Exploration. Fun. Performance. And a real craving to set off and head for the horizon. The identity of this bike leaves no doubt - just one look will have you dreaming of adventure. And with the DesertX Discovery trim, you are even freer to explore the unexplored, no holds barred.
Equipped with a 21” front and 18” rear wheel, the new DesertX is designed to handle even the most challenging off-road terrain. Ducati has combined its road expertise with dedicated off-road development to create a responsive, easy-to-handle bike that is at ease on all types of trail and asphalt.
The Centro Stile faced a totally new challenge with DesertX, seizing the opportunity to experiment with a new design language and seeking inspiration from the world of African rally raids. The result is a sturdy, clean, modern design, based on shapes from the off-road world. A bike that wants to be robust, solid, and functional at the same time.
