Ducati Desmo450 MX Overview

The Desmo450 MX stands out from the listed Sport rivals with its MX identity, 21-inch front and 19-inch rear spoked wheels, and fully adjustable Showa suspension at both ends. Its 450 cc single produces 62.62 bhp and 53.5 Nm. Riding modes and traction control add electronic controls, while a 6.9-inch TFT presents information digitally.

That focus brings compromises for everyday road use: the 970 mm seat is taller than the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono’s 904 mm seat, and there is no pillion seat or windscreen. Its 7.2-litre tank is also smaller than the Hypermotard’s 12-litre tank. The Desmo450 MX is priced below the Hypermotard 698 Mono but above the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX. Its 62.62 bhp is lower than the Hypermotard’s 76.43 bhp, so its appeal is its MX setup rather than outright power.

  • The 450 cc single makes 62.62 bhp and 53.5 Nm.
  • Fully adjustable Showa suspension at both ends allows setup changes.
  • A 21-inch front and 19-inch rear wheel define its MX-style format.
  • Traction control helps limit wheelspin, with riding modes adding control options.
  • The 6.9-inch TFT presents bike information on a digital display.

What we like

  • Fully adjustable suspension at the front and rear.
  • Traction control and riding modes are included.
  • Disc brakes are fitted at both ends.

What could be better

  • The 970 mm seat is taller than the listed rivals’ seats.
  • There is no pillion seat or windscreen.
  • The 7.2-litre tank is smaller than the Hypermotard 698 Mono’s 12-litre tank.

Best for: It suits riders looking for an MX-style Ducati with adjustable suspension and electronic controls who can manage its tall seat and lack of a pillion seat.
