Ducati introduces exchange program offering benefits of up to ₹1.50 lakh

Ducati enthusiasts have something exciting to look forward to as the Italian manufacturer gears up to launch the DesertX Rally and a new livery for the Panigale V2. Bookings for both motorcycles are now open at Ducati dealerships, although the prices have not yet been disclosed. The standard DesertX is priced at ₹18.33 lakh, while the red livery version of the Panigale V2 costs ₹20.68 lakh, both prices are ex-showroom.

The DesertX Rally is a rugged version of the DesertX motorcycle, equipped with a 21-inch front rim and 18-inch rear. Tested on various racetracks and the challenging Erzberg Rodeo 2023, the Rally boasts a fresh new livery, a beak-like mudguard, and an upgraded suspension setup for increased travel. Despite enhancements like a forged carbon sump guard and machined gear pedals, the Rally version only weighs 1 kg more than the standard DesertX.

In contrast, the Panigale V2 receives a new black-on-black livery with red accents on the wheels and badging. Powered by a 955 cc L-twin engine known as Superquadro, it delivers 152 bhp of maximum power at 10,750 rpm and a peak torque of 104 Nm at 9,000 rpm. The motorcycle is equipped with a 6-speed gearbox, Ducati Quick Shift bi-directional quickshifter, and a slipper clutch.

Ducati enthusiasts can anticipate thrilling rides with the upcoming DesertX Rally and the stylish new livery for the Panigale V2. Stay tuned for further updates on the launch date and pricing details.
