100% Ducati Racing DNA

A new chapter of motocross.

Ducati transfers its key off-road characteristics to the 250 class, with a Desmo engine that is unique in the segment: a rev limiter at 15,000 rpm ensures more over-rev and less gear changes, a real advantage in racing that makes even more difference with a 250. The Desmo250 MX inherits everything that made the Desmo450 MX unique: precision, reliability, control and advanced electronics, and combines these in an agile and efficient racing bike.

New Desmo250: the beating heart of competition.

Compact, light and designed from scratch for ultimate performance. The Desmo250 MX engine with limiter at 15,000 rpm is the result of Ducati race experience and know-how gained with the Panigale V4 R, the technological benchmark of the range. More over-rev, less gear changes, greater benefit in a race, which makes even more difference in the 250 class.

Precision. Control. Confidence.

Confidence when riding makes the difference, and even more so aboard a 250cc bike: light, compact and designed around the rider. The Desmo250 MX promises immediate feeling and intuitive riding, allowing the rider to take on any situation with precision, control and confidence. A bike designed to support the rider in their relentless pursuit of ultimate performance, lap after lap.

The evolution of off-road electronics.

The Desmo250 MX flaunts an electronics package that is highly advanced for the category. Deriving from that of the Desmo450 MX, it is calibrated to showcase the characteristics of the engine, for greater control, precision and usability lap after lap.
