Dream Wilder
The capabilities of this bike are simply astounding
It is as much at home on the roads as it is in the rough, arduous off-road terrains. As with any new Multistrada, DesertX comes as standard with a 4 year, unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty! – Now there’s confidence for you!
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!
See what the reaction of the press following the official launch>>
Ducati really wanted to broaden its audience for the DesertX. Seat height starts at 875mm but 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 electronic package can be extended with the addition of the Ducati Multimedia system that allows Bluetooth pairing to your smartphone, allowing for calls, notifications, music management and for the addition of turn by turn sat nav guidance. All lights / indicators are Full LED.
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 21 litre tank offers exceptional range, however there is scope to add an additional 8 litre tank (which is another accessory item that is available) to ensure that the Ducati DesertX can explore the areas that others can only dream of.
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.
Testastretta 11° engine
Fluid delivery, full and increased torque curve
Thanks to high maximum power and torque values, fluid delivery and a full torque curve at all speeds, the new DesertX’s Watercooled Testastretta 11° engine can guarantee performance and agility to the rider. 110 bhp, with 68 ft lb of torque, this powerplant oozes versatility.
Maintenance intervals – 9000 miles or bi-annual for oil service, 18,000 miles for valve clearance service. “Adventurous” intervals………

Euro 5 Compliant.
Functionality On and Off Road
Designed for comfort
Much research went into the off-road capabilities and rider comfort under these arduous conditions. The surfaces in contact with the rider are large and well connected.
This allows rider movement in all directions with the highest level of comfort and control, especially in off-road riding.
6 Rider Modes Plus Rider Assist
The Whole Safety Pack
6 Rider Modes
The versatility of the DesertX is also reflected in its Riding Modes. It has 6 modes, 2 of which are specifically dedicated to the off-road riding experience: Enduro and the brand new Rally Mode, in addition to the Sport, Touring, Urban e Wet modes.
Rider Assist
The electronic equipment is completed by a package of rider assistance systems: Traction Control, Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Control, Cornering ABS, Quickshifter Up & Down and Cruise Control, to make long distance riding even more relaxing.
Display & Connectivity

A fundamental feature for off-road use, DesertX has a ground clearance of 250 mm, which is particularly favorable for more extreme off-road riding.
Kayaba long stroke suspension – The 46mm upside-down fork and fully adjustable single shock absorber were developed with the Japanese brand Kayaba, a successful producer in the off-road world.
LED All Round
Top & Tail
The bike’s completely Full LED lighting system is ocutting edge. The double front headlight has two bi-function polyellipsoidal modules with Daytime Running Light (DRL) and has been designed to ensure excellent visibility, which is particularly important for a bike that can ride in all conditions. The tail light is equipped with the Ducati Brake Light system. In the event of emergency braking, it automatically flashes to signal the condition of sudden slowing to following vehicles, making a further contribution to rider safety.
