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 first motocross bike with desmodromic timing. Enjoy the sound of the Desmo450 MX, Ducati’s first foray into the off-road world.
A bike developed on the racetrack, in line with Ducati tradition.
The Desmo450 MX stems from a development pathway that transfers Ducati know-how gained in international racing, combined with intense research work and the support of sector professionals of the calibre of Tony Cairoli. The passion and expertise that Ducati has in designing lightweight and reliable bikes, high-performance desmo engines and innovative electronics strategies converges on a new kind of racetrack.
Developed on the racetrack, in the Ducati tradition.
The Desmo450 MX was born out of a desire to expand and engage new enthusiasts. Launched in 2021, it fully embodies Ducati’s development philosophy: to experiment and refine in competitions solutions intended later for production motorcycles.
New challenges, same racing spirit.
Development on the racetrack was a significant gamble for Ducati, which only highlights its commitment to breaking new ground. Keen to harness its passion and racing experience, professional off-road racing presented Ducati with the opportunity to expand into a world not yet explored, supported by professionals and countless enthusiasts in Borgo Panigale.
The motocross pathway is made up of three key elements: to compete in races with convincing results, to develop a high-performance bike for amateurs and pro riders alike, and to build a dedicated sales and support network, to offer fans the very best experience.
