Features

Showa suspension

The Desmo450 EDS features Showa suspension developed specifically for enduro riding, engineered to deliver the utmost sensitivity and control on any terrain. Able to absorb impacts and obstacles with progressive, precise action, it ensures a smooth and stable response even in the most extreme conditions.

Larger fuel tank: 8.5 litres

The enlarged 8.5-litre fuel tank is designed to ensure greater range and to tackle longer routes without compromise. Integrated within the aluminium frame, it helps maintain the ideal balance between capability, ergonomics, and control.

Advanced electronics and dedicated dashboard

The Desmo450 EDS integrates extensive Ducati expertise to ensure maximum control in every condition. When configured with the Racing Kit accessory, engine maps, traction control, engine brake and launch control can be managed directly via the handlebars and fully customised via the Ducati X-Link App, adapting the bike to every rider and terrain.

Built to endure

The Desmo450 EDS is equipped with components to protect the motorcycle from the obstacles, impacts and low speed falls typical of enduro riding. Engine guard, hand guards and dedicated covers ensure increased strength and protection. The cooling system with integrated electric fan actively manages engine temperature, safeguarding performance even in the most extreme situations.

Wi-Fi module*

The Ducati Com-Link Wi-Fi module allows a smartphone to connect to the bike and access the Ducati X-Link App, developed to personalise, monitor and manage your Ducati during off-road competition in a simple and intuitive way.

* Available only in countries where the service is active and not homologated for road usage.

Enduro-specific Desmo450 engine

The Desmo450 single cylinder engine has been specifically modified for enduro riding to deliver increased torque and smoother power delivery. Piston, valve timing, flywheel and six speed gearbox are all designed to ensure a precise and consistently smooth throttle response, ensuring traction, control and riding continuity on uneven, low grip surfaces.

Metzeler 6 Days Extreme tyres

The Desmo450 EDS features a 21” front wheel and 18” rear wheel, fitted with Metzeler 6 Days Extreme tyres. A configuration developed to deliver stability, traction and precision on all types of terrain.

Predictive maintenance*

One of the major innovations in off road competition is predictive maintenance: an algorithm developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse that determines service intervals based on engine usage intensity. Maintenance includes two service levels: MID Service, including piston replacement and valve clearance check, and FULL Service, dedicated to complete engine overhaul. Both intervals vary according to wear and real usage conditions, optimising performance and reliability over time.

* Available only in countries where the service is active and not homologated for road usage.
