The 2022 Ducati Scrambler Urban Motard is the newest addition to the Scrambler range by Ducati in India. The bike is aimed more at city riding, and thus has been given specific change to facilitate riding in the urban environment. These changes including a new paint scheme, a different wheel, new features and other changes. Let’s take a look at what is different.

The bike now has 17-inch spoked wheels instead of the 18-inch wheels before, which are clothed in road-centric Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres that help city performance. The Urban Motard has been given a new paint livery from the Centro Stile Ducati, incorporating the Star White Silk and Ducati GP '19 Red colour in a retro design.
