The Ducati Desmo450 MX 2026 It is one of the most anticipated cross motorcycles of recent times, in this renewed interest of brands for offroad. Since we met the project we were wishing to know more details about it. The performance we have seen since his competition debut, already made it clear that the bet of the Italian firm for his new Cross motorcycle was important.
In fact, at the end of 2024 we learned that the demo450 mx 2026 would reach certain dealers chosen by the brand in June 2025, and that is something that continues to be like this to, then reach the rest of the markets. But now we know not when he will reach the concessionaire, but how much it will cost to get it out of there as a new owner.
That figure starts at 12,990 euros. And we say that the price starts from there because in the configurator, which the brand is already available, you can choose more components, which from the standard version can exceed 20,000 if we choose changes in escape, brakes, accessories, easel …
So let’s focus on the standard version, which will cost 12,990 and that already offers a large number of components that, for most users, will offer everything they need and even a little more.
These are the data of the Ducati Desmo450 mx 2026
As we already knew and, in addition, it is the most appropriate to compete in MX1, the Ducati Desmo450 MX 2026 Cubica 449.6 cubic centimeters with a monocylindrical engine that follows the line of what is usual in the category.
It is also important in this regard to highlight that, unlike other brands, Ducati has made public its maximum power, some consistent 63.5 hp at 9,400 rpm with a maximum torque of 53.5 nm at 7,500 rpm.
In case you ask you, the maximum rotation regime is at 11,900 revolutions per minute, although the best benefits are below. It is also interesting to know that 70% of the maximum motor torque is delivered to 4,200 rpm, which implies that it pushes from below and makes driving easier.
As for the cycle part, we will differentiate the chassis on the one hand and on the other the components. And it is that the chassis is made of cast aluminum, forged and extruded with a total of 11 pieces and weigh 8.96 kg. A structure that we can qualify lightly, but that Ducati states that it is rigid and ergonomic. The total weight of the motorcycle, in the order of march but without fuel, is 104.8 kg, in the line of the category.
Regarding the components of the cycle part and always talking about the serial options, we find an inverted 49 mm inverted fork, with a 310 mm route and Kashima coating and also a central amaderar of the same adjustable brand and with a 301 mm route. The brakes run on Brembo, in front of a double piston clamp and behind with a simple and the discs, signed by Galfer, are 260 mm in front and 240 mm behind.
Electronics also plays an important role in a machine of these benefits. Equipa traction control to maximize traction, but also a “Engine Brake Control” to configure motor brake behavior, which can be configured through the X-Link app along with the performance of the “Launch Control” performance. It also has customizable configuration modes and quickshifter that allows you to climb the marches without clutch.
Another of the key aspects that Ducati has not hesitated to make public from this moment is the durability and engine maintenance deadlines. Every 45 hours of use, a valve review and piston change will have to be carried out. And every 90 hours a complete engine review will be necessary.
