DesertX Rally is more efficient off-road thanks to the new wheels that are lighter and more technical. They flaunt stronger and lighter Takasago Excel rims, carbon steel spokes and lightened billet aluminium hubs (-0,5 kg vs. DesertX complete wheelset). We chose to have an inner tube rims to have central spoked wheels that are less exposed to stones during off-road use.

The front wheel retains its 21”x2.15” size, while the rear is narrower than that of DesertX, measuring 18”x4”.

DesertX Rally is more efficient off-road thanks to its dedicated wheels, carbon sumpguard, and billet aluminium rear brake and gear level. The weight is the same as DesertX (just 1kg more), but the riding feeling is completely different.

DesertX Rally is even more efficient off road equipped with the top-notch off-road componentry. The front brake line is split, to allow for the mounting of the high mudguard. The Öhlins steering damper is adjustable and attached directly to the handlebar.

The gear lever and rear brake pedal are in billet aluminium. The sump guard is in forged carbon, more resistant than the standard version on DesertX and lighter than the version currently available as a Ducati Performance accessory for DesertX.

The plastics are mass-coloured and unpainted, so any scratches are a lot less visible. The graphics are adhesive, in thick PVC, to better protect the surfaces of the bike and ensure greater scope for customisation.

The colours and graphics of the new livery take up those of the DesertX with which Antoine Meo triumphed in the Erzbergrodeo Prologue.
