The Ducati DesertX Discovery model costs Rs 21.78 lakh and was introduced in India. It is basically an upgraded and customized version of the original DesertX, with extra features like engine protection, a center stand, and aluminum panniers included as standard.

The already-capable DesertX serves as the foundation for the Ducati DesertX Discovery. It has extra extras including heated grips, a larger touring windscreen, aluminum panniers, and a center stand as standard to set it apart from the previous model. Additionally, the Discovery has a bash plate, radiator grill, and bullbar to further protect the DesertX’s exterior and engine.

To set itself out from the standard bike, the Discovery also has a distinctive red, black, and white color scheme. Additionally, according to Ducati, the livery is shielded against rock chips and scratches by its sticky graphics.

The Ducati DesertX Discovery and the regular and Rally both use the same 937cc Testastretta L-twin engine. The output numbers, which are rated at 110 horsepower and 92 Nm, do not alter. This engine has a bi-directional quickshifter and is paired with a six-speed gearbox. A 21-liter gasoline tank is standard on the Ducati DesertX Discovery, while an additional 8-liter fuel tank is an optional add-on.
