The Desmo450 MX goes head-to-head against a two-wheel drive bike

999lazer pit the all-new Ducati Desmo450 MX against a rare American Christini dirt bike. 

The Desmo450 MX was built around its beating heart: the 63.5 hp Desmo450 engine, the first four-stroke single-cylinder ever in motocross with desmodromic timing. Designed before anything else, it was this Desmo450 engine that gave shape to the bike itself, redefining the concept. 

Thanks to desmodromic timing, the Desmo450 engine can achieve a high 11,900 rpm, ensuring greater acceleration and more efficient drive out of the gate. The desmodromic system allows for greater control and reduces friction loss, compared to traditional spring timing systems, maximising race performance. More revs, more power, and more chance to grab the holeshot. 

The Christini bike might also have a 450cc engine but its biggest feature is a rare two-wheel drive system. Will that be enough to beat the Desmo450 MX in incredibly tough conditions? Watch below to see which dirtbike comes out on top.
