With 110 hp of power, it guarantees 70% of maximum torque already at 3000 rpm. This characteristic is fundamental off-road, where at the first touch of the throttle, the torque immediately helps to overcome obstacles, while ensuring real riding pleasure on the road. \u003chr class=\"tooltip__divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eFunctional design and off-road stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003eThe new design underscores the shift towards a more modern and overtly off-road character, where form follows function in every detail. Each element is designed to be sturdy and functional, from the new position of the air filter that simplifies and speeds up cleaning operations, to the tank with replaceable covers, designed to make repairs after a crash simpler and more economically sustainable. A design choice that transforms the aesthetic into a concrete benefit during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"tooltip__divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eCustom-designed chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003eThe DesertX chassis is redesigned to offer more neutral, easy and intuitive off-road riding. The cast aluminum monocoque structure, designed specifically for this model, serves as both frame and airbox, exploiting the V2 engine as a structural element. At the rear, the steel subframe retains the steel trellis tube structure, integrating the shock linkage and simplifying maintenance operations. To ensure greater stability off-road, the steering is now lighter and helps reduce any inadvertent front-end movement at high speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"tooltip__divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eRedesigned ergonomics\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe riding position allows for very natural off-road riding, with a wide handlebar, a bike that is narrow between the legs, and a sense of lightness that heightens control. The new ergonomic setup, which sees the footpegs set back and the seat and handlebar shifted forwards, encourages a more active, precise posture that is ideal through technical sections. The narrower 4.8 gal tank facilitates movement in the seat, while integrated crash pads protect the bike even during low-speed crashes, for a more relaxed off‑road experience.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/5547\/8562\/files\/2_280c8349-3978-429d-94db-f3c3d09f45b2.jpg?v=1790260174\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"tooltip__divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eNew dash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003eThe horizontal dash, complete with utility bar as standard, frees up space on the upper part of the fairing for the installation of navigation tools and ensures a better visual of the area immediately in front of the bike, allowing the rider to more easily identify any off-road obstacles when up on the pegs. The dash is completed with a new 5” TFT with 3 info modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"tooltip__divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eBenchmark electronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003eThe DesertX integrates a latest-generation electronics package based on a 6-axis inertial platform and designed specifically for off-road use. Six available Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, Wet, Enduro and Rally) offer a segment-topping level of customization. The electronics controls can be adjusted according to different levels or disabled, to adapt the bike to different riding styles, levels of experience, and conditions, even during the most demanding off-road conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"tooltip__divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eNew Kayaba Fork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003eThe fully adjustable 46mm front fork is designed to adapt to the needs of every rider and every type of terrain. The hydraulic compression and rebound damping is now adjustable on both cartridges, allowing for more precise tuning and superior response control. The internal structure has been refined to improve sliding and bump absorption, allowing the DesertX to better copy the roughness of the terrain and making riding easier, more intuitive and less tiring thanks to the reduction in stress transmitted to the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"tooltip__divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eProgressive Cinematics Rear Suspension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003eThe most significant evolution concerns the rear suspension, which adopts a new full floater system capable of ensuring progressive behavior. Unlike traditional suspension, where force increases linearly with compression, this solution allows for increased support as the suspension works, offering a softer response in the early part of the stroke and more sustained support when high forces come into play. In this way, the DesertX better absorbs bumps without sacrificing control, ensuring comfort and stability both on and off-road, on all types of terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/5547\/8562\/files\/3_74886358-a6a7-4fd5-b56b-2cf91133d10d.jpg?v=1790260326\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eWheels and tires\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content\"\u003eDesertX adopts tubeless spoked wheels measuring 21” at the front and 18” at the rear, the ideal configuration for confident off-road riding. The Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, measuring 90\/90 and 150\/70, offer the perfect balance for all-round use, ensuring grip, stability and versatility on any surface. Thanks to triple homologation, the rider can also choose alternative solutions to further emphasize the bike’s off-road or road-going performance, adapting it to their specific needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"content\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6315%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisplacement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0107%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e \u003cspan\u003e890 cc (54,3 cu in)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6315%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePower\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0107%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003e110,3 hp (81,1 kW) @ 9.000 rpm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6315%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTorque\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0107%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003e92 Nm (9,4 kgm, 68 lb ft) @ 7.000 rpm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6315%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWet weight no fuel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0107%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003e209 kg (461 lb)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6315%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeat Height\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0107%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003e880 mm (34.6 in) 900 mm (35.4 in) with high seat 860 mm (33.9 in) with low seat 840 mm (33.1 in) with low seat and low suspension kit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6315%;\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"term\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eValve Clearance Check\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0107%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003e45.000 km (28.000 mi)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour out-the-door price will be the listed MSRP plus freight from Italy - $17,990\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eONLY at Kaplan Cycles, you can enjoy FREE Professional Setup and Zero Surprise Document Fees.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFINANCING IS AVAILABLE!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWHITE-GLOVE DELIVERY IS AVAILABLE!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCall Ken Jr 860-471-0192.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ducati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50454838542370,"sku":null,"price":15126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/5547\/8562\/files\/1_770f630a-9734-465d-bc5e-f5a692e00d67.webp?v=1790259548","url":"https:\/\/kaplancycles.com\/products\/2027-ducati-desertx","provider":"Kaplan Cycles LLC ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
