Ducati DesertX Discovery 2025

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 27 June 2024 – Ducati has unveiled the highly anticipated DesertX Discovery, a motorcycle engineered to tackle any adventure with unparalleled performance and style. Set to hit dealerships in July 2024; this model redefines the adventure biking experience with its robust design and comprehensive features.

The DesertX Discovery stands out with its striking new Thrilling Black/Ducati Red livery, ensuring it captures attention both on and off the road. This bold aesthetic is complemented by a suite of accessories that make it ready for any journey, regardless of terrain.

Unstoppable on Any Terrain

Designed to be a true all-terrain companion, the DesertX Discovery comes equipped with reinforced hand guards, an engine guard with water pump protection, a radiator grill, and a reinforced sump guard. These features ensure that the bike can withstand the most challenging conditions. For added comfort during cold weather rides, heated grips, and a larger windshield are standard, while the central stand provides stability and easy access to luggage during stops and maintenance tasks.

Comfort and Control on Every Ride

The DesertX Discovery is not just about rugged capability; it also provides a comfortable and controlled riding experience. The elegant and precise chassis makes it an ideal travel companion on road routes, offering easy and intuitive handling. The turn-by-turn navigator, accessible through the Ducati Link App, improves the riding experience by displaying clear directions directly on the dashboard, ensuring riders always stay on the right path.

Versatile Performance for Every Adventure

Whether navigating mixed alpine routes or tackling dirt tracks, the DesertX Discovery’s chassis, based on a steel trellis frame with long suspension travel, offers unmatched versatility. The bike’s triple tire homologation allows riders to choose between road-oriented solutions and those better suited for off-road adventures.

At the heart of the DesertX Discovery is the 937 cc liquid-cooled Testastretta 11° desmodromic distribution engine, delivering 110 hp at 9,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 92 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine is optimized for diverse conditions, with three riding modes dedicated to road use and two specifically designed for off-road challenges. With a fuel tank capacity of over 21 liters, extended journeys with minimal refueling stops become a reality.

A Family of Adventure Bikes

The DesertX family also includes the Rally model, crafted for the most daring off-road enthusiasts participating in rally raids and competitions. The DesertX Rally features racing-derived components, making it a formidable choice for extreme terrains.

The standard Ducati DesertX 2025 continues to be available in the elegant Matt Star White Silk livery, with both the standard and Discovery versions offered in a 35 kW depowered option for A2 license holders. Ducati also introduces the “4Ever Ducati” guarantee, providing a four-year warranty with unlimited mileage, supported by the entire dealer network.
