DesertX Press Reviews

Ducati DesertX

Discover More

Now that the sand has settled and the dust has cleared from the official press launch of one of the most anticipated models in Ducati history, get the inside scoop on what the lucky journalists think of the all-new DesertX.

DesertX reviews from the United Kingdom

See below for a round-up of the latest written and video reviews in anticipation of the DesertX carving up the UK market.

Adam Child - Bennetts

''Ducati has entered a new market with their first 21-inch front wheeled bike of the modern era and has hit the nail squarely on the head.'' Full Review

Jim Moore - MCN

''everything from sandy lanes to seriously rutted and rock-strewn hillside tracks, it’s clear that Ducati’s transition into the on/off-road world has paid off.'' Full Review
Chris Northover - Bikeworld

 ''I think this Ducati DesertX is one of the best looking Adventure bikes out there - you've got to be able to back that up with performance and this thing really does''   

Adam Child - Bennetts

  ''This bike has been so eagerly anticipated - it goes as well as it looks!'  

Mike Booth - 44Teeth

 ''It's hard to find a motorcycle that is as good off-road as it is on-road, but I think Ducati might have actually done it! This is a very, very, very good allrounder of a motorcycle, and ive been properly impressed'' 

DesertX reviews from the USA

See below for a round-up of the latest written and video reviews in anticipation of the DesertX from the USA.

The Bike Shed

"I have too many bikes on my wish-list, but when it comes to Adventure, I think this may be The One" Read More

ADV Pulse

"I’d place its off-road prowess somewhere near the top of the category" Read More

Motorcycle.com

"Even the trickier rocky climbs with ledges, the DesertX motors right up with assurance – and that transfers to the rider." Read More

Rider Magazine

"...the DesertX will not disappoint, especially if you use it as it was designed to be used – off the pavement and on the gas." Read More

Adventure Rider

"The DesertX can easily go head-to-head with any of its competitors" Read More

Sportbikes Inc.

"...the DesertX will happily tear up rocky hills and then crawl back down them with the best of them" Read More

Cycle World

"The Ducati DesertX has all the right ingredients baked right in and easily lives up to the hype as one of the tastiest ADV bikes in a long time." Read More

Motorcyclist

"The ’23 DesertX looks marvelous in its matte white colorway. We love that Ducati adopted styling cues from the original Cagiva Elephant from the mid-’90s." Read More
