Ducati Urban Motard India launch just around the corner: What to expect
Ducati India is gearing up for the launch of several new models including the Scrambler Urban Motard which is likely to be the most immediate introduction from the luxury bikemaker in the country. While there is no official indication on the specific launch date, the bike is expected to go on sale this June.
The bike has already gone on sale in the international market so most of the details are already known at the moment. On the outside, it gets a Star White Silk with Ducati GP '19 Red and black graphics which can be seen over its fuel tank. It sports a red front mudguard that has been placed in a typical Scrambler manner. Other key highlights include its flat seat, low handlebar, and side-mounted number plate. It rolls on 17-inch spoked wheels that come shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres.

The wide handlebar along with the flat seat of the motorcycle appears to have been inspired by the Supermoto style motorcycles. The use of the bold white and orange colours gives the motorcycle a very contemporary and unique look.
