Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark is a delightful blend of retro styling, modern technology, and robust performance. I found the bike to be incredibly friendly and easy to ride, making it an excellent entry point into the Ducati family. The casual riding position, with its wide handlebar and flat 31.4-inch-tall saddle, is super comfortable and ideal for shorter riders. The bikes torquey 803cc L-Twin engine provides a meaty spread of power across the rev range, making it perfect for both city riding and highway cruises. However, the throttle response can be a bit touchy, especially in slow turns, which requires careful handling. Despite this, the bikes playful handling and intuitive nature make it a joy to ride. The addition of cornering ABS and a light clutch further enhances its usability. While it may not be the best choice for everyday commuting due to engine heat in stop-and-go traffic, it shines on winding roads and cool mornings, making it a great option for those looking for a fun and approachable motorcycle.

Price

In India, the Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark is priced competitively to attract new buyers into the Ducati fold. The ex-showroom price for the Scrambler Icon Dark is around Rs 10.5 lakh, although this can vary slightly depending on the location. Once you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can go up to around Rs 12-13 lakh. While this may seem steep, the quality of the bike, its performance, and the brands prestige make it a worthwhile investment for those who value the Ducati experience. The price difference between the Icon and the Icon Dark is minimal, with the Dark model offering a sleeker, more subdued aesthetic at a slightly lower cost, making it an attractive option for those who prefer a more understated look.

Latest Updates

Monday, 07 October 2024 05:56 PM The Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark is set to arrive at US dealerships starting in March 2025, marking its return to the Ducati lineup after a brief absence. This model is known for its minimalistic and dark black design, making it a perfect canvas for customization. The bike features a teardrop tank, essential side panels, and a sporty tail fairing, all in a sleek black finish. I believe this simplicity and customization potential will make it a hit among enthusiasts.

Monday, 07 October 2024 06:46 AM The 2025 Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark comes with several technical updates, including a ride-by-wire throttle, quick-shifter, and cornering ABS, enhancing both riding pleasure and safety. The bike retains the classic Scrambler styling cues but with more modern technical content, such as a 4.3” TFT dashboard. I think these updates will make the bike more appealing to both new and experienced riders.

Monday, 07 October 2024 10:28 AM Ducati has priced the Scrambler Icon Dark at $9,995 in the US market, making it one of the more affordable options in the Ducati lineup. This pricing strategy is likely aimed at attracting a broader range of buyers who are drawn to the bikes minimalist design and customization possibilities. I believe this pricing will help Ducati tap into a more budget-conscious segment of the market.

Monday, 07 October 2024 04:44 PM The Scrambler Icon Dark features an air-cooled two-valve twin-cylinder engine that produces 73 horsepower, with a 35-kW version available for motorcyclists with an A2 license. This versatility in engine options makes the bike accessible to a wider range of riders. I think this flexibility will be a significant selling point for the Icon Dark.

Monday, 07 October 2024 06:57 AM Ducati emphasizes the customization aspect of the Scrambler Icon Dark, offering a wide range of accessories and clothing options through their online configurator.

I believe this focus on customization will resonate well with enthusiasts who value personalizing their bikes.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 08:40 PM The mileage of the Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark in India is reasonable given its performance-oriented nature. With its 803cc L-Twin engine, the bike is not designed for fuel efficiency but rather for delivering a robust riding experience. In city conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 15-20 kml, while on the highways, this can improve to about 25-30 kml. These figures are based on the bikes ability to pull cleanly from low speeds and its relatively short gearing, which helps in maintaining a comfortable cruising speed without straining the engine. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient option, the Scramblers mileage is acceptable considering its power output and the joy it brings to the ride.

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.
