2022 Ducati DesertX Review | Road & Off-Road Test

Ducati has produced its fair share of drool-worthy machines over the years and the DesertX concept was no different when it was first released to the public in 2019. However, under that scintillating exterior was a not so off-road capable Scrambler platform. Seeing the fantastic response the concept received, the brand decided it was worthy of a completely new chassis to match its rally-inspired look.

At the heart of the package is a 937cc Testastretta V-Twin with Desmo valvetrain, pulled from the Multistrada V2, pumping out 110 horses and 68 ft-lbs of torque. First and second gear get lower gearing for more grunt on the trail, and it receives a 5.54-gallon fuel tank with the option to expand the capacity with a 2.1-gallon rear tank. It also receives a full suite of the latest and greatest rider aids all managed through a vertically-oriented 5" color TFT screen.

Is this new Adventure Bike from Ducati a serious contender in the off-road focused ADV class or just another dressed up sport touring bike? Does it still perform in the twisties like you'd expect from a Ducati? Check out our video review for answers to all your burning questions and more!
