- May 15, 2025
The Ducati DesertX Rally is built for riders who crave real off-road adventure without compromising performance. At its core is the powerful 937cc Testastretta 11° L-twin engine, producing 110 hp at 9,250 rpm and 92 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. With specially tuned gear ratios and an optimized electronics package, it delivers precise throttle response and solid control across varied terrains—from loose gravel to technical mountain trails.
This Rally version takes off-road performance to the next level with race-grade components. It features a fully adjustable KYB closed-cartridge 48mm fork and a 46mm rear shock with extended travel (250 mm front, 240 mm rear). The bike sits higher than the standard DesertX with a ground clearance of 280 mm, allowing it to glide over deep ruts and rocks. Lightweight and durable Takasago Excel rims with 21″ front and 18″ rear wheels offer exceptional stability and ruggedness for hardcore trail riding.
Technology-wise, the DesertX Rally comes equipped with six riding modes, including Enduro and Rally, cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and a 5-inch color TFT screen with smartphone connectivity. The 21L fuel tank—with the option to add an auxiliary 8L rear tank—ensures long-range exploration without limits. With its rally-inspired design, advanced suspension, and top-tier electronics, the Ducati DesertX Rally is a serious machine for serious adventurers.
