Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati DesertX 2022
The new DesertX is the latest Ducati model to be powered by the new 890cc V2 engine. And it is also the model that benefits most from the new engine. It remains as sporty, adventurous and stable as ever, but thanks to its user-friendly engine, it also excels in everyday riding and on more off-road terrain. The biggest area for improvement is long-distance comfort, though that’s really just nit-picking. The new DesertX is a very well-rounded package, offering plenty of performance both on and off the tarmac and with hardly any notable weaknesses.
Triumph Trophy SE 2013
First impressions are known to be deceptive, the Trophy SE appears extremely bulky and immobile when stationary, but it is more agile than expected. In a pleasing way, it manages to negotiate even the tightest bends in one go with a little lunging. Of course, this is helped by the powerful engine with its good pull from below - there are no nasty surprises to be expected from the power unit. The equipment is also impressive and leaves little to be desired with a hi-fi system, electric windshield, cruise control and many other features. Operation via the many buttons is not entirely intuitive and the feel of the individual parts could be a little better. However, the Triumph Trophy SE is by no means poorly finished and its agile appearance makes it an extremely good match.
