Similarly, the DesertX is clearly aimed at the adventure market, and Ducati has strayed even further from the stock Scrambler design. Claudio Domenicali explained in his presentation that the DesertX will make use of the 1,079cc L-twin engine platform, and its design is meant to invoke the spirit of ’90s rally bikes, specifically the Cagiva Elefant. And its shrouds, windscreen, fuel tank, seat, rear rack, tailsection, tires, and engine protection all suggest this bike will be a blast off road.
