Ducati has announced the launch of the all-new Ducati Scrambler range in India. The MY19 range for India includes the Icon, Full Throttle, Café Racer and Desert Sled, and are priced at INR 7.89 Lacs, INR 8.92 Lacs, INR 9.78 and INR 9.93 Lacs (Ex-Showroom India) respectively. Ducati claims the renewed series is more contemporary, more comfortable and safer, ensuring even more carefree fun.
The Scrambler Icon which is the blend of tradition and innovation, Scrambler Desert Sled showcasing an amalgamation of the spirit of the off-road bikes from the 60's and 70's but with the uniqueness of the Scrambler style, Full throttle which takes its cue from the flat track Scrambler ridden by California racer Frankie Garcia in the 2018 American Super Hooligan Championship and the Scrambler Café Racer which offers a fresh take on the legendary bikes of the 60’s that brought about a motorcycling revolution.
The latest versions incorporate the new aesthetics and are loaded with technical features including a L-Twin, Desmodromic distribution, 2 valves per cylinder, air cooled – 803 cc engine, which delivers more than generous torque of 49 lb-ft (67 Nm) @ 5,750 rpm right from the bottom of the rev range and an agile Scrambler chassis.
Sergi Canovas, Managing Director of Ducati India said, “The Scrambler range is one of the most loved and highest selling Ducati family in the country. Scramblers have always been the quintessential bike when it comes to accessible power and supreme control on any kind of roads and this year, we have made the entire range more advanced and capable. The new line up is a cultural movement in itself standing for a free-spirited attitude. The Ducati Scrambler isn’t just a bike: it’s a whole new lifestyle, shaped by dedicated apparel and accessories. This is our first product launch of the year and we are thrilled to introduce the all-new Scrambler range in India.”
The flat-inspired full throttle comes with a unique hooligan livery of the two-tone black-yellow tank, with a white stripe and dedicated logo, which vividly recalls Frankie Garcia's bike, as does the new racing-inspired rear end. The new seat has a passenger seat cover with a paint job that mirrors that of the tank. Side-mounted yellow number holders with white trim complete the all-new Full Throttle look. The Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle also features a Termignoni dual-tailpipe exhaust homologated for road use. The Pirelli MT 60 RS 110/80 R18 tires, low-slung tapered handlebar - light and ergonomic – and the stubby front mudguard add to the unique style of the Scrambler Full Throttle. This is a motorcycle for those who want a perfect every-day bike that retains uncompromising racing style.
With its renewed livery, the new Scrambler Café Racer draws its inspiration - and Silver Ice Matt graphics with blue frame - from the legendary Ducati 125GP Desmo. The new 17" spoked wheels, Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires and aluminum bar-end mirrors give the bike a cool '60s race look, while a modern radial front brake pump provides braking performance on a par with that of a sport bike. And there's more: the exhaust with the dual tailpipe, nose fairing, lateral number holders (with the number 54 in honor of Bruno Spiaggiari) and stubby mudguard are all clear references to the bikes that roared down British streets in the 60’s.
The Scrambler Desert Sled rekindles the spirit of classic American off-road bikes without compromising on Scrambler Ducati’s lifestyle values. With its red frame, a new seat with color-coordinated stitching and 19" spoked wheels with black rims, this bike is more up-to-the-minute than ever. The new Desert Sled also features an Off-Road Riding Mode that allows ABS disengagement for down-in-the-dirt fun. A dedicated riding position, Pirelli SCORPION™ RALLY tires and 46mm fully adjustable Kayaba USD forks suspension also ramp up the fun factor. Rugged off-road character oozes from the type-approved headlight mesh guard, high mudguards (specially designed for this version) and the engine skid pan.
While the 2019 models offer a solid starting point, original accessories will further enhance the creative spirit behind the Ducati Scrambler. The whole new Scrambler range comes with a new apparel line-up which ranges from jackets to t-shirts and ensures that the new models are enjoyed in style.
