The Ducati Desmo450 MX Factory is the race-ready version of Ducati's first motocross bike, designed for riders looking for a competition-spec machine straight from the showroom. At its heart is a 450cc single-cylinder engine with Desmodromic valve timing, producing 63.5hp at 9,400rpm and 53.5Nm of torque at 7,500rpm. The high 11,900rpm rev limit and factory-fitted Akrapovic titanium exhaust enhance throttle response and mid-range acceleration while cutting 1.7kg from overall weight.

The bike features fully adjustable Showa suspension with Dark Kashima coating and titanium oxide-treated internals for improved track feel, while billet triple clamps further reduce weight. With an aluminum perimeter frame weighing just 8.95kg, the Desmo450 MX Factory tips the scales at 104kg (ready to ride, without fuel). The electronics package includes Ducati Traction Control, Launch Control, Engine Brake Control, a quickshifter, and two customizable riding modes that can be fine-tuned via the X-Link app. Finished in the Ducati Corse MXGP livery, the bike is currently available in select international markets.
