DesertX Rally: the Ducati motorcycle designed for dreaming big, featuring top-of-the-line components in its category, essential for those riders seeking challenging off-road terrain, rally raids, and competitions.
DesertX Rally boasts a unique and distinctive style. Thanks to its dedicated new livery and off-road-inspired technical solutions that define its aesthetics, the DesertX Rally communicates its nature from the first glance.
Developed and tested in competitive fields, the DesertX Rally prototype took centre stage at the Iron Road Prolog at the Erzbergrodeo 2023 with Antoine Meo (multiple-time Enduro World Champion and European Supercross Champion) placing it on the top step of the twin-cylinder category podium.
Equipped with a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel, the DesertX Rally is ready to tackle any terrain. Its advanced suspension, featuring a closed-cartridge KYB fork, makes it unstoppable even in the most extreme conditions.
The six Riding Modes of the DesertX Rally (Sport, Touring, Urban, Wet, Enduro, Rally) have Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) recalibrated to suit the new chassis and for more demanding off-road use.
Whether you’re looking for off-road adventure or the competition of a rally-raid, DesertX Rally is here to help you conquer the toughest challenges and push yourself beyond every limit.
