The company also took the wraps off its long-awaited off-road Multistrada, labeled the 1200 Enduro.
Ducati is positioning the Scrambler Sixty2 as an cheap entry into the riding world offering an affordable bike that’s easy to handle and has low running costs. The Bologna based manufacturer has stated that the Scrambler Sixty 2 get its name from the year 1962 because that’s when pop art was gaining popularity across America and the new Scrambler represents that culture. The Scrambler Sixty2 is factory fit with Pirelli MT 60 RS tyres (Front: 110/80 R18; Rear: 160/60 R17).
New, wide bars and a trimmed down tail give the Ducati XDiavel a fresh disposition. The new bike comes with minute changes and with features such as 14liter slim steel fuel tank along with dedicated graphics and logos. The Sixty2 is powered by a 399cc, 41hp desmodromic air-cooled L-twin, with styling largely identical to its larger capacity siblings in the Scrambler range. Its colour options include Ocean Grey, Chignon Black and Atomic Tangerine.
Other features found in the Scrambler Sixty2 LED technology in the front and rear lights as well as simple but effective LCD instrumentation with interchangeable surround for customization. Adding to it, the Italian brand has also revealed the Scrambler Flat Track Pro at the show.
