Ducati DesertX Price and Specifications
We just had an exclusive test ride on Ducati's $100,000 Superleggera V4, but it's not the only remarkable ride in the company's range. Ducati presented a new lineup of motorcycles for 2022, including the long-awaited DesertX. The DesertX is Ducati's first significant push into the off-road experience, immersing riders in the spirit of Dakar racing. The bike has a 21-inch front tyre and an 18-inch rear wheel, long stroke suspension, and a redesigned frame developed exclusively for dirt ripping.
Details About Ducati DesertX
The DesertX is powered by the most recent development of the water-cooled 937cc Desmodromic 11° Testastretta engine, which produces 110 horsepower and 67.5 lb-ft of torque. Rally and Enduro (both devoted to off-road riding) modes, as well as Sport, Touring, Urban, and Wet modes, are provided by advanced electronics. When coupled with a phone, the DesertX has a high-resolution five-inch colour TFT (thin-film transistor) display that enables capabilities including turn-by-turn navigation. The DesertX will be available at North American dealerships.
