Ducati has unveiled the 2027 Ducati DesertX Rally at EICMA 2026 in Milan. The bike uses an 890cc 90 degree V2 engine that makes 110bhp and 92Nm.

Quick answer

  • Engine: 890cc V2, 110bhp and 92Nm
  • Suspension: 48mm KYB forks with 250mm travel, KYB shock with about 240mm travel
  • Ride modes include Enduro and Rally
  • Global sales start in 2027, from April in Europe; India not confirmed

Also, for Indian riders, there is no launch date yet. The previous DesertX Rally launched here in 2024 at Rs 23.7 lakh, so that is the only price reference. However, Ducati has not said what the new bike will cost in India.

What is new on the Ducati DesertX Rally

So, the engine is tuned for low and mid range pull, which suits off road riding. The chassis is an aluminium monocoque, according to CarHP. Suspension comes from KYB, with 48mm forks and about 240mm of rear travel.

Ride modes

Still, the bike adds Enduro and Rally ride modes. These change how the electronics respond on loose surfaces. So riders get more control when the road ends.

Will it come to India?

An Autocar India list includes the bike but gives no India timing. Other EICMA bikes have clearer paths, such as the Italjet Dragster, which is set for India Bike Week.

Why this matters

Premium adventure bikes are a small but growing segment in India. Rally focused machines like this show where rivals may head next. However, until Ducati confirms plans, the Ducati DesertX Rally is one to watch, not one to book.
