NIGHTSHIFT IN EMERALD GREEN

Ducati has announced updates to its Scrambler Nightshift model for the 2026 model year, introducing a new Emerald Green livery inspired by classic two- and four-wheeled designs of the 1970s.
The colour scheme, developed by the Ducati Style Centre, replaces the current finish and is intended to highlight the Nightshift’ s retro-influenced styling. First introduced as part of the Scrambler line, the Nightshift has positioned itself as the more classic and elegant variant in the range, with details such as a stitched café racer-style seat, compact LED indicators, and minimalist bodywork. Black spoked wheels, bar-end mirrors, and a flat handlebar complete the bike’ s distinctive look.
Beyond cosmetic changes, Ducati has carried over recent mechanical and electronic upgrades to the Scrambler platform. The model features the air-cooled Desmodue engine with a modernized eight-plate clutch. Ducati says the new clutch design offers smoother operation, is more compact, and provides additional space for the rider’ s foot. Weight reduction of around 4 kg has also been achieved compared to the previous generation.
Electronics include ride-by-wire throttle control, two selectable riding modes, Ducati Traction Control, and cornering ABS as standard. The company states these additions improve both performance and safety while maintaining the Scrambler’ s accessibility for everyday use. The 2026 Scrambler Nightshift in Emerald Green will be available from October 2025. Ducati is yet to announce pricing details.
