Antoine Meo’s Take On Ducati’s DesertX

4 years ago | Words: Matt Holmes | Photos: Ducati

You’ve seen Antoine Meo on all of Ducati’s DesertX promo material, shredding dune seas aboard the stunning white bike. His skills and feedback led much of the R&D on the bike, and with five Enduro World Championship titles to his name, why not?

“The DesertX is a special bike … to the supermarket or to Morocco, everybody can do an adventure!” – Antoine Meo

While not Morocco, Meo’s recent appearance for Ducati in the UK saw mud covering a DesertX for the first time as he showcased how Duc’s first modern-day adventure model performs for an approving crowd. His piece-to-camera insights on the bike are as priceless as his ability to throw the thing around on the dirt. Stoked to see a small cameo by the legendary Carl Fogarty too!
