Scheduled to hit the European market in
March is the 2020 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Pro and Scrambler 1100 Sport Pro, its
pair of retro-styled do-anything motorcycles. Presenting more of a mid-model
update than a revised machine, the Scrambler 1100 Pro and 1100 Sport Pro now
come with a new two-tone paint scheme called “Ocean Drive” with Malaysia market
release expected in the third quarter of 2020.
The frame on the Scrambler 1100 Pro now
comes in black, as does the sub-frame and aluminium side covers. The twin
exhaust pipes exit on the right side and the rear mudguard is tucked in closer
to the seat to give the 2020 Scrambler 1100 a tidier back end, along with a
black metal ‘X’ inside the headlight for that 70’s retro dirt racer look.
For the Scrambler 1100 Sport Pro, it is
differentiated from the base Scrambler 1100 Pro by the use of Ohlins suspension
front and rear while the Pro uses a Marzocchi fork and Kayaba monoshock. The
Sport Pro also uses low-rise handlebars and cafe racer type bar end mirrors
while both the Scrambler 1100 Pro and Sport Pro come with a seat clad in a new
seat cover material for increased comfort.
Motive power for the Scrambler 1100 comes
in the form of an air-cooled V-twin displacing 1,079 cc, producing 86 hp at
7,500 rpm and 88 Nm of torque at 4,750 rpm. Riding aids include Ducati Traction
Control developed specifically for the Scrambler 1100 Pro and Sport Pro as well
as cornering ABS and three ride modes – Active, City and Journey.
Fuel is carried inside a 15-litre tank and
seat height is 810 mm for the Scrambler 1100 Pro with wet weight claimed to be
206 kg. Braking is done by Brembo with radial-mount Monobloc M4.32 four-piston
callipers grabbing 320 mm diameter discs in front.
