DesertX is Adventurous
Perfect harmony between weight, performance and agility.
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.
Iconic design revived
Unmistakably Adventurous
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 18l fuel tank offers exceptional range, to ensure that the Ducati DesertX can explore the areas that others can only dream of. An optional auxiliary 8l tank is also available as an accessory (Not compatible with Aluminium luggage system).
