We Chat With The Ducati’s Boss-Man About The Iconic Brand's History And Future
-
This is the tenth edition of the World Ducati Week. How does it feel?
CD: It’s very special because it is the tenth anniversary. The first one was in 1998 and actually, it was 20 years ago. When I look back, the company now is very different from what it was 20 years ago. Far bigger, but more than that, it’s much more international. In terms of markets, we have India, China, Thailand and Brazil. We are really a global company even if we are still medium sized – because it is still 1,600 people and 740 million Euro turnover. The product range is also much wider. Back then, Ducati was only sports bikes. Now, we have sports bikes, touring bikes, enduro bikes, the Scrambler and also cruisers.
TG: What has changed in the Ducati buyer from 1998 to 2018?

EASY GOING MILE MUNCHER: HERO XOOM 160
AFTER WHAT FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY, we've finally had the chance to ride the Hero Xoom 160. I was really looking forward to it — not just because it's India's first homegrown maxi-scooter, but also because it brings something unique to the table, with a style and character that leans more towards the adventure segment. Unveiled at EICMA 2024, the Xoom 160 made its India debut at the Bharat Mobility Show earlier this year, and was launched at ₹1.49 lakh. It features a new engine, stronger underpinnings, and a host of other upgrades, all aimed at competing with the likes of the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the new TVS NTorq 150. So, what’s it like from behind the handlebar? Read on to find out.
