Ducati has unveiled its next-generation 250cc motocross machine, the Desmo250 MX. The 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder desmodromic engine revs to 15,000 rpm and comes equipped with traction control.
A single-cylinder that spins to 15,000rpm, with a chassis firmed up by Brembo and Showa — that's proof this was built by people who know racing on the ground. Bringing DTC into MX is an interesting idea too. How the rear bites coming out of a corner — a machine that draws even more out of a rider's skill.

The real question is whether it has durability that can compete with the YZ250F or KX250.
Bringing desmo into motocross, isn't this going to be maintenance hell?
Desmo valve adjustments are already finicky, the labor cost in a sand-and-dust-caked MX environment is chilling to think about.
An MX bike with traction control, you can already see the price premium coming.
Even at a high price, there's a crowd that'll buy this level of edge, it's Ducati after all.
15,000rpm on a 249cc single is insane, that rev range on a production MX bike is out of this world.
A desmo 250MX is too eccentric, it's the best. A motocrosser that revs to 15,000, lol.
