Ducati hasn't confirmed if this concept will go into production

Ispiration for the CR241 is drawn from the 1970’s Ducati 750SS and follows its cafe racer-like design. It features a bikini fairing, a set of clip on handlebars, bar-end mirrors and a flat seat to complete the look.

The pillion seat has a removable cowl and Ducati has even thrown in a Termignoni exhaust for added flare on this retro-themed Scrambler. Ducati has replaced the 18-inch wheels in favour of a sportier looking 17-inch setup wrapped in road-oriented tyres.

This isn’t the first time Ducati has made a Cafe Racer-inspired version of the Scrambler with the first featuring back in 2017. This new concept is powered by the same 803cc L-twin that powers the Scrambler range. In the Ducati Scrambler, for reference, the unit produces 72hp and 65Nm, which lugs around the 185kg (kerb weight) bike. Currently, there is no update on if and when this concept will see production, but the prototype we see here seems rather promising.
