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.

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.

Husqvarna Nuda 900 R 2012

Husqvarna Nuda 900 R 2012

Even after more than 10 years since its launch, the Husqvarna Nuda 900 continues to inspire as the ultimate fun bike, especially in the R version. Its greatest strengths are its emotional, powerful yet precisely controllable engine, the dreamlike sound it produces, a potent suspension and its agile handling. As a sporty naked bike, it does not focus much on comfort and its long travel and high seat can cause problems for people with short legs. The biggest challenges, however, are its rarity at the time of purchase and then the lack of a manufacturer who feels responsible for spare parts and service.
