Ducati India has introduced its first-ever periodic maintenance contract program, aiming to offer peace of mind to its customers at a more affordable cost. Named ‘Ducati Protect,’ the new initiative ensures Ducati owners can manage their bike’s upkeep without worrying about skyrocketing service bills over the years.
Let’s take a closer look at everything Ducati Protect offers.
Package Options
Ducati is offering two maintenance packages under the Ducati Protect program:
- Ducati Protect Plus: Covers 2 years or 15,000 km.
- Ducati Protect Pro: Covers 4 years or 30,000 km.
These packages are designed to take care of periodic scheduled maintenance, giving customers clarity on service costs upfront.
Eligible Models and Pricing
The Ducati Protect packages are currently available for the Monster and Multistrada V4 range, including the V4, V4 S, Pikes Peak, and Rally models.
Here’s a breakdown of model-wise pricing:
| Model | Ducati Protect Plus (2 yrs/15,000 km) | Ducati Protect Pro (4 yrs/30,000 km) |
|---|---|---|
| Monster | Rs 25,999 | Rs 68,999 |
| Multistrada V4 Range | Rs 29,999 | Rs 52,999 |
This means owners can now plan their ownership journey without unexpected maintenance costs creeping up later.
What’s Included
Both packages cover spare parts and labour for all scheduled services. Ducati has made these plans transferable too, meaning if you sell your motorcycle, the new owner can continue to enjoy the remaining benefits.
However, consumable items like brake pads, clutch plates, tyres, and a few others are not included under these plans. Still, for routine service and maintenance, the coverage remains extensive.
Why It’s a Smart Move
Ducatis are often seen as premium motorcycles with expensive maintenance costs, and even spares are not cheap. By offering Ducati Protect, the Italian brand is addressing one of the biggest ownership concerns — maintenance affordability.
Another big advantage is that the packages help owners lock in today’s service costs for the next few years. In addition, maintaining a proper service record will support better resale value, minimizing depreciation worries for those planning to upgrade or sell their bikes later.
All in all, Ducati Protect is a win-win for existing and new Ducati owners in India.
