Context
Why does this story matter?
The Scrambler range of motorcycles was originally made for the US market in the early 1960s and it gained popularity as a flat-track racing bike. Ducati revived the moniker in 2015 as a retro-inspired dual-sport offering with either a 803cc or 1,079cc L-twin engine with traditional Desmodromic valves. The 2022 Urban Motard rivals the Triumph Street Scrambler and BMW R nineT Scrambler in India.

The motorcycle sports round LED headlamp and wire-spoke wheels
The 2022 Ducati Scrambler Urban Motard flaunts a sculpted 13.5 fuel tank with a dual-tone paint scheme and Graffiti style graphics, a round LED headlamp with integrated DRL, a wide handlebar, a flat single-piece seat, dual-barrel exhaust, and sleek LED taillight. It packs an LCD instrument console with connectivity options. The bike rides on 17-inch wire-spoke wheels wrapped with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires.
