DesertX Press Reviews

Ducati DesertX

When the original DesertX launched in 2022 it broke new ground, literally – taking the Ducati off-road game to a whole new level while still having a level of poise to take on-road riding in its stride. Now, after years of blazing new trails and allowing riders to embark on all-new adventures the Dakar inspired original makes way for the new 890cc V2 powered DesertX.

Along with it comes a host of ergonomic and electronic upgrades, a natural evolution of extensive field testing and development – the new DesertX fully embodies an authentic off‑road attitude with real world riding capability. The press took it for a spin in the varied terrain of Almeria, Spain, check out the reviews below and see if it came up to scratch. Available to test ride now at your local Ducati Store – map and compass optional!

Alastair Fagan - 44Teeth

''this is damn good. Ducati has hit the jackpot with the DesertX and its off-road ability. Its just as comfortable ripping trails as it is scratching pegs on the tarmac.''
