Description & Specification


Born to race.

The Desmo450 MX Factory is pure competition. This bike was born ready, with even more high-performance suspension, an Akrapovic racing exhaust, sophisticated electronics and desmodromic timing. Lighter, faster, and with everything a rider needs to take to the start gate.

Developed on the racetrack, in line with the Ducati philosophy.

The Desmo450 MX Factory is born from a desire to expand and engage new fans. Conceived in 2021, it fully embodies the Ducati development philosophy of testing and honing on the racetrack solutions that are then transferred to the production bikes.

Maximum performance, zero compromise.

A motocross bike imbued with pure Ducati racing DNA, which concentrates the brand’s experience and passion for competition. Developed at the tracks, this bike offers professional-level performance and reliability.
