Ducati unveils the all-new second-gen DesertX, completely redesigned from customer feedback and rally experience. Powered by an efficient 890cc V2 engine, this rally-bred middleweight ADV promises sharper handling, lower CG, and Q4 2026 India arrival.

Rear monoshock with full-floater linkage: 220mm travel

Brembo M4.32 monoblocs + 305mm front discs

Ergonomics refined: rear-set pegs, forward bars/seat, slimmer 18L tank lowers CG. Seat 880mm (low kit drops to 840mm).

Electronics Arsenal
6-axis IMU enables 6 riding modes (Sport/Touring/Urban/Wet/Enduro/Rally), cornering ABS/TC/wheelie/engine brake control, quickshifter, cruise control, 5-inch TFT display.
