Ducati pulled the covers off a new supermoto during World Ducati Week; however, all the details, specs, and pricing won’t be available until September. But that doesn’t stop us from being stoked about Ducati offering a turnkey SM race bike straight from the Borgo-Panigale factory.
Now, to be clear, this isn’t the first supermoto bike the Italian brand has produced. Ducati currently offers two motard machines in the form of the Hypermotard V2 and Hypermotard 698 Mono. However, Ducati is calling the new Desmo450 SM its first racing-focused Supermotard, namely because it qualifies for the S1 GP class at the Supermoto World Championship.
