Ducati Desmo450 MX: A Roar Into Motocross
Ducati Desmo450 MX Ducati For nearly a century, the thunderous roar of Ducati engines has echoed across the globe's most hallowed race tracks. From the relentless precision of MotoGP to the raw power of World Superbike, the crimson machines of Bologna have cemented their legacy as icons of high-performance road racing. Now, a new horizon beckons as Ducati embarks on an audacious leap into the fiercely competitive, mud-slinging world of motocross with the highly anticipated Desmo450 MX. This isn't just an expansion; it's a testament to Ducati's unyielding pursuit of excellence, a daring venture into uncharted territory that has already sent shockwaves through the industry. Ducati Desmo450 MX Ducati The Desmo450 MX story began not with fanfare, but in the crucible of development. Ducati chose an unconventional stage for its groundbreaking machine, unveiling it exactly where it belonged: on the track. Spearheaded by Ducati Corse Off-Road, the collaborative effort was forged with the invaluable expertise of motocross titans like nine-time World Motocross Champion Tony Cairoli and Italian champion Alessandro Lupino. Their profound insights shaped early prototypes, leading to a sensational debut at the Italian Motocross Pro-Prestige MX1 Championship where it immediately secured a win. The victory reverberated throughout the motocross world, making a powerful statement of intent and highlighting the rigor of its rapid development program. Ducati Desmo450 MX Ducati So, what does this mean for the rider? An experience unlike any other. At the core of the Desmo450 MX sits a 450cc single-cylinder engine with Ducati's unique Desmodromic valve system, a signature technology delivering precise, responsive power. Its distinct delivery, blending strong low-end torque with impressive top-end pull, ensures effortless command whether bursting out of the gate or navigating challenging terrain. Paired with a lightweight aluminum frame and top-tier Showa suspension, designed for exceptional precision, the bike's extreme lightness truly sets it apart. This reduces rider fatigue and enables lightning-fast transitions over the most punishing courses, proving it among the most agile machines in its class. Ducati Desmo450 MX Ducati In component selection, compromises simply weren't an option: powerful Brembo brakes provide absolute stopping power, while high-quality rims shod with grippy Pirelli tires ensure optimal traction and unwavering durability. Lupino enthusiastically describes it as a "competitive machine that reduces rider fatigue," while Cairoli notes its uncanny ability to be "easy to go fast" — a testament to the harmonious blend of engineering and feel. Beyond its powerful ride and refined chassis, the Desmo450 MX introduces an advanced electronics suite, a true game-changer for motocross. Leveraging decades of racing insights, Ducati equipped it with features designed to genuinely amplify rider capability. Picture a groundbreaking Traction Control system intelligently enhancing control on varied terrain, or a Quick Shifter for seamless, clutchless upshifts. Ducati Desmo450 MX Ducati Adjustable Launch Control ensures explosive starts, and an optional Wi-Fi module allows for smartphone connectivity and personalized tuning, putting unparalleled control directly in your hands and revolutionizing trackside management. Plus, a smart predictive maintenance system minimizes valuable downtime by proactively alerting you to upcoming service needs. A bold foray into motocross, this move is deeply rooted in Ducati's core philosophy. As CEO Claudio Domenicali eloquently states, "We looked around, searching for the important unique features of our corporate culture and finding what I believe characterizes Ducati like perhaps no other company: the closeness between the world of racing and that of production motorcycles." That enduring principle now propels them into the demanding world of dirt. Every lesson learned in the crucible of motocross will refine future production motorcycles and, crucially, expand the vibrant community of Ducatisti, inviting new enthusiasts. Ducati Desmo450 MX Ducati For passionate riders eager to be among the very first to experience Ducati's revolutionary entry into motocross, a unique opportunity awaits. The Desmo450 MX is now available for exclusive early reservation through and the pre-launch campaign remains open until June 30. Early supporters can secure their place with a small, fully refundable deposit, enjoying priority access ahead of the general release. Each reservation also includes a limited-edition Ducati × Alpinestars riding jersey, personalized with the owner's name — a fitting nod to those bold enough to join this new chapter from day one. And while Ducati finalizes the exact dates, official availability is slated for summer 2025, ensuring the bike lands just in time for peak riding season. Ducati Desmo450 MX Ducati More than just a chance to own a cutting-edge motorcycle, it's an invitation to shape Ducati's future on dirt and embrace the ever-expanding spirit of the Ducatisti lifestyle.

