Dream Wilder
The capabilities of this bike are simply astounding
With advanced off-road capabilities, progressive rear suspension, increased lightness, and a curb weight of 451.1 lbs without fuel, the new DesertX V2 offers superior versatility and driving precision, both on and off-road.
The Ducati DesertX will for many conjure up images of the Ducati powered Cagiva Elephant of old. That is where the similarities end…. Designed and built using the latest cutting edge technology, the Ducati DesertX offers the widest range of uses of any Ducati built to date. Very much at home on the roads, the DesertX also offers the capability of letting out your more adventurous side. The 21″/18″ wheel combination gives the Ducati DesertX the ability to tackle the most rugged of terrains.
With 6 pre-set rider modes: Sport, Touring, Urban, Wet, Enduro and Rally all of which get differing levels of power, traction, wheelie control and ABS, that can all be custom tailored to suit your own requirements.
Now with a 4 year factory warranty valid Europe wide – What’s not to like!
Ducati really wanted to broaden its audience for the DesertX. Seat height can be reduced with either a lower seat option or a suspension lowering kit or even a combination of both which are available as accessory options. The narrow seat and bodywork ensure that these seat heights translate into real benefits for the rider.
The Ducati DesertX offers an upright riding position with considerably more leg room for added comfort and maneuverability when riding out of the seat. The steering angle makes low speed maneuvering a doddle.
The volumes, silhouette, tank and headlight characterise the design of the original Cagiva Elephant and remain true to the original lines of the bike born over 3 decades ago, while revisiting them with a modern flair.
The fuel tank offers exceptional range, to ensure that the Ducati DesertX can explore the areas that others can only dream of.
Powered by the new V2 IVT engine, it delivers 110 hp at 9,000 rpm and 68 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm, ensuring smoother and more immediate performance.
