Coming SOON! Pre-Order NOW at Bob's!

Ducati Off-Road.

The new Desmo250 EDX carries Borgo Panigale racing DNA into cross-country and enduro competition. Born to compete and developed on track, the EDX extends the MX race-proven platform into Enduro-Cross, engineered for endurance, precision, and long-distance competition.

Enduro-Cross Unleashed

The Desmo250 EDX is Ducati’s answer for riders looking to compete in Enduro events. Based on the Desmo250 MX, this is a lightweight, highly advanced, yet essential motorcycle designed to meet the needs of both amateurs and professionals, thanks to the performance of its Desmo engine, an easy-to-ride chassis suitable for riders of all skill levels, and the sophistication of Ducati’s advanced electronic package, which includes the first-ever closed-loop, off-road-ready traction control.

Discover KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

  — Handguards. Standard handguards protect against branches and debris while shielding the brake and clutch levers from damage.
  — Closed-cartridge Showa fork with dedicated springs. The closed-cartridge Showa fork is fully adjustable, featuring 49 mm inverted stems, 310 mm of travel, Kashima Coating treatment on the stanchions, dedicated springs, and specifically tuned damping.
  — Skid Plate. The skid plate safeguards the engine and frame from impacts with rocks, roots, and uneven terrain.
  — Side Stand. With a sturdy side stand, the bike remains stable and supported even on varied ground conditions.
  — Improved traction, comfort, and control. 18" rear wheel with a Pirelli Scorpion XC Mid-Soft tire, chosen for improved traction, comfort, and control on varied off-road terrain. The Quick Shift is activated via the handlebar switchgear, allowing for rapid management also when riding.
  — Showa rear shock with dedicated spring rate. The spring rate has been specifically tuned for Enduro riding, and the damping has been tuned to match the new spring.
 — Transparent 2.25 gallon fuel tank. A dedicated 2.25-gallon (8.5 L) fuel tank paired with a specific seat and shrouds to extend range.

Enduro-Cross Ready

The foundation of the Desmo250 MX has been refined for enduro competition. The EDX features a dedicated 2.25 US gal (8.5 L) fuel tank paired with a specific seat and shrouds to extend range, an 18" rear wheel with Pirelli Scorpion XC Mid-Soft tires, and specialized suspension tuning to adapt the chassis for enduro riding. Standard equipment includes handguards, a skid plate, and a side stand, completing the package of an enduro race-ready motorcycle.

Engineered for endurance, precision, and long-distance competition.
