Ducati keeps pushing into the off-road world with the Desmo450 EDS, a version designed to refine the new 450 motocross project. The bike confirms the Bologna brand’s aggressive approach, with a desmodromic engine remaining the model’s most distinctive trait.
The initial test shows a machine still evolving, yet already able to highlight a strong technical identity. For Ducati, it is an important step: the motocross debut aims to combine performance, electronics, and a character very close to the company’s racing bikes.
