Been drooling over this since day one. Most of what you said about the X applies to my Sled as well, only drawback is the fuel range. As always thanks again for blessing my feed with top moto content!
Thank you as always for appreciating! The Sled and the DesertX are very very different in my limited opinion as I've ridden the Sled for a very short distance. The ergo's are very different, as is the CG and the suspension.. not to mention a completely new chassis . Do read this, it's well written with similarities and differences between the Sled, Desert X and the Multi - motofomo.com/ducati-desertx-different/#ducati-desertx-similarities-and-differences--in-a-nutshell
@@MotorcyclingMusician Thanks for the article, great read! On paper yes they’re very different but in the real world it seems they’re quite similar in terms of handling and ease of off road riding, going by your review here. If you ever find yourself in the east of the country, I invite you to ride my Sled, for a longer distance though!
Loved the review Vipin! You provided a more thorough assessment of the bike compared to many major Indian media outlets. I'm considering this one or the upcoming F900GS as my next adventure bike after the Africa Twin. A friend mentioned that the DX sold in India comes with the lower 865mm accessory seat. Perhaps Ducati India can confirm this information.
Thank you so much for your appreciation Krishant. I’ve ridden the older F900 and I loved it too.. I suppose your choice will have to be based on a simple question - Is Adv/Dirt riding what you’d like to pursue and do the most or is it more road/highway/touring oriented riding?

I have the baby version of that Husky.
The SMS 125 2T but converted to WRE 125. I recently refreshed the bike myself at home.
