A new EPA filing (US Environment Protection Agency)
has confirmed that Ducati is preparing two new Scramblers, a Ducati Scrambler
1100 Pro and Ducati Scrambler Sport 1100 Pro. However, what exactly the
Italians aiming for is yet to be known.
The powertrain will be the same 1,097 cc air-cooled,
L-twin mill. The engine is capable of producing 86 PS of power and 88 Nm of
torque. Now put this into perspective, imagine either of these two new bikes to
be a bigger and more powerful Desert Sled? That would be a hoot to ride! Also,
we would love to see an update to the Scrambler 400 and also an Indian launch
for the smallest Scrambler.
The Ducati Monster 821 was introduced to the world
as a replacement of the Monster 796 in 2014. We expect the bike to finally get
a much-needed upgrade. However, little is known about the bike, if at all. The
fuel tank will continue to sport the iconic design. Add to that, the familiar
tubular chassis will be adding to the looks. A perfect example of form meeting
function!
The Ducati Monster 821's 821 cc Testastretta, L-twin
engine is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox and can produce 109 PS of power and 86
Nm of torque. The facelifted Ducati Monster 821 may get a larger engine
displacement as a way to meet the upcoming Euro 5 norms. That’s a technique
which its rival KTM 790 Duke is expected to utilise with the upcoming 890 Duke.
Besides these five motorcycles, Ducati will
definitely be bringing in several new updates for other models. However, we may
not see any update to the Ducati Hypermotard 950 anytime soon.
