New Delhi: Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati has added turn-by-turn navigation to the Diavel V4 and DesertX models. For the system to work, the rider needs to link the official Ducati smartphone app to the instrument panel of the motorcycle.

Both new and returning customers can purchase this feature as an additional option. The bike maker will soon incorporate the feature with its other products.

In the ADV and power cruiser segments, Ducati introduced the DesertX and Diavel V4 last year in global markets including India. Both the motorcycles feature powerful engines and a variety of electronic riding aids.
