As the “Motard” part of its name implies, the Urban Motard rolls on 17-inch spoked wheels shod with sticky Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires, and it has a high front fender, a flat seat, and side number plates.

As with other Ducati Scrambler models, the Urban Motard has a front LED DRL headlight and an LED taillight. The entire Scrambler 800 range comes standard with cornering ABS, a USB socket under the seat, and the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), which enables a smartphone to be connected to the bike via Bluetooth.
