Conclusion from the 1000PS editorial team
The new DesertX is the last Ducati model to be based on the new 890cc V2 engine. And it is also the model that benefits most from the new engine. It is still as sporty, adventurous and stable as before, but can also score points in everyday use or on more technical off-road terrain thanks to the sociable engine. The greatest room for improvement is in long-distance comfort, but that is already complaining at a high height. The new DesertX is a very well-rounded overall package, with plenty of performance on and off the tarmac and hardly any weaknesses worth mentioning.
