The Ducati MIG-RR e-MTB
The E-MTB segment is a growing segment and seeing as how Motorbike riders are into adventure cycling DUCATI has tapped into this segment for riders to explore previously unreachable tough off-road terrain.
The Ducati MIG-RR e-MTB was first showcased to the public at EICMA 2018.
The MIG-RR is produced by Thok Ebikes , who are experts in both Down Hill mountain biking and BMX. The project also involved Ducati’s Design Centre and Aldo Drudi’s D-Perf (Drudi is the man behind Valentino Rossi’s iconic helmet designs).
The Ducati MIG-RR e-MTB uses FOX Factory Kashima suspension with varying degrees of travel at the front and rear. Weighing just 22.5kg in a size M with no pedals, there’s also a trick set of carbon fibre Renthal handlebars, Mavic wheels, four-caliper Shimano Saint brakes and an 11-speed Shimano XT gear set.
Powering the MIG-RR is a 250 Watt Shimano Steps E8000 motor weighing just 2.8kg – making it one of the lightest lumps in this market. Producing a staggering 51.6ftlb of torque (that’s more than a Yamaha R6) it’s powered by a 504 Watt-hour battery positioned underneath the down tube of the frame.
Expect prices in India to be in the range of INR 8-10 Lakh
