Alpina tubeless wire spoked wheels
Alpina Raggi | MOTORBIKE PRODUCTS
Thanks for the info and web link, fully aware of the ALPINA wheels and a small group of recently launched BMW RnineT owners here in Shanghai contacted them for a group buy of tubeless wheels due to all the crap on the roads of the motherland...
Definitely checking the wheels once they get them into the country.
Following the success of the Bologna factory event dedicated to its staff, Ducati intend to also offer its "community" an exclusive premiere of the prototype Ducati Scrambler with private viewings reserved for Ducatisti at the World Ducati Week 2014.....

Got some prices back from Alpina and Faba, direct, not through a distributor
These are tubeless wire spoked wheels to fit the Sport Classic/GT1000 Frt 17" x 3.50 Rear 17 x 5.50
Faba complete assembled wheelset, black excel rims, OEM hubs. EUR850 plus shipping
If you want silver rims, they get the black rims stripped and re anodised silver, but don't guarantee the finish. Add EUR120 for that.
:Alpina complete assembled wheelset.
with Alloy rims EUR1700 plus shipping
with Carbon Matrix rims EUR1900 plus shipping
Multitude of colors.
Neither Faba or Alpina will sell the rims and spoke/nipple sets only for the sport classic, they will only sell the complete wheels. However they do sell separate wheel components for some other bikes.
:Outex rim tape USD130
Tubeless Kit for Spoke Rims Supermoto Ducati Outex | eBay
Good thread on various tubeless options
Interestingly, there are some happy Outex users, and the higher priced Alpina/Faba options haven't been without problems.
Input Needed - Tubeless Spoked Wheel Options? - Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum
I think if you like black rims, the Faba wheelset at EUR850 direct from Faba is a reasonable deal. The US distributor sells them for USD1800.
Ideally you'd want them dropped shipped to someone in Italy/Europe who can then appropriately adjust the customs value and send them on to Asia using Poste Italiane EMS.
thanks for info, import not a problem on my side....
********************************************************************
Here we go more speculations, somehow not what I was looking forward to but the launch next month in Italy during World Ducati Week will show more...

It also doesn’t hurt when you have balls either, like tearing a down a new Ducati. This bike was built by Barcelona-based Ad Hoc and executed beautifully where, luckily, performance wasn’t sacrificed for coolness. Starting with a 2004 Ducati Multistrada 1000DS, Ad Hoc showcased the Ducati engineers’s talent in building a great bike by keeping with the original lines, just without the butt-ugly fairings and body work.....

Wonder how much design thought went into putting indicators on stem mirrors for off an roader.
Ducati Scrambler first official picture, well ~ sort of…​
Motorcycle marketing just seems to get weirder by the year and 2014 so far has been a doozy thanks to Yamaha's mad-as-a-bucket-of-frogs 'Revstation' and 'Master of Torque' campaigns.
And Ducati's first official reveal for its 2015 Scrambler is right up there with Yamaha's most baffling efforts; a sub-Postman-Pat quality stop-motion video series that draws on Woodstock (the festival, not Snoopy's feathered friend, although he might have inspired the Scrambler's colour scheme) and 'Back to the Future' along with some contrived story about a Ducati test rider from the future to bring us a Play-Doh model representation of the Scrambler.
Ducati's own synopsis is:
Franco, a man from 2078, is catapulted by a time machine back to the Woodstock festival of August 1969 where he meets and falls in love with both Scrambler Ducati and Elvira. T
hey joyously elope on the bike, yet before the two can even kiss the time machine hurls them forwards to the present day, to 2014.
Franco and Elvira find themselves directly in front of the fabulous "yellow container" - first visited by Ducati employees and then the enthusiasts who flocked to WDW 2014 - from which they exit astride the new Scrambler Ducati.
Riiiiight. Wonder if Hollywood has been on the phone yet with a proposal for a big-screen version of that one?
Meanwhile, the firm promises that we'll all be able to see the bike - a real version made of metal and plastic rather than plasticine - at Intermot in Cologne on September 30 this year.

Fuller’s Scrambler
What’s the best thing you can do with a vintage Ducati Scrambler? We say, ride the crap out of it. That’s what fabricator, TV-show host and hot rod builder, Bryan Fuller did with this Ducati Scrambler. He built a vintage bike with a modern twist and took it out in the mud.
Fuller was the former host of Two Guys Garage, a primarily hot rod based show, they also built cool bikes, like the killerHonda Café 750 project. Fuller loves everything mechanical and, after leaving the show opened up his own shop building rods and bikes, Fuller Hot Rods in Atlanta, Georgia. Recently Fuller began hosting Café Racer TV (which will go by a different name next year).
Fuller is very adamant about building vintage and lightweight bikes. For this project, he started with an early ‘60s DucatiScrambler, but he isn’t sure of the exact year. Nicknamed a narrow-case bike, the 250cc later featured a bigger engine case, with a wider swing-arm mounting boss, making this particular Scrambler lighter and a whole hell of a lot more desirable.
“The idea was to take an original Ducati with vintage Italian speed parts, but make it with a modern stance and logic: little tank, long travel, modern stance…” said Fuller.
The frame is mostly original with fabricated mounts to hold the dual Fox shocks. The custom swing arm was lengthened two inches and features custom sliders to adjust the chain.
Using mostly original Italian speed parts, he wanted a modern stance with traditional parts. Up front features magnesium Ceriani GP forks and triple trees along Tommaselli hand controls finishing out the front end. The wheels are original Scrambler wheels with magnesium brake drums, 21-inch in the front and 18-in in the back.
All of the bare metal, like the drums and engine case, were hard anodized and then Fuller hand finished them with Scotch-Brite pads for a more durable and worn look.
Fuller has a junkyard worth of vintage, swap-meet parts. Instead of storing them on shelves, he hangs them from the walls and ceiling around his shop. Walking through the doors, it looks like an auto gallery. So, when he built the bike he grabbed a NOS tank off the wall. He doesn’t quite remember what it came from. As soon as the bike was finished he took it off-roading keeping up with friends on far newer motorcycles. That’s where a Scrambler belongs, in the dirt.....

