Our take on this /// Verdict

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.

Price

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.

2024 Ducati Desert X on road price is Rs 20.61 lakh in Delhi, Rs 21.31 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 20.87 lakh in Kolkata, and Rs 21.13 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Ducati dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

Latest Updates

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.

This bike boasts advanced electronic features, including six Riding Modes and integrated Turn-by-Turn navigation.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 03:59 PM 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.
