Engine Vehicle & Design Electronics Tech Specs Customisation

Extended rev range. Race-ready performance.

With the extended rev range of the Desmo450, the Desmo450 SM allows each gear to be held for longer for maximum efficiency between one turn and the next. Easy to interpret thanks to electronics derived from Ducati experience on the racetrack, the Desmo450 SM is designed to unleash its full potential lap after lap.

Key Characteristics

Desmo450 Engine

The Desmo450 SM is equipped with the 63.5 cc Desmo450 single-cylinder engine, designed to reach high engine speeds thanks to desmodromic timing and a limiter fixed at 11,900 rpm. Direct valve control ensures more precise management compared to traditional spring systems, reducing friction at low revs and allowing the engine to reach higher rpm. The result is greater efficiency out of the turns and the possibility to hold each gear for longer.

Showa premium suspension

Developed together with the Showa Road and Off-Road teams, Desmo450 SM suspension combines precision, lightness and response. The Ø 49 mm front fork and rear shock with progressive linkage ensure support under braking, stability when cornering and traction out of the turn. This makes for an intuitive and efficient bike that is ready to unleash its full potential on track.
