The 2026 Ducati Desmo 450 MX Factory delivers a stunning blend of race-ready performance and cutting-edge tech that sets it apart in the motocross world. At its heart is a powerful 449.6 cc desmodromic single-cylinder engine — a first in motocross — that pumps out about 63.5 hp and a broad, tractable torque curve, allowing for stronger drive out of corners and higher revs with less shifting, giving you a real shot at the holeshot. A full titanium Akrapović exhaust and bespoke engine mapping further enhance mid-range torque and reduce weight, while advanced Showa suspension with Dark Kashima and TiO coatings, premium Brembo/Galfer brakes, and lightweight components keep handling sharp and confidence-inspiring on every track.
Beyond raw performance, the Factory model includes high-end features and electronics usually reserved for road racers — like traction control, multiple riding modes, Launch Control, Engine Brake Control, Quickshifter, and smartphone connectivity via the Ducati X-Link app — so you can fine-tune throttle response, traction, and power delivery to your riding style and conditions. A holeshot device enhances starts, and race-focused parts like billet steering plates, protection guards, and a specialized chain underline its ready-to-race pedigree straight from the crate.
Plus, this bike is limited to only 400 Numbered bikes throughout the entire US. perfect for the enthusiast and the collector.
