If the 450 sounds like it might be overkill for your riding, then fear not, because Ducati Corse R&D has got something a little milder up their sleeves. They’re deep into developing a brand-new Desmo250 MX, which is set to make its debut in the Italian MX2 Championship.
Factory rider Alessandro Lupino will team up with MX legend Antonio Cairoli to fine-tune the bike, shaping it into the future production version of the 250MX.
