New Ducati owners can activate the Ducati Protect service contract at the point of sale, pairing it with the standard warranty. This move means the first service check‑in is pre‑priced, so you won’t have to chase invoices after those 12‑month intervals.
The contract bundles spare parts, labour and lubricants for every routine service; consumables remain out of scope. It also factors in anticipated price rises, keeping the upfront fee fair over the ownership period.
If you ever decide to sell, the contract can be handed over to the next rider, with the dealer’s recorded service history forming part of the new owner’s credentials.
Competitors like Hero and Bajaj offer free service for a few years but don’t cover parts or lubricants. Ducati’s offering sits squarely in the premium segment, comparable to Yamaha’s flagship models in terms of service inclusions.
The service package first hit the market in 2026 for the initial lineup, and this extension now touches every model in the current range. Dealers across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad will roll it out in phases, with full coverage expected by September 2026. Keep an eye on pricing tiers and optional add‑ons that could further lock in your maintenance budget.
