Ducati DesertX Discovery Launched at Rs 21.78 Lakh
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.
Spec Comparo: Royal Enfield Scram 440 v Suzuki V-Strom SX v Yezdi Adventure
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. Even Suzuki couldn’t do that when they were upgrading their legendary DRZ400, but Suzuki does make a bike in India, which posts very similar power and torque figures while costing nearly the same—the Suzuki V-Strom SX, also called the V-Strom 250 in some markets. Interestingly, there is yet another motorcycle in that sub-2.2 lakh price range—the Yezdi Adventure, which recently received a host of updates. So we thought that all three bikes cater to the touring clientele while possessing different degrees of off-road cred and costing nearly the same, so why not compare them to see what’s what?
