Ducati Desmo450 MX: Ride Fast. Ride Premium
Meet the first-ever Ducati 450cc motocross bike—bringing Italian engineering to off-road racing. Powered by a powerful Desmodromic valve engine and packed with pro-level electronics, the Desmo450 MX is built from the ground up for serious performance—from MXGP to your local track.
Ride Like a Champion
First race, first win. That’s how the Desmo 450 MX made its entrance at the Motocross Pro-Prestige MX1 Italian Championship. Race with a clear performance edge and feel the difference from the very first lap.
Desmo Power. Only From Ducati.
Ride the only motocross bike on the market with a 450cc single-cylinder engine and powered by the legendary Desmodromic valve system—the same tech behind Ducati’s MotoGP and World Superbike engines.
That means more revs, more power, and relentless pull when the track gets fast. Nothing else feels—or performs—like this. It’s Ducati DNA at its best.
