Ducati Desert X is it really dirt adventure ready? Thorough Test.

A 3000 KM test of the Ducati Desert X focussed on the needs of a dirt oriented adventurer. Dave Darcy has over 50 years dirt and adventure riding experience and is the shooter producer of Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV and Editor at Large at Australian Adventure Bike Magazine. MAD TV is supported and sponsored by; AdventureMoto Rally Raid Products UK Giant Loop Link International - Pirelli Tyres, Motul Oils & RK Chains In his roles Dave rides all the latest adventure bikes but insists on manufacturers providing them for a number of weeks and where possible takes them on a lengthy adventure covering thousands of kilometres. This review looks at the Ducati Desert X through the lens of Dave's experience as a dirt oriented adventure rider who has ridden extensively in Australia and internationally. There's no reciting specifications or drawing up charts or riding the bike around the local area. For Dave, nothing replaces long miles in the saddle over wide ranging terrain to get the most detailed appreciation of the capability to take on a tough dirt adventure on the Ducati Desert X.
