Aussie adventure riders have been champing at the bit to get their hands on Ducati’s DesertX. Maschine’s Nick Selleck put 2022’s hottest property through its paces.

Such a pleasure in so many ways. Just the look of it is awesome!

Put yourself in the shoes of Claudio Domenicali.

You are the CEO of the successful Italian motorcycle company Ducati that has a rich heritage in racing and road bikes. The guys from the Scrambler team present to you a design sketch of a retro-looking Dakar replica motorcycle that clearly has knobby tyres.
