Introducing the 2020 Ducati Scrambler DesertX Concept: A Vision of Adventure The 2020 Ducati Scrambler DesertX Concept is a striking prototype that embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration, positioning itself as a formidable contender in the modern scrambler category. Designed for those who seek an exhilarating ride both on and off the beaten path, it captures the essence of Ducati's iconic scrambler heritage while embracing contemporary design elements. With its rugged aesthetics, this prototype not only tantalizes enthusiasts but also hints at Ducati’s ambition to expand its off-road capabilities, making it a compelling choice for riders who crave versatility and style. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Scrambler DesertX lies a robust 1079cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 84 horsepower (61.3 kW). This powerplant is paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, delivering an exhilarating riding experience whether you're navigating winding mountain roads or tackling rugged trails. The air-cooled engine ensures reliability, while the advanced fuel injection system optimizes performance across varied terrains. With a generous ground clearance of 275 mm (10.8 inches) and 210 mm (8.3 inches) of front suspension travel provided by a telescopic fork, this motorcycle is equipped to handle a wide array of obstacles, promising both stability and comfort during your adventures. Key Features and Technology The Ducati Scrambler DesertX Concept is not just about performance; it boasts an array of features designed for the modern rider. The unique dual fuel tank configuration enhances its fuel capacity to an impressive 30 liters (7.93 gallons), allowing for extended journeys without frequent stops. A small windscreen offers protection against the elements, while the electric starter adds convenience to the ride. The combination of double disc front brakes and a single disc rear brake provides reliable stopping power, ensuring safety while navigating challenging terrains. Available in a striking white/red/blue color scheme, this bike is not only functional but also a head-turner. **
