It’s clearly a copy of a Triumph….
Thunderdog all the way.
Haven’t heard that in awhile. Bimota had some sik stuff.
I think currently “rideless” at the moment Ferrandis would have to be an obvious option here right?

I’m curious to see if Ducati’s global appeal and ties to MotoGP will bring any new sponsors to their MX effort
My dream bike is a ducati monster. I've never heard a better sounding bike than one of those with the dry clutch (although the speed triple sounds really good too!). And that was a super lame video to announce their entry into the MX market. I have a hard time understanding how Triumph and Ducati can see the dirt bike market as profitable enough to want to enter it. Maybe these seeds were laid a few years ago when times were better. I like it and hope it works out for them. If anything, more manufacturers in the market should help prices for the consumers (increased competition). However, I think a lot of the costs controls are out of the manufactures hands and are a topic for another thread.
Right, with 8 riders and the best bike on the grid, I agree they are in their own league this year. Although, KTM’s success is amassed by Brad Binder not Miller. Although one could argue he is somewhat of an alien on the bike. I believe the progress of the Pierer Mobility is moving in the right direction and fast.
My point was more about if Ducati feels ’motivated’ by KTM in the grand scheme of things. Or is it simply diversifying the product line, looking to enter a market to drive revenue?
As far as MX and Ducati are concerned I agree with your statement. Not as concerned about the development of a Motocross bike as I am who will ride the bike.
I love it. I've been excited about all of the new brands that have announced new bikes lately, but this one hits different.
You know how there are crazy fans in F1 and MotoGP who are rooting for a team/brand instead of a driver/rider? I think this might happen on some level in MX as well with Ducati, especially in GP's. Ducati for me is something special like that, they have that ultra-passionate attitude about their brand and racing kinda like Ferrari does, for example.
I just hope they are brave enough to be different from other bikes/teams on certain things. I would love the bike to look radical and unique like no other current bike out there.
Gotta be good enough for AC to leave KTM.
And when the Ducati MX450 has check engine light on , u mast take the bike to the dealer and pay $200 for diagnosis. I had some Ducati street bikes but the maintenance cost compared to Japanese bike is just sooo up there.
What year Ducati street bike? I've had a few(still have my 1098 track-bike) and they have been solid and marginally more expensive to maintain (valve adjustment), everything else was comparable.
hoping we finally see a frame that looks something like this
Do you think that a 2026 Combat Wombat would sell.
It would have to be some teaser video.
Lol , yeah it would. These days I'm more interested in vintage bikes . There was a non running Wombat near me for cheap recently but I wasn't quick enough on the draw , but it got me thinking about them .
probably fake but this is more the kind of radical forward thinking design I want to see. at least the shroud to the frame.
Its most likely AI generated . Foot bake on the left side. for one. The bike in the videos looked very different from this one too. Not that ,that matters. I'm sure there is a lot of small things the more you look that will stick out as not real.
That's actually their radical new idea. Foot brake on the left, gears on the right.
Nah. That ain't new or radical for them:
Pit Row
well the shrouds are nice anyway
Speaking of this, how cool would it be if they come with ohlins suspension? If they really want to stand out and make a splash having a completely different suspension setup would be pretty awesome.
You must have missed it, the tires are ground breaking, they have rubber spikes...
Engine presented today....77hp...
Wrong engine. That’s for their new middle weight or hypermotard. But could be a sneak peak at what is coming for the mx bike, being single cylinder and all.
It would really be funny for Ducati to finally jerk the curtain back, and say FAKE OUT……..then show the world a Stark Varg knock off Electric Motocross bike with Ducati written all over it.
Did you actually look at what was presented before posting this?
Not the MX engine. 659cc for the street.

Would be kind of a bummer. Ohlins can never seem to figure it out on the moto side. It looks cool sure, but I’ll take kyb or Showa over ohlins any day.
Nice for snagging the top of your boot?

The rally pro premium plus edition has KYB. Leads me to believe the moto bike will get KYB as well.
