Our first Rotomolding project!
Over the past year we have received a very large number of inquires regarding our Carbon Fiber fuel tank for the DesertX, following its race proven use in events such as NORRA 1000, Hellas Rally and others.
Due to the nature of the Carbon tank manufacturing method, we cannot reliably scale up the production to meet the overwhelming demand. Each CF tank is hand made, and we cannot meet the demand. For this reason we have decided to move forward with an alternative solution: A high performance 4mm thick XLPE tank with the same design and better OEM compatibility and performance.
Our first Rotomolding project!
To move forward with production, we need to manufacture the tooling. This means committing to the mold upfront.
To unlock that, we’re opening pre-orders with a €1,300 deposit, which goes directly toward the mold and production setup.
This deposit allows us to:
• finalize the mold
• start production with confidence
• deliver the tank faster and in proper volumes
By placing a deposit, you’re not just pre-ordering a product — you’re directly helping bring it into production.
We truly appreciate the trust and support. This project exists because of the DesertX community, and we’re building it together.
PRE-ORDER now CLOSED
The project has already started and batch #1 is sold out. Batch #2 coming soon!

What's in the box
Our first Rotomolding project!
This project marks the start of a new era for Aurora Rally Equipment. We have joined forces with a reliable manufacturer, Ryan Adventure to create a unique tank for your Ducati DesertX. A plastic tank with unmatched reliability and performance in black colour. We are looking into having a clear line for the fuel level, but this is to be determined.
KEY FEATURES
R&D!
The Rotomolded Tank reflects our decade-long pursuit of excellence. Our continuing search for new ways to improve performance and reliability of our parts. Through countless tests and design iterations, we refined every detail—from the tank to the QCS air intake—to achieve the perfect balance of strength, weight, and performance. The result is not just a product, but a milestone that redefines standards in rally engineering.
DEVELOPMENT
We set out to create the ultimate DesertX tank—combining ergonomics, durability, and unmatched practicality.
Developed with RYAN Adventure and Aurora, this all-carbon tank features a unique through-hole for effortless, single-handed air filter changes. Remove the first stage, and it doubles as spacious storage, blending precision engineering with real-world versatility to redefine rally performance.
This tank is built from advanced composite materials and developed for racing use in controlled environments. While carefully designed and tested for maximum safety, the nature of the part means that in certain crashes the tank could be damaged. It is not TUV/MOT approved, so for inspections or use on public roads you’ll need to revert to the standard configuration.
By installing this kit you will make the OEM setup 3-4kg lighter which assist in fuel management and agility. That's an approximation, we will know more once the mold has been completed.
During high pollution situations (desert, rain, dust etc.) you can close the air intake by using our provided cover. Even if you leave it open, it will not cause problems,
but as now more dust is directed to the air filter the system will be overloaded with dust. Our unique cover design allows cool air to come through whilst repelling dust and water.
Strictly speaking the tank maintains the legal 2 year warranty. However, we trust the material and the manufacturer and we are happy to give a 5 years warranty to our new Dx tank!
Accidents do happen, even though we can provide you with tank protectors (at extra cost) no item is completely bullet proof. If you send us an email we will be happy to help you arrange the repair or replacement of your tank.
