BikeWale's Take

The Scrambler Desert Sled from Ducati is one fantastic motorcycle that is known for its good road capabilities and fantastic off-road abilities. It is one of those bikes that can be termed as an all-rounder. But being a Ducati, it doesn’t offer value for money experience due to its pricing. Plus, the service reach is extremely limited.
