Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

Fantic Caballero 700 2023

The Fantic Caballero 700 is a bit of a cheat - but a really clever one! The engine of this smart Italian comes from Japan, where it is known as the CP2 and powers successful models such as the MT-07 and Tenere 700. Accordingly, the Fantic is agile and lively, weighing 188 kilos ready to ride. Add to that pleasantly easy handling and a comfortable riding position paired with a ravishingly authentic look - and you have a really good scrambler. Since the tyres basically work well and only the larger 19-inch front wheel prevents even more agile handling, sticking to the scrambler style is also perfectly fine here.
