Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati DesertX 2026
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.
Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special 2024
Even though it is clearly not a rally bike, the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 knows how to impress with its powerful engine and good balance. It has plenty of traction on gravel and rolls very stably over larger scooters. Due to the 19 inch front wheel and the height of the bike, however, the the Harley soon reaches its limits in technical passages. On the flat, you should also be careful that the sensitive cast aluminium rims are not knocked into corners by potholes. All in all, however, the Harley is surprisingly off-road capable and robust for its dimensions.
