Ducati Scrambler

We already wrote about the plans to expand the line of Ducati motorcycles through the scrambler - now a rare bird in the showrooms of authorized dealers. And that information is confirmed.

Insider information from people close to the project confirms - the scrambler should be ready in the next year. What's more - with a motorcycle factory in Bologna directly prepares a lot of accessories, factory tuning and equipment. The plans - to create a trend with the name «Scrambler».

On the bike will not be an engine of Monster 696, as previously assumed, but will use a more powerful engine from the "middle brother», Monster 796, with its 87 horsepower.

Ducati in March 2013 was registered trade mark «Scrambler». It would be used for a product list that includes not only motorcycles, but also toys, clothing, leather goods, and even cosmetics. This is the explanation of why it was done so in advance - with the advent of the new model will be ready a full range of spare parts and accessories.

We have already talked about the new large-Monster Testastretta engine with 11 established by now Diavel and Multistrada. After the appearance in 2013 of the new Hypermotard with "water" engine with a working volume of 821 cm ³, this engine can easily replace the "air" Monster 796 engine, which, in turn, will move to the Scrambler. Well, it is quite logical - two valves per cylinder, air cooled - this veteran, in fact has saved Ducati at the time of ruin, the place on a motorcycle in a retro style.

Be that as it may, the official information is still missing. "We do not discuss rumors about the upcoming release of new models," - this is the response of officials from Bologna.
