Ducati DesertX 2026

The 2026 Ducati DesertX combines sporting precision with serious off-road capability. Its new 890-cm³ V2 engine pulls cleanly right from low revs, whilst still delivering that burst of power at high rpms that you’d expect from a Ducati. The transparent KYB suspension, the neutral active ergonomics, the finely modulated Brembo brakes and the superbly tuned Advanced Rider Assistance Systems inspire a great deal of confidence on both tarmac and loose surfaces. Enduro bike and Rally modes are fitted as standard, and the traction control intervenes unobtrusively. Limitations become apparent in terms of long-distance comfort, the only mediocre wind protection, the high seating position and occasional quickshifter glitches. In Austria, the significant price difference also detracts from what is otherwise a very well-rounded package.

If you want to, you can tackle even challenging off-road terrain with it. Yet, if you don’t need to cover long distances, you’ll still prefer the lightness of the standard T7. The World Raid’s wide fuel tank makes a noticeable difference in terms of ergonomics and handling. The high-quality suspension, on the other hand, copes well even with tough off-road sections, and thanks to the steering damper, the bike remains very stable even on dirt tracks travelled at high speed. A 6-axis IMU and Ride-by-Wire system also allow the Ténéré’s long-distance flagship model to incorporate cornering ABS, drift control and lean-angle-sensitive traction control. The quickshifter, however, is an optional extra. All in all, true to its name, the World Raid is particularly well-suited to world travellers and, in this respect, is very well thought out with its long range and high level of off-road comfort – yet it is not quite as comfortable as other touring enduros with a stronger focus on tarmac.
