Ducati Factory MX Team Ready for the 2025 MXGP Challenge
Ducati is set to make history in the motocross world as the Ducati Factory MX Team gears up for its highly anticipated debut in the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP). With a legacy built on high-performance racing in MotoGP and WorldSBK, Ducati now brings its innovation, engineering excellence, and competitive spirit to the off-road racing scene.
A Bold Step into MXGP
Ducati’s entry into MXGP marks a significant expansion of the brand’s racing portfolio. The Bologna-based manufacturer has spent years perfecting its motocross program, and 2025 will be the year Ducati challenges the world’s best in the premier class of motocross racing. The team will compete with an all-new, purpose-built Ducati Desmo450 MX, a machine engineered for speed, agility, and durability. This revolutionary motocross bike embodies Ducati’s commitment to performance, featuring cutting-edge technology, lightweight design, and a powerful 450cc engine developed specifically for the intense demands of MXGP.
A Formidable Team Lineup
To ensure a strong debut, Ducati has assembled an elite team of riders and engineers. With a mix of seasoned MXGP veterans and rising stars, the Ducati Factory MX Team aims to be competitive from the outset. Backed by the expertise of Claudio Domenicali, Gigi Dall’Igna, and Ducati Corse, the team will leverage its experience from road racing to fine-tune its motocross performance.
Engineering Excellence Meets Off-Road Grit
Ducati’s approach to motocross follows the same philosophy that has made its road racing teams successful—innovation, precision, and relentless development. The Desmo450 MX is expected to bring new technology to the MXGP paddock, potentially revolutionizing how motocross bikes are designed. Ducati’s engineers have focused on creating a chassis that balances rigidity and flexibility, a powerful yet manageable engine, and state-of-the-art suspension to handle the toughest tracks on the calendar.
Aiming for Victory
While 2025 will be Ducati’s first full MXGP season, the team is entering with ambitious goals. Their immediate target is to secure podium finishes, challenge for Grand Prix victories, and, ultimately, establish themselves as a title contender. With Ducati’s unwavering dedication to racing success, the motocross world is eager to see how the iconic red machines will fare against the established MXGP giants.
Ducati’s MXGP adventure is just beginning, but one thing is certain—they are here to win.
