[New car on the market] On June 10th, the new member of Ducati’s latest Scrambler Series, Scrambler Sixty2, was officially listed in China.这台400cc量级的摩托车价格为8.38万元，成为杜卡迪在国内最亲民的产品。
Scrambler Sixty2在6月10日于举办的“杜卡迪红色星球”活动期间上市。Sixty2字面的意思是“62”，这是第一代Scrambler车型诞生的年份。杜卡迪将Scrambler Sixty2定位为潮流产品，贴合街头文化，主打时尚年轻的定位，8.38万元的价格也让它成为了目前最平易近人的杜卡迪。
『Sixty2的名字无疑是为了纪念第一代Scrambler车型』
在外观方面，Scrambler Sixty2基本和Scrambler自游保持一致，特立独行的在大灯内得到保留，液晶仪表盘和均与Scrambler自游如出一辙，圆形的外后视镜，钢制油箱的专属logo是Sixty2与自游比较明显的外观差异。杜卡迪为Sixty2准备了Atomic Tangerine（原子橙）、Ocean Grey（海洋灰）和Shining Black（炫光黑） 三种车身颜色供消费者选择。
"The Logo of the fuel tank and the circular exterior rearview mirror are the unique features of the Scrambler Sixty2"
"LCD instrument, front and rear headlights are consistent with Scrambler’s self-tour"
"『Scrambler Sixty2 has three colors to choose from: atomic orange, ocean gray and dazzling black."
The car adopts air-cooled L-shaped twin cylinders, with a displacement of 399cc, which is half that of the Scrambler self-propelled tour (with a displacement of 803cc) currently on sale, and the data of 41 horsepower and 34 Nm are basically half that of the Scrambler self-propelled tour in performance. Undoubtedly, this product is more suitable for entry-level users to choose. From the actual test drive experience, the power output of Scrambler Sixty2 is very smooth and soft. For daily use, the power is enough and it is suitable for novices to control. Its exhaust sound is also much quieter than the previous Ducati products.
At the same time, the exhaust pipe design of L-type twin-cylinder engine is completely different from that of self-swimming, and it adopts the layout design of directly penetrating from the center of the car body, instead of arranging the exhaust path on the right side like Scrambler self-swimming. The exhaust path of Sixty2 is shorter and more direct, which brings another advantage that the right leg of the knight is no longer suffering from high temperature, and the engine displacement is small, so it is obviously felt that the heat generated during riding is much smaller than that of Scrambler self-swimming, and it is more comfortable to ride.
In terms of chassis, as a more entry-level car model, there are many differences between Sixty2 and Scrambler. For example, the 41mm Kayaba inverted front fork has become a 41mm vertical Showa front fork on Sixty2, and the radial four-caliper of the front wheel has also become a double-piston caliper. However, the diameter of the front brake disc of Sixty2 remains at 320mm and that of Scrambler is 330 mm. There is not much difference in the size of the brake disc, while the rear brake is.
"The front is replaced with a vertical front fork and a double piston caliper."
"The rear rocker arm is no longer a cast rocker arm, but a steel pipe type rear rocker arm is adopted."
Six-dimension 2′ s Kayaba is the same as the self-propelled rocker arm after the preload is adjusted, but the rear rocker arm is a steel tube structure, and the self-propelled rocker arm is an integrated cast rear rocker arm. The front and rear tires are still MT 60 RS series products, but the width of the standard rear tire is changed from 180mm to 160 mm. The curb weight of Sixty2 is 185 kg, which is 7.5 kg lighter than that of self-swimming, while the sitting height is still 790mm, which is suitable for drivers of 170 mm-180 mm.
Finally, talk about the price. If we look at the displacement alone, a two-cylinder motorcycle of 400cc order sells for 83,800 yuan, which is higher than expected for many people. This price can buy Harley’s Street 750 in China, and there are many 600cc motorcycles to choose from, so there is no advantage in simply talking about cost performance. It seems that the 83,800-yuan Sixty2 and Scrambler self-tour have opened a clear gap in price, but from the perspective of "threshold", 80,000 yuan is still not an "approachable" level for the domestic mainstream motorcycle market.
In North America, the price difference between Sixty2 (about $8,000) and Scrambler’s self-tour is only $500, while in Hong Kong, the price difference is HK$ 10,000, and Sixty2 sold for HK$ 99,800. Therefore, it is not only China that is "expensive". Ducati’s positioning and pricing of Sixty2 does not seem to be considered from the perspective of displacement. As far as I know, it is not a car built simply to lower the threshold, but a model positioned as a trendy product. It carries more "trendy" and "young" cultures and attitudes of "fun" and "self", and sells feelings, which has nothing to do with the displacement.
Therefore, 83,800 yuan, for you, is not a 400cc motorcycle, but a personality and a flaunt, a culture, a Scrambler and a Ducati. Yes, that’s it. (Text/Figure car home Fan Xin)
