Ducati Desmo450 MX 2025

"Congratulations to Ducati: the baptism of fire with the entry into the mx bike sector has been a success. The standard motorbike works well on the track and, with the Desmo concept, has a unique selling point that also makes a new riding style possible on the large MX bikes, with which you can ride quietly and energy-savingly at a sporty pace. The electric riding aids have been taken to a whole new level. The Desmo 450 MX by no means gives the impression of being a debut model, but already feels like a mature racing motorbike that will satisfy both fast riders and the hobbyist faction. In terms of price, however, it is at the upper end of the scale and exceeds the list price of a standard KTM 450 SX-F, but is cheaper than the Factory Edition from Mattighofen. And with the large range of accessories, you have the opportunity to build yourself almost a factory motorbike if you want to and have enough money in your pocket.

Unique and well-functioning Desmo motor concept

Very well functioning electric driving aids

Good, neutral balance

High list price

Suspension a little soft for fast riders

Slight seat hollow at the front
