Overview
The Ducati Scrambler Icon price Philippines is ₱785,000, making it the most accessible Ducati motorcycle in the Philippine market and the gateway to Italian motorcycle ownership. The 803cc Desmodue L-twin engine produces 73 hp and 66 Nm of torque with the signature Ducati exhaust character that makes every ride feel special on NLEX, SLEX, and Skyway. Fuel efficiency averages 21 km/L on expressway cruising, keeping running costs reasonable for a European premium motorcycle. At just 189 kg kerb weight, the Scrambler Icon is remarkably light for an 800cc machine, making it nimble through toll plaza queues and easy to maneuver at rest stops. The upright scrambler riding position with wide handlebars provides all-day comfort that most sport bikes and cafe racers cannot match. With ABS and traction control standard, the Scrambler Icon combines Italian style and Ducati prestige with genuine everyday usability for Philippine expressway riders.
Expressway Driving Review
The Ducati Scrambler Icon brings undeniable Italian character to Philippine expressway riding, with the 803cc L-twin producing a distinctive exhaust note that turns heads at every toll plaza on NLEX and SLEX. The engine delivers smooth, torquey power from low RPMs — 66 Nm peaks at just 5,750 rpm, meaning relaxed expressway cruising at 100 kph requires minimal effort in sixth gear. The 73 hp output is adequate for confident highway cruising and competent overtaking, though passing requires slightly more commitment compared to 100+ hp naked bikes. The upright scrambler riding position with wide flat handlebars is notably comfortable, reducing wrist and back fatigue on rides up to 2 hours — a significant advantage over sport-oriented alternatives. ABS and traction control provide a reliable safety net on wet expressways during Philippine monsoon season, particularly important given the Scrambler's road-biased tires. Both Autosweep and Easytrip RFID tags can be mounted on the round headlight bracket or front fender. The 13.5L fuel tank provides approximately 284 km range at 21 km/L, sufficient for daily expressway commutes but requiring a fuel stop for longer TPLEX runs to Baguio. Real-world expressway fuel economy sits at 20-22 km/L at a steady 100 kph.
