riding rather than outright speed or long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | The tall 840mm+ seat height and 209kg wet weight demand a reasonably fit rider with good leg length and confidence maneuvering the bike off-road. |
| Character | A characterful, air-cooled Ducati V-twin scrambler with a limited-edition Fasthouse livery, blending retro-off-road looks with desmodromic engine charm. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for shorter riders, pure highway commuters seeking top-end speed, or anyone wanting a plush, long-distance touring machine. |
