Exclusive: Ducati Scrambler 1100 PRO India Launch Details Revealed

Ducati's revamped bigger Scramblers will be launched in India, but the ongoing coronavirus lockdown has put a spanner in the works for Ducati India's launch. According to Ducati India Managing Director Bipul Chandra, the new heritage models will definitely be launched in India, but the launch has been postponed due to the coronavirus lockdown across the world. Chandra told carandbike in an exclusive interaction that the new Ducati Scrambler models will certainly be launched in India, but the launch has now been postponed till the beginning of the third quarter of the current calendar year. What that essentially means is that the Ducati Scrambler 1100 PRO will be launched in India sometime in July or August 2020.

"The Ducati Scrambler 1100 PRO has been very well received in foreign markets, there's been a tremendous response to the bigger Scrambler. In India too, the Ducati Scrambler family has been the mainstay in sales for us, it is the largest contributor to retail sales, and there have been customers who absolutely love the Scrambler, in both 800 and 1100 formats. We will definitely launch a new model in the heritage class, but that launch will now be moved to Q3 due to the COVID-19 crisis around the world," Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati India, told carandbike.
