SERDANG: Next Bike Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of Ducati motorcycles in Malaysia, launched two new variants of the popular Scrambler model, the Café Racer and Desert Sled.
Both bikes are priced at RM68,899 including GST.
“The Ducati Scrambler brand has been an excellent platform to get into the growing customisation scene here. The introduction of two new variants would elevate the scene even further”, said Group Executive Chairman of Naza World Group of Companies, Datuk Wira SM Faisal Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin.
Except the Sixty2 variant which uses a 400cc engine, the Icon, Classic and Full Throttle variants is equipped with a 803cc, L-Twin, Desmodromic powerplant that makes 73hp at 8,250rpm and 67Nm at 5,750rpm.
The two new variants joins the current Scrambler line-up.
Ducati Scrambler Café Racer
The Ducati Scrambler Café Racer, Scrambler’s interpretation of the legendary bikes that created a revolution in the motorcycle world, is an expression of free spirit and an emblem of style.
Its ‘Black Coffee’ colour brings back the 60s to today’s Land of Joy.
The typical Scrambler teardrop tank with interchangeable panels is combined with a new seat, specially designed and equipped with a seat cover for the passenger.
The handlebars with mirrors attached to the ends are typical of 60s racing; the same goes for the Termignoni exhaust with double silencer, the headlight fairing, the side number holders and the new Pirelli DiabloTM Rosso II with 17” aluminium wheels.
Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled
The name Desert Sled refers to standard motorcycles over 500 cc that were modified by riders for use in the Californian desert with knobbly tyres, reinforced suspensions, spoked wheels and engine protection plates to protect the bike against the debris of
impassable desert roads.
The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled perfectly reflects this spirit without forgetting lifestyle values, and expands the Ducati Scrambler family with a new version dedicated to off-road style.
Desert Sled inherits the Urban Enduro logo as it is its explicit evolution.
In fact, it is to its strong offroad character that we owe the new riding position characterised by a higher seat, a reinforced frame and fully adjustable suspension, the presence of a type-approved grid on the front headlight, the engine protection, and with the new Pirelli ScorpionTM Rally STR tyres with spoked wheels 19″ front/17″ rear.
