Ducati India has begun accepting pre-bookings for the new DesertX Rally adventure motorcycle, ahead of its launch later this year.

It gets upgrades in the form of new equipment and will carry a more premium price tag over the standard model. The standard Ducati DesertX has been on sale in India since last year.
