Ducati has released an official promotional video for its new competition motocross machine, the Desmo250 MX. Featuring footage of the bike chasing a drone in a display of nimble handling, the video underscores the brand's entry into the 250cc class, following the 2025-launched Desmo450 MX. Ducati is stepping in earnest into the MX market long dominated by dedicated off-road manufacturers.

How Ducati's racing DNA shows up in motocross has me genuinely intrigued, having watched this world firsthand. The nature of the fight on road versus dirt is completely different. Engine character, how the suspension moves — all rebuilt from scratch. Accumulating know-how with the 450 before moving to the 250 — this approach is proof of serious intent. I want to see how a desmodromic motocrosser kicks off the instant the gate drops.

How much horsepower will the 250 four-stroke actually make? Whether the Desmo's high-rev advantage pays off in competition depends on the numbers.

Entering the market's fine, but what about the service network? Can't imagine a local bike shop handling a repair.

I know it's a motocrosser so street riding is out, but if they made an enduro version off this, I'd genuinely want one.

There's history of Ducati trying off-road before and flopping spectacularly. Hoping it sticks this time.

It's probably going to be around 4 million yen anyway. Who's buying a race bike with a brand markup like that.

Storming into a ring the KX and YZ have fought in for decades with just a promo video is funny. Talk after you've gotten actual dirt on you.

Who predicted Ducati putting out a motocrosser? Just the engine sound in the promo video could power a whole meal.
