Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled vs Norton Motorcycles Atlas Ranger ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled has a 860 mm seat; the Norton Motorcycles Atlas Ranger sits at 867 mm — a 7 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 86 cm for the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled and 87 cm for the Norton Motorcycles Atlas Ranger.

That makes the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Norton Motorcycles Atlas Ranger gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
