Ducati has collaborated with Legacy Motors to launch a new service-only facility in Mapusa, North Goa, marking the brand's expansion of its after-sales services in India. The facility, which is the first of its kind for Ducati in the country, aims to provide convenient service, spares, and accidental repairs to Ducati owners, especially those exploring the western coast and southern India.

We are proud to collaborate once again with Legacy Motors, who have consistently delivered excellence in the form of our Dealer Partners in Pune and now bring the same commitment to Goa."
This Goa facility represents the second venture of Legacy Motors in India. This follows the success of their Pune operations.
A dedicated Ducati Owners Club (DOC) for Goa is also planned. An announcement regarding this will be made soon.

Ducati Desmo450 MX enters into production. Check details
The Ducati Desmo450 MX is the company's first ever motocross bike. Ducati Desmo450 MX requires a piston replacement and valve clearance after every 45 hours of running which Ducati says is the best in the segment. Check Offers The Ducati Desmo450 MX has entered into production at the bikemaker's Borgo Panigale factory Borgo Panigale factory in Italy. In the aftermath of the second world podium conquered by Jeremy Seewer in the French Grand Prix, the first Desmo450 MX came off the production line. The Desmo450 MX is the company's first ever motocross bike. The motocross bike has been developed for racing by Tony Cairoli and Alessandro Lupino. As of now, Ducati has no plans to bring the Desmo450 to the Indian market because there is very little demand for motocross motorcycles in India. Claudio Domenicali, CEO, Ducati, said '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. And discovering, at the same time, that we have an incredible resource in-house in the form of many off-road enthusiasts in the various departments. All this has allowed us to present the Desmo450 MX: an easy and high-performance bike, for amateurs and professionals alike." Ducati Desmo450 MX: Engine Ducati Desmo450 MX employs a single-cylinder 449.6 cc engine that employs Desmodromic valves. It delivers 62 bhp of maximum power at 9,400 rpm and a maximum torque output of 53.5 Nm at 7,500 rpm. The rev-limiter is configured at 11,900 rpm. It is equipped with a 5-speed transmission having quickshifter that operates solely for upshifts. Also Read : Ducati Desmo450 MX bike unveiled globally, is brand's first motocross bike Ducati Desmo450 MX: Hardware Ducati is employing an aluminium perimeter frame to support the Desmo450 MX. The frame is supported by 49 mm upside down forks up front and a monoshock at the back. The front has 310 mm of travel while at the rear it has 301 mm of travel. Naturally, the suspension setup is adjustable. Front braking is handled by a two-piston floating caliper and at the back, there is a single-piston caliper.

New-gen Ducati Monster with V2 engine spied testing in Europe: What you should know
The new-gen Ducati Monster will feature an all-new design and a new V-twin powerplant. Check Offers The next generation of the Ducati Monster was recently spied testing in Europe, and it is set to arrive with a range of updates, including a new V2 powerplant, updated design, and added features. The Italian motorcycle brand has been introducing the new 890 cc engine in models such as the Panigale, Streetfighter, and the Multistrada. The upcoming Ducati Monster V2 will be the next to join the V-twin lineup. Ducati's latest 890 cc V2 engine was unveiled in November 2024, leaving behind the brand's coveted, but high-maintenance desmodronic valve technology. It is claimed to be the lightest engine from the Italian brand and was developed in adherence to the Euro5+ standards. Equipped with an Intake Variable Timing valve system, it makes 70 per cent of its maximum torque at 3,000 rpm. Also Read : 2025 Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle launched in India at ₹ 12.60 lakh The engine features aluminium liners and weighs just 54.4 kg. It utilises a spring valve timing system, which was first introduced in the V4 Granturismo. Ducati says the valve clearance is to be checked every 30,000 km, whereas the oil change is scheduled after every 15,000 km. To optimise weight distribution, the cylinders are turned backwards at a 20° angle from the horizontal cylinder to the relative plane. The engine is also fairly versatile, with Ducati offering it in two power output versions - 120 bhp or 113 bhp, both arriving at 10,750 rpm. With the track-only racing exhaust, the 120 bhp variant jumps to 124 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 98 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. It remains to be seen whether the new Monster will get the sportier version of the V2 engine. Ducati Monster V2: Design and hardware changes The next generation Monster will be the first to not feature the desmodronic valve system typical of Ducati bikes in the past. In terms of its design, the upcoming Monster will bring a new look. The spy shots showcase a new design for the bodywork, with large tank shrouds and a new subframe. The tail section has been revised as well, and the bike gets a new exhaust system with a larger catalytic converter. The prototype rides on new alloys, which are expected to make it to production. On the hardware front, the new Monster prototype appears to feature the same components as the MY24 model. The setup consists of 43 mm upside-down forks and a pre-load adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking performance comes with twin 320 mm discs at the front and a single 245 mm rear disc with Cornering ABS. At present, there are no official details available regarding the Ducati Monster's launch timeline. The next generation of the motorcycle is expected to be unveiled sometime between late 2025 and early 2026. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date: 15 May 2025, 09:34 AM IST
