Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati DesertX 2022
The first real enduro of the modern era from Ducati has succeeded - and how! A heart-warming design in the look of the glorious 90s Dakar bikes but packed with noble components and state-of-the-art technology. The high-quality and stable chassis concept really comes into its own in both on- and off-road use. The DesertX immediately conveys an unbelievably confident and safe riding feeling. The straddle that Ducati has managed with the suspension elements is also admirable, whether on or off road, it simply feels good.

If you want to, you can also conquer challenging off-road terrain with it. However, those who don't have to cover long distances will yet prefer the lightness of the standard T7. The World Raid's wide tank is noticeable in its ergonomics and handling. The high-quality suspension, on the other hand, copes well with tough off-road passages and, thanks to the steering damper, the bike remains very stable even on fast dirt tracks. 6-axle IMU and Ride-by-Wire also allow the integration of cornering ABS, drift and lean angle-sensitive traction control on the Ténéré long-distance flagship. However, the quickshifter must be paid for separately. The bottom line is that, in keeping with its name, the World Raid is aimed particularly at world travellers and is very well thought out in this respect with a wide range and plenty of off-road comfort, yet not quite as comfortable as other touring enduros with a stronger focus on asphalt.
