SW-Motech has released an extensive range of protective products for Ducati’s DesertX adventure bike. Tellingly, the press release references the danger of car park drops before the risks of pranging it on the trail – they certainly know their market. The range includes an upper crash bar made from powder coated steel tube to guard the fairing and fuel tank (SRP £198.72) and an engine guard which protects the sump and cylinder casing made from 4mm aluminium sheet (£293.76). There is also a CNC milled alloy cover for the water pump (SRP £94.96), polyamide sliders for the front axle (SRP £67.96) and aluminium handguards with replaceable polypropylene shells (SRP £147.95). To improve practicality, and to reduce the chance of dropping the bike, there is also a centre stand (£211.68) and an alloy sidestand foot extender (£54.95).
