Are you the proud owner of a Ducati DesertX? Follow-up question: Do you live in North America? If you answered yes to both of those questions, then we have good news for you. Ducati North America just introduced its new Dirty Dozen Challenge in August 2023. It’s a photo scavenger hunt, in a way—but you must tackle 12 challenging off-road routes on your DesertX to complete it.
The challenge was created by DNA CEO Jason Chinnock—who not only dreamed it up but has also already completed the challenge across five days of riding. There’s a series of videos on Ducati North America’s YouTube page documenting the journey, so you can see what it’s like and think about how, if, and when you want to tackle it yourself.
