How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a high-performance sport-touring adventure machine, excelling at fast road riding and long-distance journeys rather than genuine off-road work.
- Built for
- A charismatic V-twin adventure-sport hybrid that combines Ducati's desmodromic engine character with electronic semi-active suspension for a premium, engaging ride.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for a novice rider or anyone seeking a lightweight, genuinely off-road-capable dual-sport machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
