For 2027 Ducati has made changes throughout the Desmo450 MX in order to improve functionality, performance, reliability and ergonomics. The rear sprocket has been changed to a larger 51-tooth version, compared to the earlier 49-tooth one, in order to improve the rear wheel torque while exiting corners. The easiest way to differentiate the new model from the outgoing version is the new livery, featuring black logos instead of white.
On the Desmo450 MX Factory version, Ducati has increased the equipment on offer while trimming off 800g from its kerb weight. The factory model exclusively gets extra dark Kashima coating on its 49mm fork and monoshock, plus a titanium oxide (TiO) treatment for superior wear resistance. It also receives more accessories as standard, and a different drive chain than the standard version. The factory version also gets a new Ducati Corse livery featuring the red and black Ducati logo.
Prices for both Desmo450 MX models have dropped significantly in Europe. The Desmo450 MX is priced at GBP 9,495 (Rs 12.02 lakh) and the 450 MX Factory at GBP 10,795 (Rs 13.67 lakh). That’s a GBP 1,750 (Rs 2.22 lakh) drop on the regular MX and a GBP 2,400 (Rs 3.04 lakh) drop on the MX Factory compared to their respective 2026 versions. In India, the 2026 Desmo450 MX is available for Rs 17.23 lakh (ex-showroom).
