turn-by-turn navigation

Ducati has announced that the DesertX will be equipped with Turn-by-Turn navigation in 2023, making it the first Ducati to have the feature. 

  • The DesertX is Ducati first ever fully-capable off-road motorcycle. 
  • At the heart sits the 937cc Testastretta 11-degree Desmodromic engine capable of producing 110hp @ 9,250rpm and 92Nm @ 6,500rpm.

The DesertX is the Italian’s most outstanding bike since its introduction in 2022, as it is Ducati’s first real foray into the off-road arena.

According to the Italian motorcycle company, the DesertX will display the Turn-by-Turn information on the bike’s TFT dash. Unfortunately, the new feature does not come as standard but as an added option.

 

Another update to be carried out for 2023 is a new paint option dubbed the “RR22” livery. The same livery applied to Danilo Petrucci’s DesertX that he rode in a demo last year in Sardegna. 

Meanwhile, the same Turn-by-Turn navigation system will also be available on the upcoming Diavel V4. 

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S gets new updated visuals and reworked navigation for 2023. 

  • KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is the Austrian firm most potent adventure bike. 
  • Features a big V-Twin engine capable of producing 160hp. 

That said, the 2023 1290 Super Adventure  S gets extra refinement for the new year including a revised aluminium subframe to allow seat height adjustability.

KTM also updated the navigation software with a new ‘Turn-by-Turn’ system. 

In addition, the 2023 1290 Super Adventure S can also be upgraded with KTM’s Quickshifter+ and WP Suspension Pro. 

Also, the 1290 Super Adventure S gets new colour options including an orange and black colour scheme and graded grey.

Powering the 2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is the Euro5 V-Twin LC8 engine capable of pumping 160hp and 138Nm of peak torque. 

2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S key features:

  • turn-by-turn navigation system
  • lightweight ChroMo stainless steel chassis
  • WP Semi-Active Suspension
  • Bosch 6D sensor
  • radar-assist Adaptive Cruise Control

According to KTM, the 2023 1290 Super Adventure S will be available from January 2023 onwards.
