DESERTX PERFORMANCE UPGRADES FROM TERMIGNONI

To make the DesertX sound as good as it looks, Ducati is offering two factory options that take the 973cc Testastretta’s renowned rumble to an all-new level. Now available are the Termignoni-built titanium silencer and their complete racing exhaust system, which reduces weight and improves the performance through dedicated mapping and a weight-loss diet.

SLIP-ON TERMI SILENCER

Lighter than stock (thanks to a carbon fibre end-cap) and lined internally with titanium, this slip-on been developed to unleash all the wild ponies stashed inside of the DesertX. Manufactured in collaboration with Termignoni, it delivers the goods in both looks and exhaust note, plus a nice little performance boost to boot!

RRP: $3049

RACING EXHAUST (FULL SYSTEM)

Termignoni has combined all their podium-getting expertise into the DesertX Racing Exhaust System, complete with titanium liner and end-cap. The dedicated map maximises power and performance, delivering that signature Ducati growl from idle through to redline. Gains in max torque and power sit in the realm of 7%, plus a 2.5kg reduction in weight means you’ll have more tractable power at your disposal wherever you point it. Apparently aimed at ‘racing only’, but we’re sure more than a few will bolt on to prospective DesertX owners rides here in Oz. Racing includes to the Oodnadatta Pub, right?

RRP: $4356

Both options are available specced straight onto your new DesertX. To make it happen, hit up Ducati’s drool-inspiring bike configurator. Or better yet, go see it all in the flesh at one of Ducati’s flagship stores or growing dealer base Australia-wide.
