DUCATI SCRAMBLER

Overview

Ducati has finally taken the wraps off the smallest offering in the Scrambler family – the Sixty2. First things first, the Scrambler Sixty2 sports a 399cc L-twin Desmodromic air-cooled engine that produces 41.5PS of peak power. Torque figures of the motorcycle are still unknown but we expect it to be around the 35Nm mark. Considering that the Sixty2 loses one cylinder, there is an obvious reduction in weight too. The 400cc Scrambler Sixty2 tips the scale at 167kg.

The Scrambler Sixty2 will be the most affordable motorcycle to be offered by Ducati, so there obviously will be a reduction in equipment. Ducati has replaced the upside down forks from the larger Scrambler with telescopic ones on the Sixty2. The low displacement Scrambler is also expected to have different tyres. The entry-level Ducati will get a steel tube swing arm, a 14 litre fuel tank and a new black silencer cover.

The 400cc Scrambler Sixty2 will go on sale in three colour schemes - atomic tangerine, shining black and ocean grey. Details of when the Scrambler Sixty2 will make it to Indian shores are still sketchy but we expect it to be here in 2016. When launched, the Scrambler will possibly cost Rs 4 lakh.

Aside from the entry-level Scrambler Sixty2, Ducati also introduced a new flagship member to its Scrambler family in the form of the Flat Track Pro. This top-spec Scrambler offering will feature aluminium mirrors, a sporty headlight fairing, CNC footpegs and sprocket cover, full throttle exhaust and more.

Ducati also said that they will be unveiling another version of the Scrambler which they have produced in association with an Italian fashion brand in Miami in December.
