2023 Ducati Desert - X

DREAMER WILDER.

DREAM WILDER.

Exploration. Fun. Performance. And a great desire to take and leave towards the horizon. The identity of this bike leaves no room for doubt: just looking at it, it brings you into the atmosphere of Dakar racing. DesertX is the first modern Ducati with 21 "front wheel and 18" rear, long stroke suspension, and a new frame designed specifically for the off-road experience.

POST HERITAGE AND DIGITALE
The Ducati DesertX is designed as a tool: essential and robust. Style is driven by functionality. That's why we pushed for a minimalist aesthetic.

VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT
DesertX is a versatile bike, adaptable to different context of use: it has been specifically developed to cope with the most demanding off-road riding, but it is also safe and comfortable for touring, and at home on everyday trails.

CHASSIS
21 "front and 18" rear wheels, long stroke suspension, generous ground clearance (9.8 in), and an off-road frame designed and tested to withstand the toughest conditions.

STABILITY
The versatility of DesertX is also reflected in the Riding Modes: there's 6 of them, with Enduro and Rally dedicated specifically to the off-road riding experience.

ENGINE
DesertX is equipped with the latest evolution of the 937 cc Testastretta 11th desmo, lighter by 3.7 lb compared to the previous generation, and equipped with a new gear ratio to ensure the best off-road behavior.

DESIGN
DesertX presented a completely new challenge to the Centro Stile. The opportunity to experiment with a new design language, seeking inspiration in the history of African Rally. The result is a solid, clean, modern design, based on shapes taken from the most adventurous off-road world. It is a bike that wants to be solid and functional at the same time.
