The Desmo250 MX was born out of a desire to expand and engage new enthusiasts. Launched in 2021, it fully embodies Ducati's development philosophy: to experiment and refine in competitions solutions intended later for production motorcycles.
Up to 15,000 rpm with the Desmo250
The Desmo250 MX engine is designed from scratch, harnessing the know-how gained with the Panigale V4 R, with which the Desmo250 MX shares vital engine parameters, but with completely revised geometries, masses and fluid dynamics in order to respond to the specific needs of motocross. Titanium intake valves, steel exhaust valves, and desmo control mean that the engine can rev up to 15,000 rpm. A new reference for the segment, that allows the rider to maximise every single gear. For an engine that delivers power across every riding phase, Desmo250 MX presents an incredibly balanced torque curve at all speeds, promising a prompt response at low revs and an over-rev that exploits the full potential of the desmodromic system at critical moments, such as launch performance and corner exit.
Tailor-made Showa suspension
The Showa fork and monoshock flaunt hydraulics developed specifically for the Desmo250 MX, for a neutral handling balance that minimises weight transfer and improves turn-in performance.
Brembo / Galfer braking system
The Desmo250 MX shares the same braking system as the Desmo450 MX. The Brembo system with 260 mm front and 240 mm rear Galfer discs ensures uncompromising power and controllability.
Next‑Level Electronics
The Desmo250 MX leverages Ducati’s experience in the development of electronic control and rider assistance systems. It comes standard with two Riding Modes and Ducati Traction Control adjustable across three levels. Traction Control, already highly appreciated on the Desmo450 MX, represents the most advanced element of the electronic package. Drawing on experience gained in MotoGP and Superbike, Ducati has developed and patented a true traction control system. This system enhances rider safety and reduces fatigue while riding, and can also improve lap times.
Predictive maintenance
The Desmo250 MX also features innovative software that can calculate service intervals based on real-world engine usage intensity. The system analyses the main operating parameters and the conditions of use, to generate a dynamic wear indicator that can extend service intervals by up to 33%.
Wi-Fi module with X-Link app
Available as an accessory, the Ducati Com-Link Wi-Fi module* allows you to connect a smartphone to the bike and use the Ducati X-Link app to customise the Riding Modes and monitor your Desmo250 MX quickly and intuitively. The app also suggests the correct service intervals.
