Ducati’s DesertX Is Here To Dominate The Wild!

In the last chapter of Ducati World Premiere 2022, the brand has unveiled the new Ducati DesertX. The 2022 DesertX has been crowned Ducati’s ultimate Rally racer. This bike takes its inspiration from Ducati’s iconic motorcycles that were seen in the Rally Raids in the 90s. The new DesertX takes the golden past of Ducati and splashes it with modern elegance and technology.

Design

Being inspired by the 90s bike, the DesertX gets the same twin headlamp set up. But the new iteration gets LED lights and DRLs as well.

Ducati DesertX Front Profile

The front gets a large and upright windscreen with a broader handlebar and blackened handguards. The front mudguard is set close to the wheel. The fairings on the sides are small and give the bike a barer and more rustic look. The muscular fuel tank also carries the rustic look along with it. The bike also gets under-carriage protection. The rear is raised and slims out for better control and stability. The fairly simple and slim design coupled with the distinctly set saddle, handlebar, and foot pegs gives this bike better ergonomics.
