The Desmo450 MX engine is a 449.6 cc four-stroke single-cylinder with a desmodromic system, chain-driven four-valve DOHC, and magnesium alternator, cam, and clutch covers. Thanks to desmodromic timing, the Desmo450 engine can achieve 11,900 rpm, ensuring greater acceleration and more efficient drive out of the gate. Without the spring of traditional timing systems, the desmodromic system allows for greater control and reduces friction loss, maximizing race performance. More revs, more power, and more chance to grab the holeshot. In fact, the Desmo450 MX snatched two out of two holeshots on its debut in the MXGP championship.
