Pros and Cons in comparison
CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026
The CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026 is a remarkably well-equipped adventure bike for budget-conscious touring riders. Its smooth-running in-line twin-cylinder engine, relaxed riding position, effective wind protection and enormous payload make long stages a breeze. It remains good-natured and predictable even on winding roads and simple gravel tracks. Yet, the affordable price is noticeable: the suspension provides less refined feedback, the ergonomics feel passive when riding sportily, and, above all, the traction control is rather coarse. Occasional quickshifter glitches and intense engine heat on the lower legs detract from the overall experience. However, for riders who prefer to cruise rather than ride at the limit, this is still an exceptional value for money.
Ducati DesertX 2023
The new DesertX is the latest Ducati model to be powered by the new 890cc V2 engine. And it is also the model that benefits most from the new engine. It remains as sporty, adventurous and stable as ever, but thanks to its user-friendly engine, it also excels in everyday riding and on more off-road terrain. The biggest area for improvement is long-distance comfort, though that’s really just nit-picking. The new DesertX is a very well-rounded package, offering plenty of performance both on and off the tarmac and with hardly any notable weaknesses.
