2022 Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Ducati for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2022 Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark pairs a 803 cc (49 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 73 HP (53.3 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 66.2 Nm (48.8 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 90.9 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 Icon Dark measures 189 kg (417 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.39 HP/kg (2.59 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 798 mm (31.4 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 paired with a rated consumption of 5.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 260 km (162 miles) between fill-ups.
