Lego Technic has released a new kit called the Ducati Desmo 450MX Factory Motorcycle. As the name suggests this is an assembly kit based around Ducati’s new 450cc MX motorcycle.
- Sales will begin on August 1 2026
- Features working steering and suspension
This is not the first time Lego has made a motorcycle, or even a Ducati for that matter. The Danish toy company has made multiple Ducati licenced kit motorcycles over the years and this is the latest in the line. In fact, there is also a Ducati Panigale V4 S kit also currently available from Lego.
Mirroring real life, this new kit is simpler than the Panigale kit which features over three times the parts. Based on Ducati’s new single cylinder MX range, the Lego Desmo 450MX is a kit that comprises 457 pieces and is targeted at children ages 10 and up. Once fully assembled, the bike’s dimensions are 7.5 in. (19 cm) high, 12 in. (31 cm) long and 4.5 in. (11 cm) wide.
It may be simpler, but the 450 MX kit still has functional steering and working suspension at both ends. It even has a working chain that moves the single piston within the engine. Where the Panigale kit takes the complexity further is in the inclusion of a three speed transmission that you won’t find here.
However, at USD 50 (around Rs 4768) the Desmo 450 MX kit is also far more affordable than the Panigale kit which costs USD 200 (Rs 19,071). This new Ducati Lego kit will go on sale in the USA on August 1 and it should be available in India soon after as well as it is already listed on the company’s India website.
