Introducing the new 2026 Ducati Scrambler Nightshift…
Timeless sounds all night – emerald green
Scrambler Nightshift now shines in Emerald Green with the sharpest look in the city. Discover the elegance and sophistication of the new livery.
The new livery draws inspiration from the icons of 1970s motorsport, making the Ducati Scrambler Nightshift even more evocative and cool.
With the 2026 model year, the Ducati Scrambler Nightshift becomes even more appealing with its new Emerald Green livery. Defined by the Ducati Style Centre, the new color scheme draws inspiration from the two- and four-wheeled icons of the 1970s.
Since its inception, Nightshift has represented the most elegant and classic soul of the Ducati Scrambler, thanks to refined details such as the stitched seat, in true Café Racer style, or the alternation of glossy and matte parts. At the same time, the side number plates, minimal front mudguard, absence of a rear mudguard, and compact LED indicators emphasize its dynamic character.
The contrast with the completely black spoked wheels makes the Nightshift decidedly sophisticated. A flat, variable-section handlebar and bar-end mirrors complete the Café Racer look.
