Ducati's serious adventure bike 'DesertX' has been revamped into the new 'DesertX V2', powered by an 890cc V-twin. The lightweight twin produces 110hp and delivers 70% of peak torque from 3,000rpm, paired with a newly designed monocoque frame and tubeless spoked wheels (21-inch front, 18-inch rear). It has also been launched in Indonesia.

A cast aluminum monocoque integrating the frame and airbox, this is guaranteed to keep me up all night. The 890 V2 is the lightest twin in Ducati history, and even the aerodynamic 20mm front drop shows no compromise. A 6-axis IMU, 6 modes, an 18L resin tank — every piece of equipment carries a philosophy. I'm dying to line it up against the old DesertX and talk through the differences.

A proper ADV at 890cc and 110hp is exactly what I want for touring. How much luggage can it carry?

True to its name, it fits the desert perfectly. Want to ride long distance to that 890cc V-twin's pulse.

Okay, 110hp, got it. But what about the weight and fuel tank capacity? For an ADV, range is everything.

If you want serious off-road, isn't the Ténéré 700 just as good? It doesn't break and it's cheaper. Ducati's job here is just looking good.

Don't need 110hp, just want it cheaper. A Ducati ADV makes me shudder thinking about inspection and maintenance.

The DesertX looks amazing but it's heavy. Even with the V2 shedding weight, it'll probably be a handful on the trails.
