2021 Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse First Look

March 11, 2021

In celebration of the Fasthouse-sponsored Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled winning the Hooligan Class at the 2020 Mint 400, Ducati has created the 2021 Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse limited-edition motorcycle. Although it doesn’t have all the trick racing components and modifications used in the Mint 400, the Desert Sled Fasthouse sports livery replicates the race-winning Ducati ridden by Jordan Graham.

The Desert Sled Fasthouse gets a blacked-out look, with the trellis frame painted Ducati Red. The tank receives the Fasthouse logo, along with gray stripes set against black.

If you’re not up to purchasing a new Desert Sled Fasthouse, Ducati and Fasthouse have collaborated on a concise apparel collection—jacket, long-sleeved shirt, short-sleeved shirt, and cap—to match the motorcycle, which is limited to 800 numbered examples.

The MSRP of this limited-edition Scrambler is $12,295, just $300 more than the standard Desert Sled, which is updated for 2021. The apparel will be available in April, with the Fasthouse motorcycle arriving exclusively at dealers in the United States and Canada in May.

We have tested the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled.
