DUCATI STUNS AT EICMA
D
ucati has taken the wraps off
seven new models for their
2016 range, three of which are
all-new: the Scrambler Sixty2,
XDiavel and Multistrada 1200
Enduro.
Ducati CEO Claudio Domeni-
cali, three-time World Superbike
Champion Troy Bayliss, Ducati
MotoGP riders Andrea Ian-
none and Andrea Dovizioso and
Ducati World Superbike rider
Davide Giugliano were on hand
to unveil the new line up to the
world press at the 2015 EICMA
Show in Milan, Italy, which also
included revisions to the Hyper-
motard, Hypermotard SP and
Hyperstrada models, a second
new Scrambler in the Scrambler
Flat Track, a new Ducati Multi-
strada Pikes Peak edition and
the new 959 Panigale, a ma-
chine Cycle News will be testing
in Valencia, Spain, next week.
The Scrambler Sixty2 was
one of the stars of the show as
Ducati continues its push for
new riders that, until now, had
to ride at least a 600cc-plus
machine if they wanted to start
riding a Ducati. The Sixty2 is
powered by a 399cc, 41 horse-
power desmodromic air-cooled
L-twin, with styling largely
identical to its larger capacity
siblings in the Scrambler range.
Its Sixty2 moniker is drawn from
1962, the year of the first Ducati
Scrambler.
The company also took the
wraps off its long-awaited off-
road Multistrada, labeled the
1200 Enduro. Far from just a
Multistrada with knobby tires,
the new 1200 Enduro is a com-
pletely reworked machine de-
signed primarily for off-road use
with 19-inch front and 17-inch
rear spoked wheels, semi-active
Sachs suspension and a 7.9-gal-
lon fuel tank Ducati is claiming
will get up to 280 miles per tank.
The new Multistrada is the first
