Ducati Redline: the collection of trolleys and sports bags for travel and leisure

Ducati offers enthusiasts the Redline collection of trolleys and sports bags, created in collaboration with the American brand Ogio, which gives all Ducatisti the opportunity to take their passion for Ducati with them when travelling and in their free time.

Attention to quality and guaranteed cutting-edge solutions are the traits that unite Ducati and Ogio, who have worked together to create this collection made up of practical and innovative elements. The collection consists of two trolleys, three knapsacks, a bag and an organizing tool pack, suitable both for use while riding and for carrying sports equipment.

All the elements of the Redline collection are made of long-lasting polyester to ensure maximum resistance and are aesthetically customized, both externally and internally, with the colours and graphics that characterize the Ducati brand. The technical solutions introduced in the articles respond to precise functional needs, such as the efficient subdivision of interior partitions, padding and waterproofing.

The collection offers two trolleys to travel in full Ducati style: the Redline T1 is specially designed to contain all the necessary equipment for every motorcyclist, while the Redline T2, the size of a cabin bag, is designed for short trips. The Redline D1 bag, on the other hand, is equipped with multifunctional handles, which allow it to be used both as a backpack and as a gym bag.

The collection is completed by the Redline B1, Redline B2 and Redline B3 knapsacks, which offer the highest level of comfort in the various areas of use. The Redline B1 is a preformed technical knapsack with an aerodynamic shape that adapts to the body and will not be deformed by the wind, making it ideal for accompanying sports riders in road performance. A useful accessory for both motorcycle and leisure use is the Redline B2, equipped with adjustable shoulder straps with closure at the sternum, back panel with ventilated insert and waterproof cover. The Redline B3 is organized to carry many items safely, thanks to its multi-pocket design. Finally, for shorter trips, the Redline P1 organizing tool pack is available, capable of containing both personal and mechanical accessories.

The Ducati Redline collection in collaboration with Ogio and the entire Ducati 2021 Apparel collection are available and can be purchased at dealers in the Ducati network.

Desert Sled Fasthouse: a limited and numbered edition of Ducati Scrambler to celebrate victory in the Mint 400

Scrambler Ducati presents the limited and numbered edition Desert Sled Fasthouse model: a motorcycle created to celebrate the collaboration between Ducati Scrambler and the American clothing brand Fasthouse, which in 2020 took the rider Jordan Graham to victory in the Hooligan class of the Mint 400, the oldest and most prestigious off-road race in America.

The new Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse was presented by Jason Chinnock (CEO Ducati North America) and Kenny Alexander (founder and president of Fasthouse) in a video shot inside the Fasthouse headquarters in California (link to the video here). The model will be available in dealerships from the end of March in a limited and numbered series of 800 units.

Made starting from the base of the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, the Fasthouse model is distinguished by its special livery, which replicates the graphics used by the bikes that took part in the Mint 400. The main colours are black and grey, which combine in a geometric design on the tank, on which the Fasthouse logo is inserted alongside the Ducati Scrambler one. The frame is in Ducati Red and is embellished with an aluminium plate bearing the number of the bike within the limited series, making each one of the 800 units to be produced unique, while the front and rear mudguards are black.

The Ducati Scrambler Fasthouse is powered by the 803 cc engine and is equipped with all the characteristic elements of the Ducati “Land of Joy” Desert Sled models. The swingarm, the triple clamps and the bespoke suspension make this model perfect for those who want to experience great adventures on off-road trails, just like those of the Nevada desert that each year are the scene for the Mint 400. The inclination to the off-road universe is underlined by the chassis, specifically designed to cope with the stresses of off-road use, as well as by the presence of a homologated grille for the front headlight, high mudguards and the skid plate.

The riding position is customized, thanks to the saddle with non-slip coating that keeps the seat height at 860 mm, the adjustable Kayaba suspension with 200 mm of travel and the off-road inspired foot pegs with removable rubber pads. The black spoked wheels measure 19” at the front and 17” at the rear and are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion™ Rally STR tyres in sizes 120/70 R 19 M/C 60V M+S TL front and 170/60 R 17 M/C 72V M+S TL rear. The Scorpion™ Rally STR combine the best performance of an off-road tyre with that of an enduro street tyre.

The collaboration between the “Land of Joy” and Fasthouse in this special project also includes the launch of a capsule collection of apparel, created specifically for the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse. The collection consists of 4 elements: short-sleeved t-shirt, long-sleeved t-shirt, jacket and cap, all made with high-quality fabrics, which will be available for purchase from the end of April on Fasthouse's sales channels, in Ducati network dealers and on the Ducati Online Shop.

Further information and details on Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse and the capsule collection are available on the scramblerducati.com website.
