Latest Updates

Monday, 27 May 2024 03:27 PM Ducati has re-ignited interest in the Desert Sled variant by unveiling the RR24I concept, a near-production-ready model that hints at a potential return of the Desert Sled. The RR24I features a post-apocalyptic design and is geared towards off-road adventures, though its not as off-road-biased as the original Desert Sled. I think this concept is a great step towards bringing back a fan favorite.

Saturday, 12 November 2022 10:28 AM The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is set to be discontinued after June 2023, according to Ducatis statements. This marks the end of an era for a model that was popular among off-road enthusiasts. I believe this discontinuation will be felt by many who loved the Desert Sleds capabilities.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:02 AM The mileage of the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled in India can vary based on riding conditions and style. On average, you can expect around 20-25 kml in urban riding and up to 30 kml on the highway, assuming moderate throttle use. However, if youre venturing into off-road terrain, the mileage can drop significantly due to the increased power demand and the type of terrain.

Ex Showroom Price vs On Road Price	Ex-Showroom Price is the Manufacturing Cost of the vehicle + Dealer/Seller Profit + GST (Goods and Service Tax) + Transportation Charges (from the manufacturing plant to the dealership). On the other hand, the On-Road Price is the actual cost you pay to the dealership to make the vehicle legal to run on the roads. It includes Ex-Showroom Price in your city + RTO Charges (Vehicle Registration) + One Time Road Tax + Insurance Charges. The On-Road Price also includes some optional things like if you opt for Genuine Accessories and Extended Warranty while buying a vehicle. Please note that the On-Road Price varies a lot across different states in India due to different percentage for the State Registration Charges.
