Ducati has unveiled the Desmo250 MX, its first competition motocrosser in the 250cc class. The 249.7cc desmodromic single produces 44.5hp at 12,500rpm and 28.3Nm at 8,800rpm, revving all the way to 15,000rpm. It pairs an aluminum perimeter frame with Showa front and rear suspension, and also comes with traction control and launch control. It's slated to launch in Europe in July and North America in August.

Doing desmodromic valves on a 250 single already thrills me. Achieving 15,000rpm, beyond what ordinary valve springs can keep up with, through desmodromic actuation. Titanium intake valves, Showa's Kashima coating, 3-level traction control. The spec density is straight-up works-machine level. I'm dying to know the details of how the design philosophy inherited from the 450 got translated into a 250.

Using a Desmo engine off-road... sounds like a maintenance nightmare, but I like the ambition.

Whether an MX250 can actually beat KTM or Husqvarna is a different story — those guys have decades on them.

44.5hp at 12,500rpm, revving out to 15,000 — that's a road-bike brain's idea of a high-revving engine for sure.

The question is how that high-revving engine behaves at low speed off-road. No point if it's a handful to control.

44.5hp for a first-ever motocrosser is impressive, but durability and serviceability are still unknowns.

Showa suspension and an aluminum perimeter frame — that's some serious spec. You can feel they mean business.

Ducati making a motocrosser is straight up hype. A Desmo-powered 250MX gives me chills.
