Ducati DesertX

While searching for a premium adventure bike with solid off-road capability and striking looks, I came across the Ducati DesertX. The DesertX has a 937cc Testastretta engine and gets a six-speed gearbox with quickshifter. It offers riding modes, long-travel suspension, and dual front disc brakes for confident control. Ducati claims the DesertX gives a mileage of around 14-15 kmpl, which is decent for its segment.
