Ducati DesertX V2: New accessories from Hepco & Becker

The range stretches from a tank crash bar and various rear racks all the way to a complete pannier system. Some products are already available, others are set to follow from calendar week 43 or are still in preparation.

Whether it's touring, everyday riding or a trip off the tarmac: Hepco & Becker has developed an extensive range of model-specific accessories for the Ducati DesertX V2. The manufacturer focuses primarily on protective components and different ways of carrying luggage. The new programme includes handguard bars and tank crash bars, a headlight guard and a bash plate, among other things. Anyone wanting to equip the Ducati for longer tours with luggage can choose from several solutions. These include the Tankring Basic, C-Bow, Easyrack, Alurack and Smartrack, as well as a luggage rack extension. A pannier rack including complete pannier sets is also planned. NOVA auxiliary lights and a side stand plate round off the range.

For the handlebar area, Hepco & Becker offers a handguard bar priced at 180 euros. It carries the part number 42127718 00 01 and is due to be available from calendar week 43. For the area around the tank and fairing, there is the SOLID tank crash bar in two colour variants. The black version costs 349 euros, the white variant 379 euros. Both versions are also set to be available from calendar week 43. In addition, a headlight guard for 180 euros and a bash plate are in preparation. Hepco & Becker has not yet named a price for the bash plate.

When it comes to luggage, Hepco & Becker offers various options. One compact solution is the Tankring Basic, which is already available. At 38 euros, it is one of the more affordable model-specific accessories in the new range. The tank ring allows compatible tank bags from the manufacturer to be used. This creates additional storage space without necessarily having to fit a rear or side rack.

The C-Bow holder is designed for mounting side luggage. According to Hepco & Becker, the version for the Ducati DesertX V2 comes with a stainless steel heat shield as part of the scope of delivery. The C-Bow carries the part number 6307718 00 01 and is listed at 272 euros. Availability is planned for calendar week 43. With this, Hepco & Becker adds a side luggage solution to the range alongside the planned classic pannier racks.

Several systems are available for carrying luggage at the rear. The Easyrack costs 249 euros, the Alurack 219 euros and the Smartrack 214 euros. All three systems are due to be available from calendar week 43. Anyone wanting to use a top case straight away can opt for a complete set. For this, Hepco & Becker combines the Smartrack with the Xcore top case. The set is offered in both black and silver. Both variants cost 429 euros each and are also set to be available from calendar week 43.

Not everyone wants to ride around with a permanently mounted top case. For a larger load surface at the rear, Hepco & Becker therefore offers a luggage rack extension. It carries the part number 8007718 00 01 and costs 200 euros. This component is also announced for calendar week 43. This creates another way of stowing travel bags or other luggage on the rear of the DesertX V2.

For larger amounts of luggage, Hepco & Becker is working on a Cutout pannier rack. The rack on its own is listed at 327 euros and is currently still in preparation. In addition, two complete Cutout sets are planned. The silver Cutout pannier rack set costs 1,328 euros, while 1,379 euros is quoted for the black version. Hepco & Becker has not yet named a specific delivery date for these products.

Besides protection and luggage, the programme also includes further accessories for the Ducati DesertX V2. These include the NOVA auxiliary lights for tube diameters from 18 to 25 millimetres. The set carries the part number 731107 and is offered for 319 euros. According to the manufacturer, the auxiliary lights are already available. A side stand plate for 59.50 euros, on the other hand, is still in preparation.

The new accessories programme covers a range of uses. Anyone wanting to fit additional protective components can start with the handguard and tank crash bars and later add the headlight guard or bash plate. On the luggage side, the range extends from tank bag through side bags and rear luggage to top case and pannier system. We've already put the current Ducati DesertX 2026 through an in-depth test on tarmac and off-road. You can find the test report here.

Hepco & Becker points out that the products shown are based on a model-specific selection by make, model, year of manufacture and type designation. Only components that have been designed specifically for the respective bike and matched to one another are displayed.

A significant part of the range is due to be available from calendar week 43. This includes the handguard bar, the two SOLID tank crash bars, C-Bow, Easyrack, Alurack, Smartrack and the luggage rack extension, among others. The Tankring Basic and the NOVA auxiliary lights are already available. Still in preparation are the headlight guard, bash plate, Cutout pannier rack, the two Cutout sets and the side stand plate. The range thus extends from the 38-euro Tankring Basic to the black Cutout pannier set for 1,379 euros. Depending on the intended use, the Ducati DesertX V2 can be equipped step by step for everyday riding, touring or carrying luggage.
