Watch Tony Cairoli on the first ever Ducati Motocross bike

Ducati Corse and Antonio Cairoli teamed up with Monster Energy to reveal the Ducati Desmo450 MX.

“The beginning of a new era” reads the caption to the video uploaded by Monster Energy, which has racked up well over a million views.

The video was shot at Ducati’s Bologna-based headquarters and gives us a good look at the new Desmo450 MX in action.

Nine-time world champion Cairoli explains how he’s working with Ducati to “make it the best bike possible”, why he’s excited about the bike, and why he’s working on this when he’s supposed to be retired!

Ducati is looking to break into the Motocross scene for the first time, and judging by the comments on the video, it’s safe to say people are excited.

“This is the best thing Ducati has ever done, hands down. sooooo stoked to see how the next 10 years unfold.” said @chadpetzer.

“I’ve got GOOSEBUMPS!!!!! Love my Ducati motorcycles. Can’t wait for the dirt bike in 2025” said @SpoolinVR.

As for us, we’re looking forward to hearing more – and we’ll keep you in the loop as we do!
