“A return to off-road motorcycles, 42238 brings Ducati’s first ever motocross bike to the 2026 Technic line-up, with 457 pieces, working steering, suspension, and a single-cylinder engine. It looks great too, neatly replicating the Ducati’s red-and-gold color scheme and... More including some good-looking be-stickered fairings.”

“Technic’s Ducati garage so far consists of 2020’s 42107 Ducati Panigale V4 R and 2025’s 42202 Ducati Panigale V4 S Motorcycle, which tackle relatively similar vehicles at different scales. 42238 Ducati Desmo450 MX Factory Motorcycle serves up something completely different,... More adapting the brand’s first motocross machine with just 457 elements.”
