To mark the new model year, the 2026 Ducati Scrambler Nightshift will come in Emerald Green, harking back to the 1970s, and complimented by black spoked wheels.
Introduced in 2021, the Nightshift sits alongside the Icon, Icon Dark, full Throttle and 1100 Sport Pro in the Scrambler range, priced from £11,945 as a more elegant and stylish two-seater alternative to the £9,495 Icon Dark. For that price, you get features including the stitched seat, a mix of gloss and matt parts, and more.
The latest version of the 803cc L-Twin Desmodue engine now comes with an eight-plate clutch, which also allows for a smaller cover. Plus the bike as a whole is now 4kg lighter, and features Ride by Wire throttle managment, with two rider modes, Ducati Traction Control and ABS cornering as part of the standard equipment.
Seat height is 795mm (31.3 inches), which a high seat taking it to 810mm (31.9 inches), or a low seat accessory offering 780mm (30.7 inches), and fuel capacity is 14.5 litres, with all the info for riding shown on a 4.3″ TFT colour display.
You also get a shorter front mudguard, flat handlebars, a LED indicators, side number plates, and a USB socket under the seat.
The switch to Emerald Green replaces the current 2025 Nebula Blue, and is the only colour option for the Nightshift, making it easy to tell the year of a model. Personally, I prefer it to the previous colour, which looked quite dull in low light, meaning someone could think you were riding the budget Icon Dark option, and didn’t really stand out even in bright sunshine. The green instantly looks classier in my opinion, although obviously everyone has their own preference.
