Ducati India has taken a big step towards making ownership a lot easier by introducing its first-ever periodic maintenance contract, called Ducati Protect. The aim is simple — offer comprehensive maintenance at a reasonable price, giving customers much-needed peace of mind.
Packages
The Ducati Protect program comes in two flavours. First, there’s Ducati Protect Plus, which covers two years or 15,000km, whichever comes first. If you are looking for a longer-term plan, there’s Ducati Protect Pro, offering four years or 30,000km of coverage.
Here’s how the pricing breaks down:
Model | Ducati Protect Plus (2 Years/15,000km) | Ducati Protect Pro (4 Years/30,000km) |
---|---|---|
Monster | Rs. 25,999 | Rs. 68,999 |
Multistrada V4 (V4, V4 S, Pikes Peak, Rally) | Rs. 29,999 | Rs. 52,999 |
These packages cater to popular models like the Monster and the entire Multistrada V4 range.
Coverage
Under the Ducati Protect plans, all spare parts and labour costs for periodic, scheduled services are covered. However, it’s important to note that consumables such as brake pads, clutch plates, tyres, and a few other wear-and-tear items are not included.
Still, by locking in today’s prices, customers can protect themselves from future service cost hikes.
Transferable
One of the smartest parts about the Ducati Protect plans is that they are transferable. If you decide to sell your bike, the new owner can inherit the remaining coverage.
This not only increases the resale value of your Ducati but also makes it more attractive to prospective buyers.
Benefits
In addition to saving money, Ducati Protect helps owners maintain a clean and complete service history. Having proper service records can significantly help when it’s time to resell, by reducing depreciation and boosting buyer confidence.
Considering how expensive Ducati maintenance usually is, this initiative will definitely ease ownership worries for many customers.
Verdict
Overall, Ducati Protect seems like a win-win for both the brand and the customer. It’s a thoughtful move that shows Ducati is listening to its riders and trying to make the ownership experience smoother and more rewarding.
