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.

KTM 350 EXC-F 2015

KTM 350 EXC-F 2015

The box-office hit of recent years has been improved with pinpoint accuracy. The usable rev range has been widened, making the 350 a little easier to ride than before. But it still feels like the most radical machine among the 4-stroke models. It combines the advantages of the "250" and "450" but also their disadvantages. Nevertheless: 90% of all KTM customers will set the fastest time on the special test with the 350 EXC-F. It is the most universal purchase recommendation for enduro racers.

Powerful, agile, fast - a real racing machine

The advantages of the four-stroke (engine response, dosing, consumption,...) combined with lightness and sufficient power.

More radical than the 250 and a bit more nervous than the 450. Requires more concentration but also offers more speed

pull-through has improved, but still not so perfect that you don't sometimes wish you had a 450.
