The Ducati DesertX, DesertX Rally, and Multistrada V4 Rally are among the most capable and desirable adventure motorcycles on the planet. But how do you unlock the potential of these incredible motorbikes off road? 

To help you do just that, Ducati and a group of world-class motorcycle instructors have joined forces to create the Sweet Lamb Ducati DRE Adventure Academy in Wales, which James Oxley from Adventure Bike Rider recently got to experience…

Adventure Bike Rider - Ducati DRE Adventure Academy review

Not only does the Sweet Lamb Ducati DRE Adventure Academy have a fleet of 2024 Ducati adventure bikes ready for you to use (which means you don't have to worry about damaging your own motorcycle), but the academy is located in 6,600 acres of spectacular Welsh landscape which is prime adventure biking territory. Exploring this stunning part of the UK feels like a motorcycle adventure in itself. 

To find out how effective the Sweet Lamb Ducati DRE Adventure Academy is at teaching riding skills, James signed up for an adventure biking course. It's safe to say he came away hugely impressed by the quality of instruction, the facilities, and of course, the bikes on offer. 

Whether you're a complete newbie looking for beginner off-road riding instruction and trail riding basics, or you've got plenty of greenlaning or enduro riding experience and you want to take your skills to the next level, the Sweet Lamb Ducati DRE Adventure Academy team will tailor their instruction to help develop your riding.

James found his riding technique and confidence grow throughout the course thanks to the expert instruction and advice on offer, from nailing basic skills like correct hand positioning and standing techniques, to conquering water crossings and hill climbs. 

But perhaps the most satisfying element of the day was unlocking just some of the off-road riding potential that the Ducati DesertX, DesertX Rally, and Multistrada family of motorcycles has to offer. 

Life doesn't get much better than riding these sensational adventure bikes through some of the most spectacular landscapes the UK has to offer, with a group of great people. If you've ever wondered if Ducatis are capable off-road, the answer is a resounding yes.
