About the Ducati DesertX V2
The DesertX has always been Ducati's answer to riders who want genuine off-road capability without giving up the performance and character that make a Ducati enjoyable on pavement. The new V2 takes that idea further, with a redesigned engine, chassis, and suspension package aimed at making the motorcycle more manageable when the pavement ends.
The biggest change is the new 890cc V2 engine. With 110 horsepower and 70% of its maximum torque available at just 3,000 rpm, there's plenty of usable power down low for technical riding, without sacrificing the acceleration you'd expect from a Ducati on the highway.
The redesigned aluminum monocoque frame and fully adjustable KYB suspension give the DesertX a more focused off-road setup. With a 21-inch front wheel, 18-inch rear wheel, and long-travel suspension, it's built to handle gravel roads, rocky trails, and uneven terrain rather than simply looking the part.
Ducati has also made some practical improvements. The air filter is easier to access for cleaning after dusty rides, the fuel tank features replaceable protective covers, and the updated rear suspension uses a progressive linkage for improved control over rough ground.
Six Riding Modes, including dedicated Enduro and Rally settings, allow riders to adjust the motorcycle's performance for everything from highway travel to technical dirt sections. Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, cruise control, and the updated TFT display make the DesertX equally practical when covering longer distances.
Who is it for?
The DesertX V2 is for riders who genuinely intend to take their adventure motorcycle off-road, but still want a capable and entertaining road bike.
It's particularly well suited to Colorado, where a day of riding might involve highway miles, mountain passes, forest service roads, and rocky backcountry trails. The tall seat and off-road-focused ergonomics won't suit everyone, but riders looking for a serious middleweight adventure motorcycle will appreciate what Ducati has built here.
