Ducati Scrambler 1100 Eliminated From India Lineup
Ducati India has updated its model lineup in the Indian market. The latest change comes in the form of the Scrambler 1100's delisting from the Indian website, marking the end of the bike's availability. The reason for the change has not been specified. However, it is likely because of the powertrain, which still needs updates to become compliant with the latest emission norms. The Ducati Scrambler 1100 was launched for Indian consumers in 2018. After 8 years of being on sale, the bike has been discontinued, probably because of its old engine, which has been in use since 2009. This is a 1079 cc L-twin, which was also employed in the Hypermotard and the Monster 1100 before the Scrambler. Although the entry-level Scrambler lineup has seen remarkable success for the Italian brand, the 1100 series has not been able to replicate that level of sales. A major factor contributing to this is its high price point, which places it among several other appealing options from both Ducati and competing brands. In the Ducati Scrambler 1100, the L-twin engine was tuned to produce 86 hp of power at 7,500 rpm and 88 Nm of peak torque while revving at 4,750 rpm. It worked in conjunction with a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. Furthermore, it was tuned to accommodate a ride-by-wire system to offer multiple rider modes and various rider aid features to meet the requirements of the scrambler. The L-twin engine comes housed in a steel trellis frame suspended on a fully adjustable 48 mm inverted fork at the front end and a monoshock at the rear end with preload and rebound adjustability. Both sourced from Ohlins. Breaking is the responsibility of a 320 mm disc at the front with a four-piston caliper at the front end and a 245 mm disc with a single-piston floating caliper at the rear end.

Royal Enfield Bear 650 Review
So when I went to pick up the Royal Enfield Bear 650, the chap tasked with the handover commented, 'I've done 80km over the weekend and fell in love with it.' Which of course you take with a grain of salt, given the guys sells these. But remove the hyperbole and it's clear he liked it. Then really doesn't surprise either because from the outset when the Interceptor (great name) and Continental dotted down six years ago, they kicked off an uptick, a surge even, in Royal Enfield sales. Why? Because they're good and great value. And with their popularity they've just been adding to the 650 twin line-up ever since. There's now a Cruiser, a Classic, the natty looking Shotgun 650 and this, the Bear 650. There's even talk of another coming, in the form of the Himalayan 650, the adventure bike of the range. They've been so successful for the brand that Royal Enfield is now selling over a million bikes per annum. Not that it is all down to the 650s; their single-cylinder offerings are even more important for overall numbers. The Indian brand, which has seen a lift in quality as well as numbers, is now a serious force to be reckoned with. It claims global leadership in the middleweight sector. So now there's this 650 beastie as well, another sharp looker that's as happy doing soft-road stuff as it is plying sealed thoroughfares or commuting. Plus it has the retro look to match, with round lights at each end, a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear, and spoked rims for that authentic Scrambler look. The one you see here is the 249 model, the most expensive in the line-up (price differs according to paint jobs which is the usual RE way). And the number refers to a famous desert race that took place 65 years ago. For roughly 40 years the Big Bear race was run in the California desert. And the last was won by a 16-year-old, 'Fast Eddie' Mulder who beat over 700 others to the finish line after 240km of hard-out racing. He, of course, was riding a Royal Enfield. So the Bear – in miniature on the tank – was the logical name for the latest addition to the 650 twin line-up. With its Scrambler styling it has the look that just seems to stop people in their tracks. Or maybe it's the 249 race plate that does that. With white bodywork and green frame, it really does look tasty. The one I picked up was brand spankers. And I couldn't for the life of me work out how to change the dash layout. It was pretty much blacked out initially, with no numbers for the rev counter and just a digital readout of speed. Eventually, after mussing with the left bar set-up lever, I discovered that pushing it up led to the main menu where we could then select the classic screen with a proper rev counter, and a few other trip data on offer. Like instantaneous fuel use that suggested around 20-25km per litre on the open road ( 4.2L/100km overall). Not bad for a bike that wasn't run in and features no air protection. Range is around 250km from its 13.7L fuel tank. The engine is LAMS legal, and has undergone a bit of a rejig for the Bear application, with no less power (35kW) but a bit more torque, up by 8Nm to 57 in total, thanks mainly to its two-into-one exhaust. Gearing is a shade shorter too, so 100 uses around 4300rpm in sixth. Put another way, 4000 is 90km/h, 4500 is 108 and 5000rpm is 120. Throughout this rev band, which is the one you use primarily out of town, the engine is virtually vibe free. And with the added torque it will pull cleanly from 2000rpm, which is 50km/h in top, handy for urban work. Best power is above about 4500rpm but good torque is on tap from 3000rpm. Compared with the last RE we rode with this engine, the Shotgun 650, the Bear 650 is noticeably quicker. That's because it carries rather less bulk (214 vs 240kg) and has shorter gearing and more torque. That makes it almost a second quicker on both performance criteria, and managed an ABS stop from 100 in 38.46m, pretty nifty for something with a single two-piston disc up front and dual purpose rubber. The front brake, caliper by Bybre works okay on its own but adding the rear, this genuinely slows well. ABS is switchable (back wheel) for off-road riding. A few other points. Unlike some tall off-road ready bikes, the seat height on this is 830mm, and it's no effort to swing a leg over. The riding position is easy with high and wide bars, and midmounted pegs. While the seat looks good, the comfort wanes some after an hour or so of riding but there's generous room for two. For learner riders and those more experienced, the handling on road is a gas. There's oodles of ground clearance and this tips into corners virtually by just weighting the pegs. Suspension is extended travel – for GC of 184mm – and fixed up front, with Showa forks while the preload adjustable long travel rear springs seem set just a bit firm at their softest, no doubt optimised for off-road work. So best to avoid the big hits on road or weight the pegs in anticipation where possible, as they can be jarring. For off-road work primarily, you'd probably want to check out the Himalayan 450 but for a mix of the two and mainly road work, the twin will be a better overall option. Bear 650 is around $2k more expensive. The dash features a tripper unit for navigation, all within the main screen, and nav is possible via Bluetoothing your smartphone. There's a USB outlet up front for device charging too. The dual-tone horn is strong, and lights are LEDs all round. We appreciated the span-adjustable levers, lightweight and positive six-speed gearbox and clear instruments, once we'd found the classic layout. Each RE we ride just seems to be better in build quality too. Our particular 249 model goes for $11,890. However, the start price is $11,490. So love at first ride? It will be for some. Gotta love the price point too. For us, after a few hundred kays, love is perhaps a big call but it's certainly a great LAMS machine (that never feels nobbled like some do), and a competent all-rounder.

