Ducati India has launched the BS VI variant of its Scrambler portfolio in India. The bike comes in two distinct variants - 1100 Pro and 1100 Sport Pro that are priced at Rs 11.95 lakh and Rs 13.74 lakh respectively. 

The new Scrambler from Ducati comes with a BS VI compliant 1100cc L-twin, two-valve engine that produces 86hp at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 88.4 Nm at 4,750 rpm and is mated to ta 6-speed gearbox. Ducati is offering the engine with 12,000 km maintenance interval.    

Bipul Chandra, Managing Director of Ducati India said, “The Ducati Scrambler 1100 PRO stands out for its new two-tone "Ocean Drive" colour scheme, combined with a steel Trellis frame and rear aluminium subframe, which are both black. A new right-side dual tailpipe and low-slung number plate holder ensure distinctive rear-end styling and, together with the new livery, give the bike a coiled, compact look. Another hallmark is the framed headlight; inspired by the protective adhesive tape used back in the ‘70s, a black metal ‘X’ has been incorporated inside the headlight.” 

At the rear, a full-LED taillight assembly emits a soft light. The Scrambler 1100 Pro mounts Marzocchi suspension system at the front and Kayaba at the rear. The 1100 Pro is equipped with a Brembo Braking System with ABS Cornering as standard. At the front, a 320 mm double disc has been fitted with two Brembo monobloc four-piston calipers and at the rear, there is a 245 mm disc on which a 34 mm single piston caliper works.

The Scrambler 1100 Sport Pro features Öhlins suspension, specifically a 45 mm diameter upside-down fork and a rear shock absorber with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping. Both allow 150 mm wheel travel to cover all types of terrain. The Sport Pro offers Café Racer rear-view mirrors and a flat handlebar, 1,514 mm wheelbase and a matte black paint scheme.

The Ducati Scrambler 1100 Pro twins are equipped with Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Cornering ABS, three standard riding modes (Active, Journey, and City), and tyres from Pirelli MT60 RS 120/80 ZR 18 tyre at the front and 180/55 ZR 17tyre at the rear.
