Ducati has introduced the Desmo450 EDS, its first purpose-built street-legal enduro motorcycle. The bike features a 449.6 cc single-cylinder engine and advanced suspension components.
The Italian manufacturer revealed the machine through its Ducati World Premiere platform. It builds on the Desmo450 MX motocross model, which won the Italian MX1 Motocross Championship in October 2024. Key specifications include a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled engine with desmodromic timing and a six-speed transmission. Suspension comes from Showa, offering 12.2 inches of front travel and 11.9 inches at the rear. Braking uses Brembo components on 260 mm and 240 mm discs. The bike weighs 243.6 pounds without fuel when fitted with an optional Akrapovic exhaust. Pricing starts at $12,995, excluding a $795 destination charge. US availability remains to be determined.
