All three bikes boast a relaxed riding position, lightweight construction, and provide riders of all skill levels with an exhilarating experience whether navigating city streets or embarking on exhilarating adventures.

He emphasized the bike's cutting-edge handling, updated electronics, and the availability of three different variations: the cool and iconic Icon, the sporty Full Throttle, and the elegant Nightshift. Chandra believes that these Scramblers will rekindle the joy of motorcycling and exceed expectations in the Indian market.The Scrambler Icon, considered the quintessential Ducati Scrambler, has undergone significant design changes.
Customization is at the forefront with replaceable covers for the tank, fenders, wheels, and front headlight. The bike also offers a range of nine liveries, including three standard colours and six additional options available as accessory kits.
Other updates include a lower handlebar for improved control, a more comfortable seat for both the rider and passenger and sleek black side panels with Ducati Scrambler graphics. For riders who seek a sportier option, the Scrambler Full Throttle draws inspiration from U.S. flat-track racing.
Features such as side number plates, a shorter front fender, and tail without a rear fender contribute to its rugged aesthetic. The bike is equipped with a sport-look seat cover, a GP19 Red/Dark Stealth colour scheme, black finishing touches, and a Termignoni silencer.
It also includes a Rosso GP19 seat cover for a single-seat appearance and a more aggressive riding position. Lastly, the Nightshift model represents the epitome of elegance in the new Scrambler range. This bike showcases classic and refined details such as a café racer-style saddle in dark leather and a combination of glossy and matte surfaces.
It features side number plates, a minimal front fender, black finishes, compact LED turn signals, Nebula Blue colouring, spoked wheels finished in black, and a variable-section handlebar with café racer-style bar-end mirrors. The Ducati Scrambler's engine is an L-twin, two valves, air, and oil-cooled 803 cc unit. With updates such as Ride-by-Wire throttle control, the engine offers smooth acceleration at any speed.
The Scrambler Desmodue engine also incorporates a new clutch, an oil bath-based system derived from the Monster, and a bearing-mounted shift drum for precise and seamless shifting. The six-speed gearbox can be equipped with a quickshifter as an option on certain models.
In terms of the chassis, the Ducati Scrambler boasts a tubular steel trellis frame with a double upper beam and a bolted rear frame. The frame and chassis dimensions provide a relaxed and enjoyable ride while remaining agile in both city and mountainous terrains.
