The Ducati DesertX Rally gets several upgrades over the standard DesertX - currently on sale in India.

Ducati India has started accepting pre-bookings for the new DesertX Rally. The off-road-focused adventure bike will be launched later this year.

The Ducati DesertX Rally gets several upgrades over the standard DesertX - currently on sale in India. The bike features a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheel, KYB upside-down front forks and a mono-shock at the rear with 20 mm of additional suspension travel at both ends.

The DesertX Rally also gets a raised front fender, forged carbon sump guard, machined gear pedals and rear brake lever.

The DesertX Rally is powered by the same 937cc Testrastretta twin-cylinder engine as the standard version. This engine produces 108 BHP @ 9,250 rpm and 92 Nm @ 6,500 rpm.

The bike has six riding modes: Urban, Sport, Touring, Wet, Enduro and Rally. Other features include traction control, wheelie control, cornering ABS and a 5-inch digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity.
