The Italian company has recently released
a teaser image on its social media channels revealing that the next
BS6-compliant Ducati to set its foot in India will be a Scrambler. The teaser
image of the upcoming BS6 Ducati Scrambler shows only the headlamp of the
motorcycle. Ducati has not revealed any other information whatsoever.
Consequently, it could be either the Scrambler 800 models or the Scrambler 1100
models.
All the variants of the Ducati Scrambler
800 are powered by the same 803cc air-cooled L-twin engine which churns out
73.4 PS of maximum power at 8250 rpm and 67 Nm of peak torque at 5750 rpm. On
the other hand, the 1100 Scrambler range draws power from 1,079cc L-Twin,
Desmodromic engine which produces 86 PS of maximum power at 7500 rpm and 88 Nm
of peak torque at 4750 rpm. For the transmission, all the models come with a
6-speed gearbox. Speculations suggest that Ducati might launch the BS6
Scrambler range in this month itself.
Apart from the BS6 Scrambler range, Ducati
will also launch other models that will comply with the stricter Bharat Stage 6
emission standards. Based on the earlier report, Ducati is expected to
introduce a BS6 Multistrada. At this point, it is unclear as to which variant
of the Multistrada it will be, however, it is being anticipated that Ducati
could start with the Multistrada 950 which should arrive in India in October.
