Ducati Indonesia has unveiled its new adventure bike, the DesertX V2, in Jakarta. The newly developed 890cc V-twin produces 110.3hp and 92Nm. It features a newly designed monocoque aluminum frame and the latest 6-axis IMU-based electronics, aimed at a more accessible price point.
The new 890cc V2, this is irresistible. Compared to the old model, the frame's been switched to a monocoque aluminum design, and putting out 70% of peak torque at 3,000rpm shows they leaned into low-speed manageability. The 45,000km valve inspection interval is a realistic evolution that helps maintenance cost too. The more you look at the spec, the more you realize how well thought out this bike is.

They say they're aiming for an accessible price, but packing in serious off-road-focused gear tends to push the price up anyway — same old pattern.
An official announcement in Indonesia suggests they're treating it as a key hub for their Southeast Asia rollout.
What's the 6-axis IMU actually there for?
It's a sensor that detects lean angle and acceleration/deceleration to finely control things like traction control and ABS.
It says they're aiming for an accessible price, but I'm curious just how 'accessible' that is by Ducati standards.
A newly designed monocoque aluminum frame is a pretty major change for the DesertX.
The DesertX V2 pushing past 110 hp out of 890cc — a solid power bump.
890cc — might be a platform shared with Ducati's other middleweight models.
