Troy Lee Designs’ Custom Ducati Scrambler Turns Heads: “Looks Bitchin’ If You Ask Me…..
In the world of custom motorcycles, few names evoke as much respect and admiration as Troy Lee Designs. Known for their bold aesthetics and roots in motocross culture, TLD has once again flexed its creative muscle—this time by teaming up with Ducati to unveil a stunning custom Scrambler that’s turning heads across the moto community. Or, as one fan put it: “Looks bitchin’ if you ask me.”
The collaboration centers around the Ducati Scrambler platform, a bike already renowned for its versatility and style. But in TLD’s hands, the familiar silhouette has been completely transformed into a vibrant, high-performance statement piece that blurs the lines between retro charm and modern aggression.
This isn’t TLD’s first rodeo when it comes to custom bikes, but the Ducati project stands out thanks to its high level of craftsmanship and unmistakable flair. The paint job alone is classic TLD—layered with electric blues, racing oranges, and matte blacks that practically leap off the tank. The hand-painted details, signature flake finishes, and subtle nods to both brands show a deep respect for both the bike’s Italian roots and TLD’s SoCal heritage.
Visually, the bike takes inspiration from vintage flat track racers while integrating modern performance upgrades. High-rise ProTaper bars, lightweight custom wheels wrapped in Pirelli dual-sport rubber, and a bespoke exhaust system that snarls with authority—all of it screams purpose-built attitude.
“Working with Ducati on this build was a dream,” said Troy Lee, founder of TLD. “We wanted to keep the Scrambler’s spirit alive but infuse it with our racing DNA. The end result is pure fun—something you want to ride hard and show off.”
The partnership was reportedly sparked by a shared passion for two-wheeled culture and a mutual admiration between Ducati’s design team and TLD’s creative studio. It’s a celebration of freedom, expression, and the sheer joy of riding.
Unsurprisingly, the custom Scrambler has already made appearances at select shows and social media teasers, where it’s received rave reviews. Fans and influencers alike have praised it for its bold look and ride-ready functionality. Some even speculate this could lead to a limited edition production run—a possibility Ducati has neither confirmed nor denied.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the bike carries a broader message. It represents what’s possible when two iconic brands collaborate—not just to sell something, but to inspire. It’s about pushing boundaries while keeping things fun, fast, and unapologetically stylish.
For now, the TLD Ducati remains a one-off masterpiece. But its impact on the custom scene—and possibly Ducati’s future design language—is already being felt.
One thing’s for sure: this isn’t just a bike, it’s a statement. And in the words of countless fans scrolling past the first images online—“TLD’s Ducati looks bitchin’, if you ask me.
