On the other hand, the DesertX 2022 has a few weaknesses of its own. The smooth running of the engine in the lower rev range may not be as refined as some riders would prefer. The suspension response is slightly behind that of the fork, which may affect the overall riding experience. The seat height is also very high and non-adjustable, which may be a disadvantage for shorter riders. Furthermore, there is little space and no handholds for a pillion passenger, limiting the bike's capacity for carrying passengers.

In conclusion, both the Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2022 and the Ducati DesertX 2022 offer their own unique strengths and weaknesses. The Multistrada V4 S excels in handling, touring capabilities, and advanced rider assistance systems, while the DesertX stands out with its adjustable suspension, sophisticated driving modes, and extensive standard equipment. Riders should consider their specific needs and preferences when choosing between these two models.
