New DUCATI Desert X RALLY review 

My KTM 1290, 6yrs old this year can do the same, select the mode and close throttle

I think Bulgaria will win the African cup this year, let’s go!!!

Thanks a lot!!! I actually looking at making something for it but will take quite a long time due to the bike having a lot of electronics like all nowadays bikes. I wish the adventure bikes had a simple odometer like the enduro bikes would make life a lot simpler and a lot less wires heheheh

Thanks a lot!!!!

Thanks a lot really appreciate your comment!!

Thanks a lot for following!! I hope to get the chance to spend more time on the Desert X Rally as I think for hard pack fast adventure riding it’s really fun

@@ManuelLucchese1I hope Ducati places one in your hands! 👍🏽

Thanks for following!! :)

@@pauli6570 good luck

@@pauli6570 yes you do😂

I second this. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a DDX and would spend the extra money for the full aftermarket Tractive suspension upgrade. However, an objective comparison to that and the stock Rally suspension would be a great data point!

Damn, That is a lot of beautiful pony’s to have in a barn. Must be difficult deciding which one comes out for the weekend!

@@r.j.n.604 Indeed. An time….

Yes I was the GYTR Project Manager for Yamaha Europe so I know the bike really well as I was taking care of all the development from day 1 and confirm Ducati is using basically the same setup even though spring rates and other details are different

I think the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is a great bike that would be my choice for tightforest trails I used it time ago in the mud in wales and exceeded my expectations

@@ManuelLucchese1 Looked at your super expert reviews and chose the v-storm 800de for myself and my tasks)

Be good if you can say so the rest of us can look out or avoid it.

@@paulaus sorry bro, I cannot do that. Let me just say that it was a structural problem. One that cannot be fixed in a garage. My only advice would be: if you plan on taking the bike to some serious offroading, the first DesertX is not the best option for you. With that said, it’s a perfectly good bike on the pavement. And very enjoyable, too. That’s all I can tell :)

@@paulausThe wheels are to soft. They bend if they hit hard.

As you may see on my channel I do bike builds and actually worked for Yamaha developing the T7 World Raid so for a competitor of Ducati. The prices I exposed are the ones you pay for I think maybe you are mixing enduro and adventure bikes where parts for adventure bikes are much more expensive. In any case this was my personal opinion as a bike builder and engineer but I accept your perspective which may be different and respect it

Thanks for answering, I love your channel and your work, I respect professionals that ask for the money of quality work. I've seen your builds and they deserve it. I keep thinking that swapping suspension in the factory shouldn't be adding the complete cost for the suspension, because the they're saving money not using the normal suspension...am I wrong? But Ducati said they want to sell exclusive products and the expensive prises seems the way. My opinion of course

@@31nerf thanks!! Yes I absolutely see your point and it’s true they save money providing the suspensions as oem but also that requires new homologations and in countries like Germany even if you bought a set of suspensions if they don’t have tuv approvement you can’t install them to use on the road. Then clearly also manufacturers have a scheme of Manufacturer - Distributor - Dealer - Client so every step requires a margin. If you look generally most adventure bikes have fusion parts and not cnc machined parts because also the cnc machining is a big cost compared to fusion. In any case Ducati’s have never been cheap and for sure you also pay the price of the brand but what I meant with the video is that given the context it’s a Ducati it is not that expensive for what you get if we compare it to other Ducati models or other similar brands

We actually rode multiple days across the desert but thought that long Onboard videos are boring so tried to share my experience after riding it for hundreds of kms

All troll, no value.