Triumph Scrambler T4 Spotted Testing, A More Affordable 400X In Works?
The Scrambler 400X has been teased, and the Scrambler T4 is up for the test beds. Following the Triumph nomenclature, we expect that the Scrambler T4 is going to be an affordable iteration of the Scrambler 400X. The brand has been tight-lipped about the name and specs of its upcoming Scrambler, however, it is likely to be called Street Scrambler 400 or the Scrambler 400 RS, if not Scrambler T4. The test mule of the motorcycle has been snapped abroad, after making a brief appearance on the national road as a test vehicle. The snapped images suggest that the upcoming Triumph Scrambler T4 gets handlebars without the brace pads, the brand has also ditched the knuckle guards, which is likely to be featured in the production-ready interaction. The test mule was spotted carrying a new side body panel, shorter windscreen, and black shaded USD forks. The rear of the Scrambler T4 distinguishes it from the other Scramblers in the brand's portfolio, with a much simpler layout of the tail lights and the pillion grab rail. Scrambler T4 rear design Credit: rushlane As we expect the upcoming Scrambler, an affordable version of the 400X it is oily to feature a detuned unit that powers the 400X. The Triumph Scrambler T4 will get a 398.15cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve, DOHC single-cylinder engine, working jointly with a 6-speed gearbox that is likely to deliver 30 hp of peak power and 36 Nm of peak torque.

2025 Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle caught you attention? Here's what the motorcycle has to offer
Mechanically, Full Throttle is still driven by an air-cooled 803 cc L-twin engine paired with a six-speed gearbox. The 2025 Scrambler Full Throttle is distinguished by its aggressive black and bronze paint job that exudes flat track racing attitude. The 2025 Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle has been unveiled in India. The new Full Throttle is equipped with new design, reworked ergonomics, and a familiar 803 cc engine, aimed at riders looking for a more performance-oriented version of the Scrambler. Here's what the motorcycle has to offer. 1 2025 Ducati Scramble Full Throttle: Design The 2025 Scrambler Full Throttle stands out through its flat track racing attitude exuding black and bronze aggressive paint scheme. Bronze wheels and aggressive side number plates give an extra visual boost, and a low variable cross-section handlebar contributes to the extreme nature of the motorcycle. Ducati has honed the bike's form with a chiseled rear end and a more horizontal, but still cushioned, seat. Along with improving its looks, Ducati asserts that these improvements also enhance rider comfort and control, making it an ideal companion for both city trips and highway rides. 2 2025 Ducati Scramble Full Throttle: Features On the features side, the bike receives a 4.3-inch TFT screen for instrumentation and can support the Ducati Multimedia System for fundamental connectivity features. Ride-by-Wire technology adds two ride modes—Road and Sport—that vary throttle response. Other highlights include dual exhaust tips, LED lighting, and adjustable controls. Some components have been taken from the previous generation, with some touches being fine-tuned for improved usability. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India.
