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.

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2023

The Multistrada has already had to hold its own against many opponents in numerous tests on extremely varied terrain and was usually the fastest and overall best motorbike. The recipe for success: suitability for travelling with countless comfort features combined with a level of sportiness and riding performance that is second to none. The Ducati engineers have poured all the high-quality ingredients into the motorbike that money can buy. These have been combined to create a harmonious overall package that rides incredibly well. A worthy winner of various comparative tests at a proud price.
