A Fresh Chapter for the Nightshift
When Ducati does a color update, it’s never just about paint—it’s about character. The 2026 Scrambler Nightshift in Emerald Green is proof of that. Borrowing cues from racing icons of the 1970s, this livery brings a blend of heritage charm and modern sophistication. It’s stylish, but not over the top, making it equally at home parked outside a café or leaned over on a twisty road.
Design – Retro Meets Minimalism
The Nightshift carries forward its unmistakable Café Racer DNA, but this time with more flair.
- Stitched seat for that premium retro vibe.
- Minimal front mudguard and side number plates for a raw, stripped-back feel.
- No rear mudguard, keeping the profile clean and sporty.
- Flat handlebar with bar-end mirrors that nail the Café Racer stance.
- Black spoked wheels contrast beautifully with the Emerald Green bodywork.
The overall result? A bike that feels custom right out of the factory.
Performance – Lighter, Smoother, Friendlier
Underneath the new skin, Ducati has worked on refining the riding experience.
- The Desmodue engine remains the heart, now tuned for smoother performance.
- A new eight-plate clutch reduces effort and frees up space around the footpeg area.
- 4 kg lighter overall, making the Nightshift more agile in the city and on open roads.
It’s not about chasing crazy numbers—it’s about giving riders accessible fun every single day.
Technology & Safety
Ducati hasn’t forgotten the practical side of things. The Nightshift comes equipped with modern rider aids that keep thrills in check.
- Ride by Wire system allows different ride modes to suit conditions.
- Ducati Traction Control (DTC) prevents unwanted wheel spin.
- Cornering ABS ensures safe braking, even when leaned into bends.
- LED DRLs and indicators sharpen visibility while adding a contemporary touch.
These features make it as safe as it is stylish, giving confidence to both new and seasoned riders.
Personalization – Make It Yours
One of the biggest appeals of the Scrambler line is customization. Ducati makes it easy with its configurator—
- Browse accessories, colors, and custom touches.
- Book test rides online at dealerships.
- Shape the Nightshift into something that matches your own riding persona.
It’s a Ducati that feels like your Ducati.
