WATCH: DUCATI’S DESERTX RALLY TAKES ON MEXICO

While the legendary Baja 1000 may claim much of the rally limelight in Mexico, the NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally immerses competitors in the food, drink, culture and beauty of Baja. Known as “The Happiest Race on Earth!”, this desert race event takes place over six days and 1500 miles down the narrow strip of land bordered by the Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean. What better place than this to test the limits of Ducati’s DesertX Rally?!

This beautifully shot production brings it all to life, delving into the bike set-up, the challenges of road-book navigation, and of course the rider – Alexander Smith, who delivered a thrilling back-and-forth battle for first place, right up to the finish line in San Jose Del Cabo aboard his DesertX Rally. Kick back for half an hour of immaculate dirt-bike storytelling.
