Ducati Scrambler Icon: The Most Affordable Ducati In India

Hey, you crazy speed demons, sit tight! We’re talking about a beast that’ll make you feel like you’re flying down like Batman but in a slightly more legal fashion.

Now, I know what you're thinking, “Ducati? In India? Can I afford it without selling my property?” Well, fret not, fellow speed junkies! Ducati’s got your back with a machine that’s as affordable as it is jaw-dropping and trust me (If you can), it’s more fun than watching a cat chase a laser pointer, the Ducati Scrambler Icon.

Yeah, you heard me right. It’s a Ducati. It’s affordable. And it’s ready to shred the streets in style. For the price of just one BHK house, you could ride a beast that’ll make your heart race and your wallet not cry (if you are above middle class). Get ready to meet the most affordable Ducati in India, where raw Italian passion meets practicality. Let’s accelerate.

Features good enough for daily use?

The Ducati Scrambler Icon comes with an 803cc L-Twin engine. Don’t worry, it won’t eat up all your savings but it’ll still give you enough power to break the sound barrier (well almost). It produces 73 hp, which is enough to give you that sweet “I’m a legend” feeling when you twist that throttle. Whether you’re weaving through Gurgaon traffic or taking it to the open road.

This bike doesn’t just look good, it feels good. With 790mm of seat height, it’s not some intimidating, skyscraper-high bike that’ll have you tiptoeing at the lights. This is a bike built for daily use, for the man or woman who wants to feel confident on two wheels without worrying if they’ll drop it at every stop. The low weight (around 189kg) makes it agile enough for both city commutes and weekend escapades. You'll be slicing through lanes like a pro, dodging potholes and potholes that have potholes.

And then, the design. Oh, the design.

You know a Ducati when you see one. The Scrambler Icon doesn’t scream “look at me” in an obnoxious way; it whispers, “Hey, check me out from top to bottom. I’m sleek, I’m cool and I’ve got enough style to make you the king of every café you stop at.” With its retro vibes, round headlamp and matte finishes, you’ll be the person every other rider wants to be, even if you don’t show off (who are we kidding, you totally will).

Daily use? A breeze. The Scrambler Icon’s fuel tank gives you around 13.5 litres of capacity and it is perfect for those long city commutes and weekend jaunts. You won’t be constantly looking for a gas station every other day. Plus, it has a decent 12,000 km service interval, so you’ll spend more time riding and less time at the mechanic.

And let’s not forget the tech. You’ve got a digital display, ride-by-wire throttle and a safety suite that includes cornering ABS. So, if you decide to throw some ‘maniacal cornering’ moves in, Ducati’s got your back.

Conclusion

So, there you have it, the Ducati Scrambler Icon, the beast that looks like it costs a fortune but won’t empty your wallet faster than your girlfriend in a fashion store. I know I’ve mentioned the word “affordable” but keep in mind that I’ve also added “Ducati” after that. In this price range, we can also get the Kawasaki Z900, which is obviously better than the Ducati in terms of power figures, features and price-to-performance ratio. But if you only want to own the red colour with Ducati badging, you can go for the most affordable Icon.
