Ducati is all set to expand its adventure bike lineup by introducing the Desert X Discovery. The company has released a teaser photo that says, ‘Time to dream wilder & discover,’ which is the Desert X Discovery's tagline.

The Desert X Discovery is positioned as a fully blown adventure bike ready for long-distance and off-road riding. It gets a different black and red paint scheme and is loaded with luggage equipment. Two hard saddlebags, a large engine and fairing protection, a touring windscreen, heated grips, a center stand, and a large sump guard are standard. There’s also a turn-by-turn navigation feature that comes as standard with this bike.

This Ducati ADV gets its power from a 937cc, L-twin engine that makes 108bhp at 9,250rpm and 92Nm. It is linked to a six-speed gearbox and gets electronic rider aids such as ride modes, power modes, wheelie control, engine brake control, a bi-directional quickshifter, cruise control, and more. It rides on 46mm fully adjustable USD front forks and a KYB fully adjustable monoshock at the rear. Meanwhile, the braking hardware comprises a dual 320mm front and a single 265mm rear disc mounted on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels, respectively.

In terms of pricing, the Ducati Desert X Discovery will be positioned between the standard model and the Rally variant. So the price is expected to be around Rs 21 lakh (ex-showroom).
