2024 Ducati DesertX Rally Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Ducati's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2024 Ducati DesertX Rally features a 937 cc (57.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 110 HP (80.3 kW) at 9,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 92 Nm (67.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 117.4 HP per liter and a 2,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,250 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the DesertX Rally measures 211 kg (465 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.92 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,625 mm (64 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 375 km (233 miles) between fill-ups.

Within MotoLibrary's Ducati archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2024 to 2025, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
