When Ducati first introduced the DesertX, it not an overstatement to say that it made a lot of riders’ dreams come true. Those clamoring for a bike with more serious off-road capability finally got what they wanted—and in, as per Ducati’s usual styling standards, a rather attractive package. A 21-inch front wheel was only the beginning. For 2023, the DesertX just became Ducati’s first model to get integrated turn-by-turn navigation.
Utilizing the Ducati Multimedia System’s Bluetooth connection to your smartphone of choice, the latest version of the Ducati Link phone app and a user license activation are needed if you want to display Turn-By-Turn nav on your DesertX. From there, all you have to do is input a destination of your choosing. If you have a Bluetooth helmet communicator also hooked up, you’ll hear navigation instructions in your ears, as well as see the turn-by-turn navigation show up on your display.
