  • Lots of features and electronic aids

Verdict

The latest adventure motorcycle from Ducati is the Desert X and it is highly capable, gets a decent list of features and in the right hand, it is quite entertaining too. The off-road performance is perhaps one of the best in its segment and it can go touring as well. The price may be expensive but it is worth it, if you are looking for a premium adventure motorcycle, with a flair for off-roading.
