Rugged Roads to Scenic Highways: The Ducati DesertX Experience 

  

THRILLS 

Built to Conquer Challenging Terrain 

The Ducati DesertX is your invitation to explore the unknown and embrace the freedom of off-road riding. Equipped with a lightweight 937 cc Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder engine, the DesertX offers powerful and agile handling crucial for off-road escapades. This is enhanced by the 21-inch/18-inch wheel combination, designed to provide the stability and control needed to tackle rocky mountain trails or forest paths easily. 

Additional off-road performance features of the DesertX include: 
 
  • 250 mm ground clearance allows you to crawl over natural elements easily. 
  • 21-litre fuel tank means you can spend more time exploring and less time refueling. 
  • Brembo brakes ensure effective braking on even the most unforgiving surfaces. 
The DesertX also comes equipped with six Riding Modes to fine-tune your ride. Two modes—Enduro and Rally—are specially crafted for off-roading. The former can reduce power to enhance safety while off-roading, while the latter is perfect for experienced riders since it reduces electronic controls.
