The dawn of a new era: the first Ducati motocross bike
Born to compete, developed on track. The Desmo450 MX is the first Ducati motocross bike with desmodromic timing designed to carry Borgo Panigale racing DNA off-road. Lightweight, powerful, essential, it combines advanced technology and maximum performance to ensure speed, control and pure adrenaline.
The Desmo450 MX was built around its beating heart: the 63.5 hp Desmo450 engine, the first four-stroke single-cylinder with desmodromic timing in the history of motocross. Designed before anything else, it was the engine that gave shape to the bike itself, redefining the concept.
Clean and functional forms.
A necessarily simple bike, on which every detail is conceived and designed with the sole goal of offering performance and functionality. A lightweight and resistant frame and a chassis designed for maximum control. The new Desmo450 MX is designed to offer ultimate freedom of movement.
Ducati electronics at the service of performance.
The Desmo450 MX brings Ducati electronics excellence to motocross. A technological package that, for the first time in MX, introduces adjustable Traction Control that can effectively measure rear wheel slip on the ground, intervening directly based on the loss of grip.
Born to compete.
The new Ducati Desmo450 MX was developed in races, for racing. The 63 hp 450 engine with Desmodromic timing, the aluminium frame weighing less than 9 kg and the premium components offer everything a rider needs to compete well at any level.
