Born to race.

The Desmo450 MX Factory is pure competition. This bike was born ready, with even more high-performance suspension, an Akrapovic racing exhaust, sophisticated electronics, and desmodromic timing. Lighter, faster, and with everything a rider needs to take to the start gate. For the U.S. market, each Desmo450 MX Factory will be delivered with a custom, personalized Factory bike stand and a numbered engine cover individually marked with its production number, as this model year will be a limited run of 400 units.
