Ducati will provide the same high standards of service in India as we do everywhere else in the world.”
Ravi Avalur, Managing Director, Ducati India Pvt. Ltd. said; “We introduced the Scrambler Icon in June and were overwhelmed with the positive response from our customers. Now, we’re proud to unveil the Scrambler Classic and Full Throttle and are confident that motorcyclists will love these versatile machines also. Of the two new Scrambler variants introduced, the Classic is aimed at those who appreciate attention to detail and 1970s style, but who don’t want to compromise on riding pleasure and functionality.
