Introducing the Desmo450 SM, Ducati’s first Supermotard racing machine.
Desmo. Slideways.
Built to take on serious competition, but equally ready to have some serious fun.
From the high-revving Desmo450 engine and responsive suspension to advanced electronics and performance-proven Metzeler Racetec SM tyres, every element has been developed with supermoto performance in mind.
At its core is a lightweight aluminium frame made from just 11 pieces. Its minimal-weld design delivers the precision, confidence and consistent reliability needed when pushing the limits.
And you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy it. Developed for racing. Accessible to every rider.
With intuitive handling and a race-ready character, the Desmo450 SM is designed to give riders of all levels the confidence to push a little further on the track and sideways.
