Ducati Scrambler Classic

About

The Ducati Scrambler Classic is a versatile and engaging motorcycle that excels in various riding conditions. Powered by an 803cc L-twin engine, it delivers 73 BHP and 64 Nm of torque, making it potent yet manageable for riders of different skill levels. The bike features a lightweight design and agile handling, which is enhanced by its 18-inch front wheel and Pirelli MT-60 RS tires that offer good grip on both road and light off-road terrain. The ride-by-wire throttle system provides crisp and smooth throttle response, and the six-speed manual transmission is now smoother and easier to use thanks to the redesigned internal components. While the suspension is non-adjustable apart from rear preload and feels a bit budget-oriented, it does a decent job of absorbing bumps. Overall, the Scrambler Classic is a great blend of style, performance, and usability, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fun and capable motorcycle.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ducati Scrambler Classic is a gem for those looking to enter the premium motorcycle segment without breaking the bank. My experience with this bike has been nothing short of exhilarating. It combines a lightweight and agile design with a powerful 803cc L-twin engine, producing 73 BHP and 64 Nm of torque. The bike is incredibly fun to ride, whether youre navigating through city traffic or taking on winding roads. The ride-by-wire throttle in the newer models has significantly improved the throttle response, making it smoother and more configurable. However, the bikes comfort is somewhat compromised by its sporty ergonomics and a seat that can be uncomfortable on long rides. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Scramblers handling, braking performance, and overall usability make it a great choice for both new and experienced riders.

Price

In India, the Ducati Scrambler Classic is priced competitively to make it an accessible entry point into the Ducati family. The ex-showroom price for the Scrambler Classic can range around Rs. 8.5 lakh to Rs. 9 lakh, depending on the region and any customizations. Once you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can go up to around Rs. 10.5 lakh to Rs. 11 lakh in major cities like Mumbai. This pricing makes the Scrambler an attractive option for those who want a premium motorcycle experience without the hefty price tag of more powerful Ducati models.

Latest Updates

Monday, 17 June 2024 07:14 AM The 2024 Ducati Scrambler range, which includes models like the Icon, has been updated with modern design and componentry. The new Scrambler Icon is 4kg lighter, features a new frame and swingarm, and includes next-gen electronics like a 4.3” TFT display and Ride-by-Wire throttle management. This makes the bike more agile, safer, and enjoyable to ride. I think these updates will significantly enhance the riding experience for Scrambler enthusiasts.

Tuesday, 18 June 2024 12:42 AM Ducati Scrambler has launched a challenge called Elevation as part of the Days of Joy activities, where participants aim to accumulate the highest number of meters of elevation riding Ducati Scramblers.

Monday, 17 June 2024 05:36 AM The 2024 Ducati Scrambler models are equipped with next-gen connectivity, allowing riders to manage different apps via the handlebar controls.

Friday, 24 May 2024 01:27 PM Ducati presented two innovative concepts at the 2024 London Bike Shed MotoShow, showcasing the customization potential of the Scrambler range. These concepts, while not specifically the Classic model, demonstrate the versatility and creative freedom that Scrambler owners can enjoy. I think this kind of innovation keeps the brand fresh and exciting.

Friday, 15 March 2024 07:42 PM The 2024 Ducati Scrambler Icon features a completely updated fairing design, sleek black engine details, and a tighter, flatter seat, making it more comfortable for both rider and passenger. The bike also comes with Cornering ABS, which increases safety during emergency braking. This attention to detail and safety is something I appreciate in modern motorcycles.

Friday, 15 March 2024 03:14 PM The new Scrambler models offer various customization options, including nine different colors and accessory color kits. This emphasis on customizability allows riders to personalize their bikes according to their preferences. I believe this level of customization is a key factor in the Scramblers enduring appeal.

Saturday, 07 October 2023 11:59 AM The Ducati Scrambler has marked its 10th anniversary with the introduction of special editions like the Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma Edition. While not specifically about the Classic model, this anniversary highlights the enduring popularity and appeal of the Scrambler range. I think such limited editions add a special touch to the brands legacy.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 01:24 PM When it comes to mileage, the Ducati Scrambler Classic is not the most frugal option. In real-world conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 17-20 kml, which is reasonable given its powerful engine and sporty nature. While this may not be ideal for long-distance touring or for those highly concerned about running costs, the Scramblers performance and handling more than make up for its moderate fuel efficiency.
