Ducati DesertX 2023

Ducati DesertX 2023

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.

great chassis with fully adjustable suspension

sophisticated driving modes

powerful engine

powerful brake

well thought-out detail solutions

extensive standard equipment

Smooth running of the engine in the lower rev range

Suspension response slightly behind that of the fork

Very high, non-adjustable seat height

Little space and no handholds for pillion riders.

Zontes 703F 2026

Zontes 703F 2026

The Zontes 703F Adventure is a Chinese adventure bike that is not far behind the established competition in the segment. For a really competitive price, it offers a lot, some special features, solid riding performance and good touring suitability. The only thing missing is some fine-tuning in the details, such as ABS or load changes in first gear. However, small weaknesses can be forgiven - measured in terms of value per euro. There is no other 95 Horsepower adventure bike with an Inline three-cylinder engine this cheap.

Extensive standard equipment: USB ports, electric windscreen, centre stand, heated grips, dashcams and more

independent three-cylinder engine with (almost always) smooth reponsiveness

well-balanced, fully adjustable Marzocchi suspension

good TFT display

high range

Unpleasant load changes in first gear

engine needs a lot of revs for sporty acceleration

front brakes need a lot of manual force for hard braking manoeuvres

not too fine ABS control behaviour

wind protection on the shoulders could be improved
