This is a modern/retro tough looking bike worthy of the Ducati name.

I test rides this one and the v4s and I actually like this best! Super comfortable, light, nice cornering and powerful enough. Coming from a BMW K1300R, I must say I was impressed. I only found it a bit tall for me, but then again and a shorty 1,65m

A vital and durable way to cross the desert. Certainly an interesting prospect to consider. Thank you MotoChatter. Happy riding all.

Love the look of this bike. Impressive electronics and KYB suspension it should handle nicely. Another mid weight adventure bike in the mix. The manufacturers are stepping it up.

looks a lot like the old elephant but a modern version I liked that and I think the ducati has done a great job on this one reasonably priced too

What's odd is that the Cagiva Elephant is kinda making a comeback in the guise of MV Agusta Lucky Explorer. It also looks like a serious machine.

If I had one it would crossing car parks and jumping speed humps! Still, nice looking thing. Specced one up on Ducatis website, came to 15 grand sterling, ouch.

I do like the looks, fuel capacity, the Enduro purpose more so a adventure bike. My one concern is the height and the weight. I am 5' 6" barefooted, 175 lbs.. I would love to see a 650 or 700 cc bike with this same DNA.

Hi and thanks for your comment. I think it would be greta to see a smaller engined version, perhaps using the smaller of the Monster engines. Thanks for watching.

The bike looks great. Love the retro look with a clean modern esthetic. Would be a great promotion for the bike to join the dakar, only if they get a top rider that gives Ducati a good chance of winning. Though not necessary as Bmw can show. Getting people what they want or getting under their skin is far more effective commercially and financially.

Would be good to see Ducati competing off road, although as you say they will sell without it. I don't know anything official, but my feeling is they will enter the Dakar, we will have to watch this space. Thanks for your comment.

For Dakar it would have to go on a diet to compete with the 450s. Maybe in another class.
@sspirito31302 жыл бұрын
Dakar's bikes are restricted to 450cc. It's a shame that we can no longer see those big enduros competing anymore
@chep59582 жыл бұрын
Considering the 450cc limit on Dakar bikes these days, I doubt Ducati will be taking a run at it. Good vid though. Thanks 👍🏼

Thanks for your comment, Ducati have recently thrown a surprise by taking over the MotoE race series from Energica with an all electric race bike from 2023 onwards, maybe they will come up with something for the Dakar. We shall see, either way, the Desert X is a welcome addition to the range. Thanks for watching, have a great day.

Anyone know if they will have an oiled foam air filter or are they persisting with a non suitable paper element as per the Multistrada range ?
