Post-heritage minimal

The DesertX aesthetic manages to combine a "Dakarian" flavor with a sense of the touch interface. Both post-heritage and digital.

Essential and robust

The bike is visually composed of three macro elements: a single central volume, the seat, and the windshield, which incorporates the double headlight. A robust design that blends form and function.

Designed for comfort

The surfaces in contact with the rider are expansive and well connected, allowing unhindered movement in different directions, particularly during off-road riding.
