Ducati DesertX V2 bookings open ahead of India launch
The Story in Brief
Ducati has opened bookings for the DesertX V2 adventure motorcycle ahead of its India launch. The bike, teased earlier in October 2026, is expected to be priced between Rs 19 lakh and Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom). The existing DesertX Discovery is priced at Rs 23.28 lakh ex-showroom.
The DesertX V2 uses a new 890cc, 90-degree V-twin engine producing 110 hp and 92 Nm of torque, replacing the older 937cc unit. It is built on an aluminium monocoque frame with KYB suspension, Brembo brakes, and a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel. Electronics include six riding modes, cornering ABS, traction control, and a 5-inch TFT display. Ducati has not yet announced the exact launch date.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The DesertX V2 enters a lower price bracket than the existing Discovery model, making Ducati's adventure range more accessible. By replacing the steel trellis frame with an aluminium monocoque and downsizing the engine, Ducati has cut weight and likely cost. The key unresolved point is the launch date, which Ducati has not specified. Buyers will watch for official pricing confirmation and delivery timelines in the coming weeks.
