Here comes the 2024 Ducati Desert X Discovery: The Desert X with all the official touring accoutrements you can shake a stick at.
It uses the stock bike as the base, which is already potent enough what with the 937cc, 90° V-Twin (Ducati insists it is an ‘L-Twin’) that produces 110 hp.
And as if that’s not enough, you have adjustable KYB suspension, Brembo M50 brake calipers, 320mm brake discs up front, 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel shod with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres, and TFT display with connectivity suites. As standard.
To bring it to the Discovery spec, Ducati added:
- Engine protectors.
- Sump guard a.k.a. bash plate.
- Reinforced hand protectors.
- Radiator protector.
- Larger touring screen.
- Heated grips.
- Centre stand.
- A pair of 76-litre aluminium adventure side cases.
And suddenly the idea of riding the bike to a remote campsite is not such a worrisome prospect.
The 2024 Ducati Desert X Discovery is priced at £17,295 (RM103,185.71), which is £2,300 (RM13,722.29) more than the standard Desert X.
But… that price is actually dearer than the standard Ducati Multistrada V4 which sells for £16,995 (RM101,394.30) in the UK.