did u take a look at the pix below it?a Panigale with 100% dirt tires!(??) i would prob opt for 50/50 just for the rugged look that it gets (i am definetly an 'off road guy')
i find nice the stripe paint job ,a classic cafe race inspired.some of the red and white come out of Ducati that way.so is to strip it down. not tryin to be excentric or doing artwork,it's a toy anyway

Some spy shots finding their way onto the internet
From:
New spy shot of Ducati Scrambler revealed| ZigWheels.com
Last week, Ducati had given a sneak peek at the much awaited Ducati Scrambler to motorcycle fans at the 2014 World Ducati Week.
There was no unveiling as such; rather fans were given a glimpse of the Scrambler inside a 'secret room' - a similar yellow metal container which Ducati used to show the Scrambler to employees weeks ago.
Security was tight and Ducati only let in groups of eight or less inside the container to have a glimpse of the Scrambler. Cameras and even cellphones were not allowed, lest images of the Scrambler be leaked out to the outside world. That clearly has not worked as one fan managed to take a shot and post it on a Facebook fan page.
The retro yellow paint scheme looks cool and also visible is the forward cylinder of the V-twin motor, clearly confirming our earlier reports that the new Scrambler will be powered by one of Ducati's smaller air-cooled v-twin motors. The original Scrambler series bikes from the '60s and '70s were powered by single cylinder engines.

I suppose the Scrambler will be the last new model Ducati introduce that's air cooled ?
It's just the smaller Monsters that are air cooled now, and the Scrambler is using one of those motors.
Could be the last of retro style Ducatis too, unless they are liquid cooled.

