Ducati DesertX Discovery – How is it different from its stablemates?

Being a hardcore touring adventure version of the DesertX, the Discovery variant comes packed with the following additional features and accessories for enhanced touring capabilities and durability: –

  • Reinforced handguards for an added layer of protection for the rider’s hands and controls, especially on rough terrains.
  • Engine guard to protect the engine from potential impacts and damage.
  • Aluminium sump guard to shield the engine’s oil sump from rocks, debris and other objects.
  • Heated grips to keep the rider’s hands warm in colder riding conditions.
  • Larger windshield to reduce wind blast on the rider’s face and upper body, thus minimising fatigue on long rides.
  • Centre stand to help in parking the bike on uneven surfaces. It also helps in maintenance tasks, such as chain lubrication and tyre checks.
  • Radiator protector to guard the radiator against damage.
  • Aluminium adventure side cases, with a total capacity of 76 litres.
  • A 5-year subscription of turn-by-turn navigation.

Aside from the above additions, Ducati also offers the bike in a special Thrilling Black/Red livery.
