Ducati India has
announced the launch of Scrambler 1100 on 27 August. That said, an early August
report claims that the Ducati Scrambler 1100 will cost INR 11.50 lakh
(ex-showroom India) for the base variant in the country.
The same report
claims that potential customers can book the Ducati Scrambler 1100 at an amount
of around INR 1 lakh or INR 2 lakh depending on the dealership. Ducati India is
expected to introduce all three variants of the Scrambler 1100, Standard, Special,
and Sport, in India. The Scrambler 1100 is set to become the flagship offering
in the Ducati Scrambler range in the country.
The Ducati
Scrambler 1100 features a similar design language as the entry-level Scrambler but
features a few cosmetic upgrades. The Scrambler 1100 features an under-seat
twin-exhaust setup, while the alternator cover, engine cover, and clutch
receive an aluminium finish. The motorcycle gets aggressive ergonomics with
rear-set foot-pegs and a farther-pushed handlebar.
The Ducati
Scrambler 1100 features an all-new digital instrument cluster, while the
motorcycle gets an exhaustive suite of electronic rider aids like three riding
modes, five-level traction control system, cornering ABS, an inertial
measurement unit (IMU) with lean angle sensitivity, and ride-by-wire throttle
system.
Powering the Ducati
Scrambler 1100 is a 1,079 cc, air-cooled, Desmodromic L-twin motor that is
tuned to produce 85 bhp of maximum power at 7,500 rpm while generating a peak
torque of 88 Nm at 4,750 rpm while working with a 6-speed transmission. The
motorcycle gets a standard slipper clutch, which assists during aggressive
downshifts.
Braking power is
provided by twin 330 mm rotors at the front with 4-piston Brembo M4.32B
Monobloc callipers, while the rear features a 245 mm disc brake with a
single-piston calliper. The Standard and Special variants of the Ducati
Scrambler 1100 come with 45 mm USD Kayaba fork at the front with preload and
rebound damping adjustability, while the rear gets a rebound and preload
adjustable mono-shock.
On the other hand,
the Scrambler 1100 Sport gets a fully-adjustable Ohlins front suspension, while
the rear mono-shock is similar to the unit available on the two versions. The
Ducati Scrambler 1100 will compete with the BMW R nineT Scrambler, Kawasaki
Z900 RS, and the Triumph Thruxton R.
