Ducati recently launched the limited-edition Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma in India. It is a commemorative model celebrating Ducati Scrambler’s successful revival on its 10th anniversary. The Anniversary edition is limited to 500 units globally, and a select few are set to arrive in India.
The Ducati Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma is made in collaboration with the renowned Italian design house ‘Rizoma’. Founded by the Rigolio brothers near Milan in 2001, it made its name in the world of motorcycles by producing motorcycle accessories renowned for their excellent Italian craftsmanship and innovation.
The partnership with Ducati for this edition leverages Rizoma’s expertise to elevate the Scrambler’s design to an artful expression of the model, as the Ducati Managing Director for India emphasised the model is “an art piece on two wheels.”
The Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma sports a unique livery commemorating the occasion, combining Stone White, Black, and Metal Rose finishes, developed by Ducati’s Centro Stile in collaboration with Rizoma. The Metal Rose finish is a signature aesthetic exclusive to this edition, applied to Rizoma’s finely machined billet accessories.
The Rizoma machine billet accessories include: clutch and brake levers, footpegs, fuel tank cap, engine inspection covers, and handlebar components. Additional special touches unique to the 10° Anniversario Rizoma edition are the blacked-out details on the exhaust, bar-end mirrors, and mudguards.
The Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma features the same signature LED lighting setup, with distinctive DRLs and Ducati Performance LED indicators, giving it a modern yet classic presence on the road.
Mechanically, the 10° Anniversario model stays loyal to the current Scrambler platform unveiled in 2023. Powered by an 803cc L-twin Desmodue engine producing 73 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 65.2 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. In Europe, the engine complies with the Euro 5 emission standards, and in India, it is compatible with E20 fuel.
Electronically, the motorcycle is bestowed with Ducati’s standard tech, which includes ride-by-wire throttle, Ducati Quick Shift, Cornering ABS, and multiple riding modes for versatility.
The motorcycle’s chassis includes a tubular steel trellis frame paired to a Kayaba 41mm upside-down fork and a rear monoshock. Braking duties are handled by a 330mm front disc with a four-piston calliper and a 245mm rear disc, ensuring competent braking performance.
The Ducati Scrambler 10° Anniversario Rizoma edition is not your run-of-the-mill Scrambler. Not sure if any Ducati can be considered run of the mill, but the limited 500-unit production worldwide, paired with exclusive Rizoma-designed parts, makes it highly desirable for enthusiasts and is a sure-fire future classic and a collector’s piece owing to its limited numbers.
