What’s new and why it matters

• Modern rider aids: Cornering ABS, adjustable traction control, and ride modes increase safety and confidence—especially in the wet—while keeping the Scrambler’s playful character.

How it rides

The 803 cc Desmodue delivers an easy, linear shove with a friendly mid‑range—ideal for urban hops and backroad sweeps. Ride‑by‑wire smooths low‑speed throttle response, and the optional quickshifter adds a racy edge on spirited rides. Suspension is road‑focused: a compliant 41 mm USD fork up front and a preload‑adjustable shock out back keep things composed over rough city streets. The wide handlebar, manageable weight, and neutral geometry make the Icon approachable for newer riders yet engaging for experienced hands. Braking power is strong and progressive, with the reassurance of cornering ABS when surfaces or conditions change.

Who is it for?

• Newer riders wanting a premium, confidence‑inspiring first “big bike” (A2‑restricted versions offered in many markets)
• Style-focused commuters who value maneuverability and low running effort
• Weekend backroad riders who favor feel and character over outright speed
• Tinkerers who love customizable aesthetics and bolt‑on personalization
