Ducati Scrambler 1100 rumoured

Ducati seems to have hit gold with the new Scrambler range of motorcycles. The Scrambler803 version has sold over 14,000 units globally which has helped the Italian bikemaker in achieving record sales this year. To further capitalise on this positive trend, Ducati downsized the Scrambler and introduced a 40cc variant in the form of the Scrambler Sixty2 at the 2015 EICMA Motorcycle Show last month. The latest addition according to Motorcycle News is a 1,100cc variant of the Scrambler. Speaking to MCN, Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO said that a possibility of a higher displacement Scrambler cannot be discounted. 

Ducati CEO, Claudio Domenicali said, “An 1100cc model can still be a Scrambler as long as it keeps to the same formula and doesn’t try to be too technical or make things too complex. There will be a family of Scrambler motorcycles. All of these will be called Scrambler and they will be about simple fun; something that sits on the other side of the garage from the Ducati sportsbike and is perfect for a Sunday morning ride to get a coffee. These bikes will be about basic technology, just the bike and nothing more.”

We can expect the new Ducati Scrambler 1100 to debut at the 2016 EICMA Motorcycle Show and the new bike will be the third variant under the Scrambler family. Among the main reasons for the success of the Scrambler can be credited to its affordable price tag, retro modern styling and the fact that it is a simple fun to ride bike in an era where manufacturers are trying to load up their offerings with all the electronic wizardry possible.
