Ducati India is all set to launch the Scrambler 1100 today. Powered by an oil and air cooled , 1079cc, L-twin motor that also powered Monster 1100, Ducati's new Scrambler 1100 is the biggest Scrambler yet. Positioned as an entry-level motorcycle, the Ducati Scrambler has made quite a name for itself as a friendly, retro-styled motorcycle globally. But the introduction of the Ducati Scrambler 1100 has changed the way the Scrambler family is perceived by enthusiasts, being more powerful, muscular and more tech-laden. The Scrambler 1100 was shown to the world at the 2017 Milan Motor Show where it made jaws drop. Design changes include bigger, underseat exhausts and a revised headlamp design to distinguish it from the smaller Scramblers.

Three variants are offered internationally, the Standard, Sport and Special and we expect the Standard to be offered in India first.

The Scrambler 1100 comes equipped with fat, 45mm upside down forks from Marzocchi that are fully-adjustable, hinting at the bike's sportier virtues, while an adjustable monoshock from KYB is employed at the rear

Braking prowess comes via twin 330mm discs upfront along with Brembo M4-32B monobloc calipers that are radially mounted.

The second display integrates the speedometer and gear indicator primarily, while the bigger display offers information like the riding mode, traction level in addition to the tachometer like before. Unlike the smaller Scramblers, the 1100 also gets a fuel gauge now.

The instrument cluster on the Ducati Scrambler 1100 gets a secondary display as well and offers a lot more information including riding modes, traction levels and a fuel gauge as well

The Ducati Scrambler 1100 gets underseat exhausts and a new trellis frame along with a sportier riding position as compared to the smaller Scramblers

The Scrambler 1100 also gets more rider aids in the form of three riding modes called Active, Journey and City, essentially sport, touring and urban, along with traction control and cornering ABS.

The Scrambler 1100 uses a different trellis frame as compared to the smaller Scramblers and its riding position is sportier as well.
