3 years ago | Words: Matt Holmes | Photos: Ducati Media House, Nick Fletcher, Matt Holmes

After finally getting to throw a leg over Ducati’s all-new DesertX at the Aussie media launch, here are our 10 standouts from the experience.

We’ve been longingly eyeballing the DesertX on screens since its concept unveiling back in 2019. So, to finally get our hands on it at the recent Ducati media launch, and ride it to Bathurst and back, was long overdue.

STAY TUNED

We can’t wait to get our hands on a long-term DesertX test unit. So, stay tuned over the coming months as we put the thing through its paces on longer rides and get more of an insight into what this machine is like to live with, maintain and modify.
