The Ducati Desmo450 MX is not just the first Ducati motocross bike: it’s the beginning of a new adventure that brings Borgo Panigale’s racing DNA to the dirt. Born in racing and for racing, it combines lightness, power, and essential design with premium components.
And this is exactly where Brembo comes into play: the Desmo450 MX is equipped with the best in off-road braking technology, developed to ensure control, safety, and top-level performance in every condition.
A new frontier in motocross
With the Ducati Desmo450 MX, Ducati enters a new world, bringing its vision of performance and innovation. Brembo strengthens its long‑standing partnership with Ducati, equipping the new Desmo 450-X with a race‑bred braking system engineered for precise feel and consistent performance on dirt even during the most demanding conditions. The first Ducati motocross model is more than a motorcycle, is the experience of Ducati on the road, turn to off-road, with the Brembo braking system being at the heart of the performance.
The Front Caliper: Confidence on Every Terrain
Landing from a jump, tackling a steep descent, or managing a stop on unstable terrain: in motocross, braking is all about balance and sensitivity.
The Brembo floating caliper is designed to deliver exactly that—precise, immediate response in every situation.
Its forged aluminum body with a titanium anodized finish resists the debris and impacts typical of off-road riding, while the floating design ensures consistent performance even in the most challenging conditions. And style plays its own part: the embossed Brembo logo reflects the attention to detail that sets us apart.
The result? A powerful, yet fully controllable braking, giving the rider complete confidence - even when the terrain becomes a true challenge.
The Rear Caliper: Control in the Unpredictable
If the front demands aggression, the rear relies on precision to make the difference.
The axial caliper is compact, robust, and ready to respond consistently to every demand. Its single 26 mm piston provides ideal modulation, while the silver finish protects against debris and adds a distinctive look.
It’s the ally that allows the rider to tame the unpredictability of off-road terrain, turning every corner and every jump into an opportunity to push the limits even further.
Braking System That Makes a Statement
Completing the system is the Brembo brake master cylinder, designed to provide the rider with maximum feel and to fully exploit the power and precision of the two calipers.
The Ducati Desmo450 MX is more than just a motocross bike: it is the first expression of a new frontier by Ducati. And, as always, its story is also the story of its braking.
With dedicated off-road calipers, a state-of-the-art brake master cylinder, and all the experience gained from racing, Brembo accompanies Ducati on this new adventure, bringing to off-road riding the same level of excellence that has made the difference on tracks around the world.
