Engineered by Ducati for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2021 Ducati Desert Sled Fasthouse features a 803 cc (49 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 73 HP (53.3 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 66.2 Nm (48.8 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.9 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Desert Sled Fasthouse measures 209 kg (461 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.86 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,505 mm (59.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 250 km (155 miles) between fill-ups.
