And out in the desert, Ducati made a serious statement in the off-road world. The Desmo four fifty EDX swept the Vegas to Reno race across three classes, with Ciaran Naran claiming overall victory for the third straight Best in the Desert Series event. Five hundred and five miles of brutal terrain, and Ducati owned every inch of it.
