Gallery: Here Are Even More Photos of the 2017 Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled

After weeks of teasing, Ducati has finally pulled the wraps off of its all-new Scrambler Desert Sled, a bike it refers to as "the second new Scrambler."

Complete with longer-travel suspension (7.9 inches), new swingarm, and spoked wheels wrapped in Scorpion Rally STR tires (19-inch front/ 17-inch rear), this is the bike Ducati suggests you can actually have a little fun with off-road.

I was lucky enough to spend a few minutes on one in a private photo shoot for the Desert Sled a few weeks back, but it wasn't enough time to fully get my fix, and I still haven't been able to kick the itch I've had since. These photos aren't helping either. They're from a separate shoot that Ducati did with FMX legend Drake McElroy, and I think give you a good idea how much fun the Desert Sled can be when you get it in the right element (bonus: some studio photos at the end).