Domino's and Pizza Hut rival makes ‘first-in-decade' menu change
There was a time when people would say that any pizza was pretty good, even some of the worst takeout and frozen options. Consumers ate bad pizza (or decent pizza depending upon how you look at it) because it was the best option. Calling Domino's (DPZ) for delivery, or pulling out a frozen pizza from the back of the freezer (or maybe even stooping pizza rolls) was the best late-night option. In some markets, it was the only delivery choice. Related: Popular dessert, fast-food chain survives Chapter 11 bankruptcy Bad pizza was better than cooking, especially if you had limited ingredients to work with. Food delivery services changes all of that. Now, Uber Eats and DoorDash will bring you sushi, Italian food, Chinese, and who knows what else until fairly late hours. You can also order pizza from local places , and the competition for your food dollar has increased. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Delivery from Uber Eats and other services, however, is expensive and many consumers have been tightening their budgets when it comes to food. People who used to order higher-end pizza, might opt for Domino's or Pizza Hut, while those chains may lose customer to frozen pizza. Now, a leading player in the space wants to give people a mix of value and gourmet that may fit the current market really well. DiGiorno has long-used the catchphrase, "it's not delivery, it Digiorno." They saw that as a positive, some customers saw it as an apology. Sure, I could have gotten delivery, but instead I opted for this frozen pizza. It's either lazy or insulting, but not person actually needs to be told they're eating a frozen pizza. DiGiorno has marketed itself as premium frozen, which it is, but it's all relative. The company offered a superior product to much of what you see on grocery shelves. It's better (to most) than Elio's, Red Baron, and many of the other offered brands.

DiGiorno may also be better than some freshly-made frozen in-house pizza brands, but many Publix and Fresh Market fans might argue that. DiGiorno was upscale in that it was higher-quality than most of its rivals. Now, the Nestle-owned company wants to put a flag in the sand. It does not want to just say it's better. It actually want to be better. Premium frozen pizza is a bit like saying, "that's the best gas station sushi I have ever had. Still, DoGiorno has made a real bid to offer something better. The company has added a new line, Wood Fired Style Crust Pizza. "This all-new pizza from DiGiorno features premium toppings and a perfectly crisp crust that serves up restaurant-quality taste fresh from your oven. Previously baking the crust at high temperatures to achieve a perfectly chewy and lightly charred texture, the DiGiorno Wood Fired Style Crust Pizza elevates the at-home pizza experience offering a dough with rich flavor, airy structure and the perfect bite," the company shared in a press release. Related: Popular local Dairy Queen rival suddenly closing, no bankruptcy The U.S. pizza market is nearly $55 billion, but less than 20% is frozen pizza. In a time where budgets are getting tighter, DiGiorno may be hitting a space in offering a mix of quality and value. The company will offer four flavors: DiGiorno Wood Fired Style Crust Four Cheese Pizza features a rich blend of cheeses-Romano, Asiago, Mozzarella, and Wood Fired Style Crust Italian Meat Trio Pizza includes a curated blend of pepperoni, salami, and Italian Wood Fired Style Crust Supreme Speciale Pizza is a vibrant celebration of flavors featuring generous layers of savory pepperoni and sausage and topped with a medley of colorful vegetables-green, yellow, & red peppers and Wood Fired Style Crust Premium Pepperoni Pizza is stacked with rich, zesty pepperoni on a crispy, lightly charred crust. All four DiGiorno Wood Fired Style Crust Pizza varieties will be available at retailers nationwide for an MSRP of $6.49 (prices may vary by store) starting in May. Some have hailed this as a "first-in-a-decade" change. "Frozen pizza hasn't seen a major innovation in a decade when stuffed crust hit the market, Graves said. Before that, it was rising crust, which was developed by DiGiorno in 1995," FoodDive reported. The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.
