In early April, Ducati officially unveiled the new Desmo 450MX to the public – its first motocross bike, already competing in the MXGP World Championship.
This bike features a 449.6cc single-cylinder Desmodromic engine, capable of delivering 63.5 hp and 53.5 Nm of torque.
With a frame made of 11 pieces, the Desmo 450MX is equipped with fully adjustable Showa suspensions (front fork and rear shock). The rims are Takasago Excel with Alpina spokes, and the brakes include Brembo components.
Developed by Alessandro Lupino and Tony Cairoli, this model comes with Ducati Traction Control with a unique operation in the segment, as well as a quickshifter, launch control, engine brake control, and two riding modes.
