Ducati Scrambler 1100: Price Expectation

The Scrambler is the new entry-level offering in Ducati's line-up, and while we don't get the smaller Scrambler Sixty2, the Italian bike maker is all set to introduce the larger Ducati Scrambler 1100 in India later today. The model was globally revealed last year and packs in a bigger engine and more power than the standard 803 cc version. The Ducati Scrambler 1100 will be positoned above the 803 model and naturally so, will command a higher price tag. Like other Ducati offerings, this one too will come as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) and we expect the Scrambler 1100 to be priced around Rs. 11 lakh (ex-showroom) when launched.

For the price tag, the Ducati Scrambler 1100 will be able to position itself uniquely, not only in the bike maker's line-up but against rivals as well. While the pricing may seem a tad bit premium, it would be about Rs. 3.5 lakh more expensive than the Scrambler 803 that starts at Rs. 7.23 lakh. At the same time, the Scrambler 1100 will be just a tad bit more premium than the Ducati Monster 821 that starts at Rs. 9.51 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). The Italian offering does not have a direct rival at present, at least until the Triumph Bonneville-based Scrambler 1200 arrives later this year globally.

So what do you get on the Ducati Scrambler 1100? While the basic design remains the same, the new model comes with additional aluminium finishes on the engine cover, clutch and alternator cover. The twin exhausts are also upswept and come up parallel to the pillion seat. The Scrambler 1100 will come equipped with a new LCD instrument console with additional information like riding modes and traction control. The bike also gets with ride-by-wire throttle that allows for three riding modes - Active, Journey and City. The electronic aids are missed out on the 803 Scrambler.
