This July, the new Ducati DesertX Discovery arrives at dealerships. This bike is designed for those seeking adventures on and off-road, unstoppable on any terrain.
Starting with the most visible aspect, the design is striking, combining black and red in the Thrilling Black/Ducati Red color scheme. To ensure comfort in any condition, the DesertX Discovery is equipped with reinforced handguards as standard. Heated grips and a taller windshield are also included.
The rider can choose between three riding modes for road and two modes for off-road conditions. Turn-by-turn navigation can be used via the Ducati Link app, displaying directions on the dashboard.
The chassis combines agility and precision, while the engine is a liquid-cooled Testastretta with desmodromic distribution, 937 cc of displacement, and 110 hp of power. The maximum torque, reached at 6,500 rpm, is 92 Nm. The fuel tank can hold more than 21 liters.
To ensure the bike can tackle any terrain, the standard equipment includes engine protection bars with additional protection for the water pump, a radiator grille, and reinforced sump protection. There is a central stand that enhances stability and makes it easy to access to luggage during stops and maintenance of the chain and rear wheel.
Speaking about that aspect, this adventure Ducati is equipped with aluminum panniers with a capacity of 76 liters. There is also triple homologation for the tyres, allowing them to be adapted for road or off-road use.
