Technical Overview
2015 Ducati Scrambler Deus Ex Machina Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Ducati's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Ducati Scrambler Deus Ex Machina utilizes a 803 cc (49 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 73.8 HP (53.8 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 68 Nm (50.2 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 91.9 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Scrambler Deus Ex Machina measures 178 kg (392 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.41 HP/kg (2.41 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
