Ducati has shown off its updated Scrambler Nightshift motorcycle for the 2026 model year, with a striking new color called Emerald Green. This green shade, inspired by the cool racing bikes and cars from the 1970s, replaces the old Nebula Blue option. It gives the bike a classy, old-school vibe that stands out in the city. The new look will hit dealerships starting this October 2025, and buyers in the US can expect it early next year at around $13,395. In places like India, it should arrive in the second quarter of 2026.
The Nightshift has always been the most stylish and relaxed bike in Ducati’s Scrambler lineup. It features a stitched seat like those on classic cafe racer bikes, a mix of shiny and flat finishes on the parts, and a slim front mudguard.
There’s no mudguard at the back, which keeps the lines clean and light. Small LED lights for signals add a modern touch without taking away from the simple design. The flat handlebar with mirrors at the ends makes it easy to handle, and the black spoked wheels pop against the green paint for a sharp contrast.
Under the seat, the bike keeps its air-cooled Desmodue engine, which now has a smoother eight-plate clutch. This makes shifting gears easier and quieter, while taking up less space so your foot has more room. The whole Scrambler family, including the Nightshift, has lost about 4 kg in weight thanks to small tweaks, making it even nimbler for daily rides.
The engine hooks up to ride-by-wire tech, letting you pick between two modes to change how quick and strong it feels. It also has traction control to keep the rear wheel from slipping on loose roads, and cornering ABS that adjusts braking when you’re leaning into turns for safer stops.
The Nightshift is built for riders who want a fun, easy bike that looks great and feels free. It’s perfect for city streets or short trips out of town, with enough power to zip along without being too much. Ducati lets you customize it online, from seats to colors, so you can make it your own.
A Ducati spokesperson said: “The Nightshift captures that timeless style with a fresh twist. The Emerald Green brings back the spirit of 70s racing icons, making every ride feel special.” With its blend of old charm and new comforts, this bike is set to turn heads wherever it goes.
If you’re into motorcycles that mix history with everyday ease, keep an eye on Ducati dealers this fall. The 2026 Nightshift could be the stylish ride you’ve been waiting for!
