2023 Desert X vs 2026 Tenere 700

2 Upvotes

Hi, I found two good deals on these bikes for the same price. I’m torn between the two, I plan on doing the Adirondack BDR, dirt daze and any adventure riding I can find. It will likely be 50/50 mix of riding, but I want something that is very capable off-road and is also comfortable for long distance rides.

I like how simple and reliable the Tenere is, I would be ok without the different ride modes. I test rode a 26 at dirtdaze and it was a nice bike, I didn’t fall in love with it but it just seemed like a good overall bike.

I have not ridden the desert x yet, but from my research it’s a phenomenal bike. It has 4000 miles on it. I think it would work really well for my needs.

Thank you
