Pierfrancesco
Scalzo, General Manager Sales and Marketing Asia said: “In 2013, we began our
groundwork in India and our belief in the market has been reaffirmed. This has
been possible with great partners such as AMP, Infinity and VST. I have
travelled extensively across the length and breadth of India, met Ducatisti,
felt their passion and know that we will be successful in this country. 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. The Full Throttle version,
inspired by the flat track world, is destined for those who want a motorcycle
perfect for every-day use and with a distinctive racing style.”
While the
motorcycles are available on order from their respective dealerships already;
detailed confirmed pricing for all models will be released soon.
