The Ducati DesertX Discovery has been launched in India, priced at Rs 21.78 lakh (ex-showroom). This is the third variant of DesertX to reach India; after the regular DesertX (Rs 18.33 lakh) launched in December 2022 and the DesertX Rally (Rs 23.71 lakh) which was launched in April 2024. The price premium of the Ducati DesertX Discovery over the regular DesertX is thus a substantial Rs 3.45 lakh.

The Royal Enfield Scram 440 came out of nowhere, and Royal Enfield have done some serious engineering on this bike while upgrading it from the Scram 411, as it now sports a six-speed gearbox.

Interestingly, there is yet another motorcycle in that sub-2.2 lakh price range—the Yezdi Adventure, which recently received a host of updates.