This is the first official image to emerge from the Ducati factory of their all-new Scrambler. While the shot doesn’t reveal huge amounts of detail about the bike, it is clearly a close evolution of the bikes snapped by spy photographers over the past year. The most striking new detail is the headlamp design, which features a ring of light around its perimeter. Also notable is the reduced height and width of the bars compared to the prototypes.This could, however, be down to the version shown in the picture, and MCN believes there could be as many as four different versions available when the bike is released...
Cologne Show: Ducati Scrambler revealed - | Motorcycle News | New Motorbikes | Buyers Guides | MCN
• 796cc air-cooled V-twin
• 75bhp / 50.2lbft
• Four versions
• Full LCD dash
• Custom-friendly
After years of rumours, spy pictures, and multiple leaks – Ducati finally revealed the all-new Scrambler at Cologne this week.
The original Scrambler was axed in 1968, but thanks to the changing shape of the market, Ducati have taken the brave move to re-introduce retro bikes to the range, having been previously burned by their Sport Classic range being released too far ahead of rider desires.
The standard bike, which has been dubbed Icon, is supported with a three-bike range of pre-customised models, each with its own logo and distinct style.
The Full Throttle, Classic and Urban Enduro will all be available to buy as complete models, or owners can buy the parts individually to create their own particular vision according to their tastes, or finances.
At the heart of the Scrambler is the 803cc air-cooled motor from the Monster 796, wrapped in a package that has been designed completely from scratch, marrying retro styling with modern running gear and performance.
The bespoke chassis, classically-styled steel fuel tank, unique upside down forks, single shock, new swingarm, new wheels and a modern twist with advanced LED front and rear lights are all specific to the Scrambler, and two-channel ABS has also been included to appeal to new and experienced riders alike.
While the engine is sourced from the Monster 796, it doesn’t go unfettled into the Scrambler. The 88mm x 66mm bore and stroke remain, but the valve overlap has been reduced to 11 degrees, which helps to smooth the power curve to suit the nature of the bike.
In this guise the engine develops 75bhp at 8250rpm, and 50.2lbft of torque at 5750rpm. The engine also gets a single throttle body, which sits inside the airbox with the twin injectors; the only way the traditional teardrop-shaped fuel tank could work with the available space.
The price is yet to be set for the UK market, but Ducati say that the base Scrambler will cost 8000 Euros, which is likely to translate to a sub £7000 price tag in the UK, making the Ducati brand accessible to more people than ever before, and offering a serious alternative to bikes like Yamaha’s MT-09.
Lighting
At a glance the front light appears very traditional, but it’s a perfect example of how Ducati has managed to blend in the latest technology with retro styling.
The round glass headlight is ringed by an LED ‘halo’ all the way around the outside, acting as the sidelight and giving the Scrambler a distinctive look.
At the rear the 18-LED light uses 12 diodes working through a 3D diffuser to give a ‘solid’ U-shaped light, and another six brighter ones are illuminated under braking.
Clock
The round clock of the new Scrambler is reminiscent of the original bike, but is a fully LCD unit. The rev counter sweeps anti-clockwise around the bottom of the dial – just like the original, while the rest of the unit incorporates two trip meters, total mileage, fuel indicator, air temperature, maintenance reminders, clock, fuel reserve and ABS warning lights.
Other information includes engine oil pressure warning light, high beam indicator, neutral indicator, turn signal indicators, immobilizer and over-rev warning light.
Suspension
Keeping the design of the bike as simple and unfussy as possible still meant designing bespoke suspension to suit the bike.
In this case there’s a 41mm inverted fork, and a single side-mounted shock; all manufactured by Kayaba, with both front and rear units being adjustable for preload.
Wheels and tyres
All new aluminium 10-spoke wheels have a nod towards flat-track racing bikes and these are standard on the Scrambler.
The 3x18in front rim and the 5.5x17in rear have been designed to be light with a new enduro-style Pirelli MT60 RS 110/80/18 tyre at the front and a 180/55/17 at the rear; featuring a chunky tread pattern, these tyres are produced exclusively for the Scrambler.
The frame
The Ducati Scrambler features a twin spar steel trellis frame unique to the Scrambler and aimed at being stable for less experienced riders, but also taught and agile enough to keep more experiences rider engaged.
The steering head angle is 24° with a 112mm offset. The wide and high-mounted handlebars are aimed at giving newer riders plenty of control around town, and are a nod to the original bike.
Brakes
The keep-it-simple strategy for the Scrambler extends to the 330mm diameter single front brake disc, gripped by a radially-mounted four-piston Brembo monobloc caliper. A single disc was chosen for light weight, and also because it allows the front wheel to be shown off more (plus, this isn’t the highest performance machine).
At the rear a 245mm disc is gripped by a caliper with a single 32mm piston. Braking capability is backed up by a Bosch 9.1MP AMS two-channel anti-lock braking system.
Customising made easier
Ducati are making no secret of the fact this bike has been designed for owner customisation, so just like BMW did with the R nineT, they have made it as easy as possible.
Electrical connectors separate each part of the loom, the rear parts come off the bike easily, and all of the parts between the three factory customs and the standard bike are interchangeable.
The other three version
Scrambler Urban Enduro
The high front mudguard, headlight grill, handlebar cross-brace, and spoked wheels all add up to a package Ducati say is fit for the urban tussle and country roads alike with a ‘Wild Green’ paintjob, ribbed brown seat cover and fork protectors. It also gets sump guard, and a different logo on the tank.
Scrambler Full Throttle
The Full Throttle draws its inspiration from the flat-track and racing worlds, say Ducati. The ‘Deep Black’ fuel tank – which a unique logo with a yellow-black background – is also inspired by flat-track style.
The bike gets a Termignoni exhaust, certified for road use, but which is certain to add a little poke, and welcome noise to the package.
Scrambler Classic
This is the bike that’s aimed at recreating the look of the original Scrambler, with metal mudguards, a traditional numberplate mount, spoked wheels and the classic Scrambler logo on the tank.
It also gets lozenge patterned stitching on the brown seat and its own tank design. It’s the most authentic of the four factory versions.

Not bad
The swingarm is a bit ugly but the rest of the styling looks good.
Non adjustable suspension (except for shock spring preload) probably means suspension upgrades required.
Looks like they'll go for around $10k in the US, I suppose that equates to ~$14k here ?

I've been back and looked at that website half a dozen times. I love the Urban Enduro, but I'm a sucker...
Yeah, like the look of the urban enduro too.
However it would pain me to get that beautiful air cooled v twin motor caked in mud, and the finned front horizontal cylinder is a grime magnet.
Most of them will never see dirt though......
Some of the most fun I've had on a motorcycle and motor-vehicles in general has involved taking inappropriate machinery places I probably shouldn't have taken it....
More great pics via Cycleworld magazine....

Looking forward seeing one sitting on a Ducati dealership floor sometime in 2014 / 2015 and a test ride is definitely in the plans....

The article finishes by mentioning the bike will be built in Thailand as well as Italy and Brazil. Hopefully that would keeps costs reasonable here.

Strange how the Full Throttle is more expensive than the Classic or Urban Enduro. US prices for these three models is the same. Any ideas?

I would like the Full Throttle. I am moving to Thailand in the next 12 months so one of these would be brilliant. In fact, I've just logged on to see whether these will be for sale in Thailand. I didn't even know Ducati had a factory in Thailand until yesterday, so good news on every front.
I can just see myself riding round the Golden Triangle on a Full Throttle!
