Ducati India has launched the new Ducati Scrambler 1100 with prices starting at ₹ 10.91 lakh (ex-showroom in india). The Scrambler 1100 is available in three variants – the base Scrambler 1100, Scrambler 1100 Special, and Scrambler 1100 Sport. The Scrambler 1100 is the top-of-the-line model in the Scrambler family and it has a bigger engine and more technology. The Scrambler 1100 Special is priced at ₹ 11.12 lakh (ex-showroom), and the Scrambler 1100 Sport is priced at ₹ 11.42 lakh (ex-showroom). Targeted at riders looking for a neo-retro performance naked, and even for riders within the Ducati Scrambler family to upgrade, the Scrambler 1100 features a new 1,079 cc engine, which makes 85 bhp at 7,600 rpm, and 88 Nm of peak torque at 4,750 rpm spread over a wide rev range.
The Scrambler 1100 gets a redesigned chassis and a host of electronic rider aids. The ride-by-wire throttle features three riding modes – Active, Journey and City. Active has the full 85 bhp with aggressive throttle response, while Journey also has the maximum 85 bhp on tap, but with a smoother throttle response. City has power dialled down to 75 bhp with a smooth throttle response. The Scrambler 1100 also features a four-level traction control system, and Bosch cornering ABS, along with big piston brake pads, adjustable clutch and brake levers.
On the cosmetic side, the Scrambler 1100 doesn’t stray too much from the Ducati Scrambler silhouette but gets beefier and muscular, with twin underseat exhausts, and revised ergonomics. The bike gets a new twin spar, steel-trellis frame, complemented by a double-sided aluminium swingarm. Also new is a brand new, full-digital instrument panel, which takes design inspiration from the bikes of the 1970s. Deliveries for the Ducati Scrambler 1100 will begin next month, and although it doesn’t have any real rival in that segment or type, at that price point, the Scrambler 1100 competes with the likes of the Suzuki GSX-S1000, and even the Triumph Street Triple ₹
