Description & Specification


Dream Wilder. Discover.

Exploration. Fun. Performance. And a real craving to set off and head for the horizon. The identity of this bike leaves no doubt – just one look will have you dreaming of adventure. And with the DesertX Discovery trim, you are even freer to explore the unexplored, no holds barred.

Get set for adventure.

Equipped with a 21” front and 18” rear wheel, the new DesertX is designed to handle even the most challenging off-road terrain. Ducati has combined its road expertise with dedicated off-road development to create a responsive, easy-to-handle bike that is at ease on all types of trail and asphalt.

Post-heritage and digital

The Centro Stile faced a totally new challenge with DesertX, seizing the opportunity to experiment with a new design language and seeking inspiration from the world of African rally raids.
The result is a sturdy, clean, modern design, based on shapes from the off-road world. A bike that wants to be robust, solid, and functional at the same time.
