Ducati's motocross model, the Desmo250 MX, is reportedly set to launch in India within the year. It marks Ducati bringing a serious motocross machine to the Indian market.
The Desmo250 MX — just being a Ducati motocrosser has me leaning forward. How do they put that desmodromic valvetrain to use off-road, and what's different from the traditional road machines? I'm dying to see the entire spec. Launching in India is interesting too, giving a real sense of market expansion.

'Expected' isn't confirmed yet, but if it really comes, I want to go see it in person.
Curious how much actual demand there is in India for this kind of premium motocross machine.
Ducati seriously entering the Indian motocross market — a development that would've been unthinkable a few years ago.
249.7cc, desmodromic valves, 15,000rpm — those specs should really land with India's racing crowd.
That price bracket looks like it's aimed at a niche of pro racers or hardcore enthusiasts.
If the Indian price ends up in line with the UK's £8,995, that's going to seriously narrow the pool of local buyers.
Given import duties, the price in India is likely to come in even higher than the UK price.
A genuine motocross machine coming to India could crack open a market that's been KTM's SX-series stronghold.
