Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati DesertX Rally 2024
The Ducati Desert X Rally sets new standards in the medium-weight touring enduro segment and impresses with its outstanding off-road capabilities. Its high-quality suspension, consisting of Öhlins steering dampers and Kayaba components, provides a safe and familiar riding experience, even on difficult off-road terrain. The V2 engine offers both sporty aggressiveness and a smooth riding style. Overall, the Ducati Desert X Rally offers an impressive blend of sportiness and comfort. The biggest drawback is the price, which is significantly higher than the competition
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2018
The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
