SW-Motech has announced a hard luggage set designed specifically for the Ducati DesertX and DesertX Rally. It adds a combined 115 liters of capacity, suited for serious long-distance touring. It's a purpose-built accessory that further boosts the adventure bike's practicality.
115L of cargo capacity is an irresistible number for anyone doing long trips. When you're spreading out a map and planning a multi-night journey, whether you can pack it all is a make-or-break question. It's also great that the dedicated design doesn't throw off the bike's balance. Loading a full tent kit and heading from a roadside station toward an unfamiliar mountain pass — this gear sharpens that whole picture.

Is the DesertX Rally's suspension and chassis actually quite different from the standard DesertX?
Right, the Rally is the grade with suspension and chassis tuned more toward off-road performance.
Bugs me that the article doesn't give the actual weight or price.
For the same ADV, wonder which gives better value, the factory-option cases or a purpose-built third-party set.
Loading up 115L would add quite a bit of weight, wonder how much that ends up affecting the DesertX's off-road performance.
A purpose-built SW-Motech design, the fitting precision gives real peace of mind for an aftermarket part.
Adding 115L of capacity is more than enough to go all-in on long-distance touring with the DesertX.
A full 115L case set sounds like a pretty big expense, but for serious touring riders it's probably a necessary cost.
