Bipul Chandra on people's growing interest in luxury bikes, Ducati's spate of new launches, and why Indian riders will be spoilt for choice
Bipul Chandra, managing director, Ducati IndiaÂ
After a slow 2020, with just three new launches, Ducati has already launched nine new bikes in India this year including the Diavel 1260, Streetfighter V4 and Scrambler Nightshift. Their latest, Multistrada V4, launched on July 22, is the world’s first motorcycle equipped with a front and rear radar rider-assistance system. Besides, the Italian bike manufacturer is all set to release three more new bikes in India by the end of the year—the XDiavel, Monster, and SuperSport—all BS6 (the sixth emission benchmark in reducing pollution levels) compliant.
