Desmo450 MX

Training as Champions with the Desmo450 MX

The training bike chosen from MotoGP champions
Motocross and flat track: the riders' gym

Training on cross or flat track motorcycles is a common practice among MotoGP riders, and world champions Francesco and Marc are no exception. 

These disciplines allow them to sharpen technique, balance and control on various terrains and are the ones that come closest to the physical exertion required by a MotoGP race.

In addition, many riders began their careers with motocross itself, making it a natural and complete training for those racing at the highest level.

Pecco and his Desmo 450 MX in “Flat Track” version
For his training at MotoRanch Tavullia (PU), Francesco Bagnaia received a Desmo450 MX modified specifically for flat track. Pecco needed a bike perfectly calibrated for the discipline: chassis, suspension and set-up were adapted to meet his demands and ensure optimal performance and feeling on the track.
From asphalt to dirt: the Desmo450 MX for Marc
The delivery of the Desmo450 MX to Marc Márquez marks a new chapter in his training journey. Marc can now count on a bike developed to offer the ultimate in controllability, power and versatility on dirt terrain. The Desmo450 MX is designed to meet the needs of professional riders, and in the hands of an eight-time world champion, it becomes a perfect tool for honing the skills needed in competition.

Discover the new Desmo450 MX, Ducati's first motocross bike

Born to compete, developed on track. The Desmo450 MX is the first Ducati motocross bike with desmodromic timing designed to carry Borgo Panigale racing DNA off-road.
