The Ducati Scrambler Icon combines the best of two worlds: California, because it was first launched in the United States in 1962, and then, of course, Italy, where it was designed. We rode it in Spain. Not so bad either. If you want to fall in love, go for it!

One hundred years ago, the world got its first BMW-badged motorcycle: the R32, the company’s first production motorcycle with a boxer engine. A perfect occasion to reflect on the past and look ahead to the future. On this journey, one thing becomes clear: to be authentically cool, you just have to do your own thing.

Performance, character and style. Ducati’s design philosophy can be seen in every detail, no matter how small. Aside from cutting-edge technology, however, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer would much rather sell good moments. At the launch event for the new Diavel V4, Ducati Centro Stile Director Andrea Ferraresi told us how. He also explained why, of all things, the design of a new key has been giving him something of a headache.

Faith has always brought forth special places. Ever since the divine spark slipped out of the machine with Deus Ex Machina, it has also worked with coolness. Around the world in five locations from Sydney to L.A.

With the revival of the Scrambler a few years back, Ducati returned to the essence of motorcycling enthusiasm with a wonderfully authentic two-wheel machine in several variants, all of which ooze pure sportiness and fun. We wanted to know more, so we traveled even further back in time – with a test ride on the oval sand track.
