The result of a collaboration between Centro Stile Ducati and Research and Development, DesertX truly embodies the ‘form follows function’ concept. Every design choice is guided by the need to ensure resistance, protection and control on the toughest terrain, for a contemporary aesthetic that instantly communicates solidity, reliability and authentic off‑road attitude.
The new DesertX is the result of intensive field testing, where every off-roading experience translates into concrete evolution: more natural control, greater usability in every situation and an even more pronounced off-road attitude, without relinquishing the pleasure and precision of road riding.
Every line of the bike responds to a real need: transforming functionality into an essential, dynamic form. The lower front end makes for a lighter and more dynamic bike where every movement is more natural, while the rear light design further emphasizes the bike’s off-road personality.
890 cc V2 twin: balance and precision.

A solid structure, a precise response. Every element of the bike has been reconceived to offer greater solidity and ease of use when off-roading and keep maintenance complications to a minimum.
