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.
