Ducati has presented the new Desmo250 engine, a 249.7 cm³ single-cylinder unit developed to power the Desmo250 MX, the Italian brand’s motocross model. The engine stands out for combining compact dimensions, desmodromic valve control and the ability to rev up to 15,000 rpm, an unusual figure for a 250 cc off-road motorcycle.
