There's no doubt that Ducati had its eyes attack a rather totally different client once it went into production with the all-new Scrambler early last year. That client needed a bike that was fashionable and efficient, however still performance-minded and fun, and with the Scrambler (in either of its four original variants), that is what they got.

But what if 803cc's was still simply a little quite you required, and what you actually needed was all of these same attributes solely in an exceedingly lighter, even cheaper package? Well, for you, Ducati has simply introduced the Scrambler Sixty2, a 399cc-version of its already fashionable Scrambler that the manufacturer describes with words like "easy," "light," and "accessible." Ducati says that the Sixty2's 399cc L-twin engine with 72mm bore and 49mm stroke, springs directly from the engine out of the first Scrambler, however with forty one H.P. at eight,750 rev and twenty five.3 ft-lb. of force at seven,750 rev (compared to the 803's seventy five H.P. at 8250 rev and fifty pound.-ft. of force at 5750 rpm). like the larger Scrambler engine, the Sixty2's cool mill can utilize a 50mm throttle body and single contraption per cylinder, whereas providing easy seven,500 mile service intervals.

On the chassis facet, Ducati has gone ahead and swapped the Kayaba front suspension for a typical Showa fork, and designed associate all-new steel-trellis swingarm that lengthens the distance by roughly 15mm; rake and path stay at 24° and 112mm, severally. Ducati has jettisoned the 330mm brake rotor on the first Scrambler for a 320mm unit that is clamped by a 2-piston floating caliper (less power necessitates less stopping power), tho' ABS continues to return normal. Seat height remains at thirty one.1 inches, whereas claimed wet weight (all fluids and ninetieth fuel) drops six pounds, from 410 pounds on the Scrambler Icon, to 404 pounds on the Sixty2. To differentiate the Scrambler from its larger brother, Ducati has updated the paint theme and introduced the bike in 3 Sixty2-specific colors: “Atomic Tangerine,” “Ocean gray,” and "Shining Black.” MSRP for the Sixty2 is $7,995.
