Ducati DesertX Discovery - Design
Talking about its design, the DesertX Discovery stands out with its new black and red livery, adorned with replaceable decals. Additionally, the bike has been fitted with a touring windscreen, which helps reduce wind resistance and rider fatigue. For convenience, the Discovery variant includes a centre stand, which makes parking and repairing a puncture easier. Since the bike is designed for touring, it comes with aluminium cases for extra storage and a subframe for added support.

In terms of features, a notable addition in the DesertX Discovery is the turn-by-turn navigation system, which comes with a five-year licence. This is particularly useful for long-distance touring. Safety features include a bull bar to protect the fuel tank and water pump, a radiator guard to shield against debris during off-road adventures and a bash plate to safeguard the engine.
