Expert opinion and recommendation

The Ducati Desert X is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends sporty on-road performance with exceptional off-road capability. My experience with this bike has been nothing short of impressive. On the road, it handles twisties with ease, thanks to its well-balanced chassis and fully adjustable suspension. The engine, a Testastretta 11 L twin, delivers power and torque in a refined and friendly manner, making it a joy to ride in various conditions. Off-road, the Desert X transforms into a agile and powerful machine, with its 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel providing the perfect balance for navigating challenging terrain. The six riding modes, including Enduro and Rally, offer customizable power delivery and traction control, enhancing the off-road experience. While the heavy clutch can be a bit of a nuisance in traffic, the overall package makes the Ducati Desert X one of the best adventure bikes available in India, despite its hefty price tag.

Ducati has unveiled the new DesertX Rally, a high-performance off-road motorcycle designed to tackle challenging terrain. The DesertX Rally features enhanced suspension with an additional 20mm of travel, a fully adjustable large piston shock absorber, and an adjustable Öhlins steering damper. This bike is powered by a 937cc Ducati Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder engine, producing 110 hp and 68 lb-ft of torque. I believe this bike is a game-changer for serious off-road enthusiasts, offering both power and agility.

The Ducati DesertX Rally is set to hit U.S. and Canadian dealerships in March 2024, with pricing starting at $22,995 in the U.S. and $26,295 CAD in Canada. This bike boasts advanced electronic features, including six Riding Modes and integrated Turn-by-Turn navigation. The DesertX Rally also comes with a Utility Bar for mounting a satnav and has service intervals every 9,000 miles or 24 months. I think the pricing is competitive, especially given the advanced tech and off-road capabilities.

The Ducati Desert X comes with a significant price tag in India. The ex-showroom price is around Rs. 17.91 lakh, but once you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price jumps to approximately Rs. 23 lakh. This makes it one of the more expensive adventure bikes in the market. However, considering the advanced electronics, adjustable suspension, and the comprehensive set of features it offers, the price seems justified for those who value high-performance and versatility. If youre looking for a bike that can handle both on-road and off-road adventures with ease, the Desert Xs price might be worth the investment.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

When it comes to mileage, the Ducati Desert X is not designed to be a fuel-sipper, given its powerful engine and adventure-focused design. However, it still manages to offer a respectable fuel economy. In real-world conditions, you can expect an approximate mileage of around 20-25 kml, depending on how aggressively you ride and the terrain youre on. This is relatively good considering the bikes performance capabilities. For long highway runs, the cruise control feature helps in maintaining a steady speed, which can improve fuel efficiency. Off-road, the mileage may vary more significantly due to the varied terrain and riding styles, but overall, the Desert X strikes a good balance between performance and fuel efficiency. ABOUT The Ducati Desert X is a robust and versatile adventure bike that excels in both on-road and off-road scenarios. Powered by the Testastretta 11 L twin engine, it produces 110 horsepower and ample torque, making it capable of handling a wide range of riding conditions. The bike features a full-color 5-inch TFT display, six riding modes including Urban, Touring, Sport, Enduro, and Rally, and advanced electronics such as cornering ABS, wheelie control, and traction control. The chassis and suspension are fully adjustable, providing excellent stability and control on various surfaces. With a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel, the Desert X is well-suited for off-road adventures, while its comfortable seat and wide handlebars make it equally enjoyable for long highway rides. The bike also includes features like cruise control and a quick shifter, enhancing the overall riding experience. Overall, the Ducati Desert X is a top-tier adventure bike that offers a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and off-road capability.
