Ducati DesertX V2 Bookings Begin Ahead of India Launch: Expected Price, Engine, Features and More
Ducati has opened bookings for the new DesertX V2 in India ahead of its official launch. The Italian motorcycle manufacturer confirmed the development through its social media channels. The updated adventure motorcycle is expected to arrive in the Indian market in the coming weeks, although the company has not announced its launch date or official pricing.
The new Ducati DesertX V2 made its international debut at EICMA 2026. It features a new 890cc V-twin engine, an aluminium monocoque frame and revisions to its mechanical package.
Ducati DesertX V2: Engine & Performance
The new-generation Ducati DesertX V2 is powered by an 890cc, 90-degree V-twin engine. It replaces the 937cc Testastretta engine used in the previous-generation motorcycle.The new engine produces 110.3 hp at 9,000 rpm and 92 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. Ducati claims that the engine is 5.4kg lighter than its predecessor.
The powertrain has been revised to deliver more torque at lower engine speeds, with a focus on mid-range performance. This is expected to improve its suitability for off-road riding, where riders require accessible power delivery across different terrain conditions. The motorcycle continues to use a six-speed gearbox.

The revised chassis is one of the major changes introduced with the new generation.The motorcycle retains its long-travel suspension setup, featuring an inverted front fork and a rear monoshock. It continues to use a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel, a combination commonly found on adventure motorcycles with off-road capabilities. The braking setup comprises twin front discs with Brembo callipers and a rear disc brake.
Ducati DesertX V2: Features
The new DesertX V2 continues to offer an electronics package designed for road and off-road riding. The motorcycle gets multiple riding modes and rider assistance systems.
Key features include:
- Cornering ABS

- 5-inch colour TFT display
- Ducati Quick Shift 2.0
The electronic rider aids allow riders to adjust the motorcycle's behaviour according to riding conditions.
Ducati DesertX V2: Expected Price in India
