The class, announced by Ducati North America CEO Jason Chinnock who was present with is personal customized Scrambler Ducati Desert Sled, was designed to “recognize Scramblers built to have fun no matter the terrain, expressing the owner’s personality without ever taking itself too seriously.”

Claiming the award was Tom Zipprian, who received the trophy for his one-of-a-kind 2015 Scrambler Icon.

“With design cues including a sleek seat and custom-painted tank evoking a subdued orange and yellow color palette, the Scrambler Icon was a hit among spectators,” Ducati says.

Demo rides were had by riders of all skill levels on the beautiful roads around the Carmel Valley.
