NEW DELHI: Italian superbike maker Ducati on Thursday launched the Scrambler Desert Sled model in India at a starting price of Rs 9.32 lakh (ex-showoom).
Powered by Euro IV-compliant twin cylinder 803 cc engine, Desert Sled comes with 6-speed gearbox and delivers 75 hp at 8,250 rpm and a torque of 68 Nm at 5,750 rpm.
The bike is available in ‘Red Dusk’ and ‘White Mirage’ at Rs 9,32,000 and Rs 9,45,000 (ex-showroom), respectively, Ducati India said in a statement.
The bike draws inspiration from the off-road bikes of the 1960s and the 1970s that made US motorcycling history in the mountains and deserts of California. It comes with a 6-speed gearbox, the Euro-IV compliant engine and twin-cylinders.
The company also announced the availability of Euro IV versions of the Scrambler Icon and the Scrambler Classic bikes, priced at Rs 7.23 lakh and Rs 8.48 lakh, respectively.
“We have introduced for the first time in India, a motorcycle in the easy off-road category,” said Ducati India managing director Sergi Canovas Garriga.
