Fasthouse Ducati’s Jordan Graham Wins Overall at Biltwell 100 Aboard Desmo450 EDX

Sunnyvale, Calif., April 16, 2026 — Fasthouse Ducati rider Jordan Graham delivered a dominant performance at the Biltwell 100, taking 1st place overall aboard the Fasthouse Ducati Desmo450 EDX in California’s Mojave Desert. Jordan had previously taken the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled to victory in the Mint 400 in 2020.Competing in the Modern 30+ Expert Men class, Graham battled during lap 2, constantly trading places with his main challenger, and finally pulled away 1 mile into lap 3, holding the lead and controlling the race at a blistering pace through the finish:

  • Lap 1: 0:33:55 (P3)
  • Lap 2: 1:08:22 (P1)
  • Lap 3: 1:44:09 (P1)
  • Lap 4: 2:19:43 (P1)

Graham crossed the line with a commanding margin, finishing over six minutes ahead of second place (2:26:19), underlining the performance and durability of the Desmo450 EDX in demanding desert conditions.

The Desmo450 EDX felt right from the start. The motor’s an absolute missile. It just keeps pulling, no drop-off, no topping out, especially when you’re pinned through the whoops," said Jordan Graham. "Chassis-wise, the geometry is dialed. I didn’t need a steering stabilizer. It stayed planted, didn’t swap, and gave me a ton of confidence to keep pushing. I had a solid battle with Forest Minchinton and just kept the momentum to the finish. Stoked to take the win on the Desmo450 EDX.

Jordan’s bike ran mostly stock, with some additions to support his desert racing efforts. Fitted with a 2.7-gallon IMS fuel tank, it allowed for only 1 pit stop over the 100-mile race. Factory Connection tuned the suspension, and the Flexx Handlebar from Fasst Company was mounted to minimize vibration and reduce fatigue. Ducati Performance parts, including the full Akrapovič Exhaust, a racing seat, a Wi-Fi module for tuning, black plastics, and Pirelli XC Mid-hard tires, rounded out the build. Designed for both desert racing and enduro competition, the Desmo450 EDX proved its performance and durability across the demanding Mojave terrain.Graham’s overall win marks another step forward for Ducati’s off-road program, reinforcing the Desmo450 EDX as a competitive platform in real-world racing conditions.Similar to its support for riders like Jordan Graham, Ducati North America continues to support riders at all levels through its expanding Ducati Rewards Off-Road Race Contingency Program, now active across more than 20 motocross and off-road series nationwide.
