PERFORMANCE
Engineered for Maximum Control
The 449.6 cc 4-stroke engine with Ducati’s desmodromic system sets this bike apart. It delivers a maximum power of 63.5 horsepower and 39.5 lb-ft of torque, providing consistent high-output power across all conditions. When things get extreme during the final lap, the rhomboid radiators optimize engine cooling.Thanks to the ultra-lightweight aluminum frame (9 kilograms/19.8 pounds), the Ducati Desmo450 MX carves through berms easily and carries momentum out of corners. The rigid-yet-light chassis makes whipping the bike over jumps feel natural and controlled.
The collaboration with Showa when adding the Desmo450 MX's suspension was a deliberate choice for cutting-edge comfort. A spring suspension system adapts to changing track conditions, making this bike perfect for hardpack and softer terrain riding.
