The Desmodromic valve system has been around since the late 1800's (Gustav Mees filed for patents) and in 1914 the French automobile maker Delage used the desmodromic system in their Grand Prix cars. Ducati's Fabio Taglioni "redeveloped" the system for their 125 Grand Prix engines in 1956.

The modern Desmo design is not the nightmare to adjust the internet claims. It is as simple as any other overhead cam. It just has 2 shims per valve instead of 1 shim per valve. It is very durable and reliable. Ducati MultiStrada specifies 30,000 km between valve checks on the Desmo. A valve check does not mean adjustment. Because modern metals do not stretch as much as metals 30 years ago, it is not uncommon for the valves to not need new shims.

Yes, there is no static resistance of a spring. But the spring could also break, rare but it has happened. With the desmo system the cam itself, fingers or bobins would have to fail for the bike to lose timing. Very interesting. I remember Mercedes using a Desmodromic system on a car years ago. It does pre-date Ducati. Regardless, more bikes with power equals more fun for us, the consumer!

There is static resistance/force of a compression spring that is preloaded but not moving. I have not even watched the propaganda vid yet, but with higher rpm's, it gets harder to control the spring compression (where it stops), when the cam changes it's direction, (the spring mass and valve wants to keep going instead of change direction with the cam--valve floating.). Not bad for a guy who builds 2-stroke engines for a living huh. :) OK,--more fun, for less consumers, as we go broke.

I think that Ducati is going to shake the industry up and it is nice to see yet another European brand entering the arena. My hope is that when production does begin for the general consumer that the pricing does not end up making it a niche bike. Ducati does tend to bring a more lofty asking price compared to Japanese machines and even those are becoming harder to justify the asking prices when you consider you can purchase a base model Maverick pickup for just a few thousand more dollars. I mean ti put this in perspective a 2024 450 SXF by KTM is running almost $13.5 after destination and setup and that isn't even a Factory Works model. The Japanese 4 come in for a 2024 450 model at 13k for the Kawasaki and the other 3 between 9 and 10 grand depending on incentives and surcharges. If Ducati and Triumph exceed the KTM, Husky, and Kawi price tag by more than say 500 bucks I do not think they will gain much of the market interest outside of pro riders. Should be interesting to see what happens come race season too because if the track performances of the European newcomers does not live up to the past couple years of anticipation and hype, I do not see them doing well in general consumer sales. Just my opinion anyway.
@DezmoDog7 ай бұрын
Pricing won't make it a niche bike, it's limited production will. Ducati doesn't make many bikes per year - even though they are owned by VW they are essentially a small company. Ducati started building bikes around the same year as Honda. The year Ducati built bike number 1 million, Honda built bike number 300 million. The Ducati will cost around 15% more than a Honda and they'll sell every one of them they make. Which won't be many.
@killacoiler17075 ай бұрын
@@DezmoDog the reason I put it in a niche bike category is because of what it costs to make a modern interpretation of a KX or CR 500 using the latest chassis and updated engine tech. It was close to 15k to build a Service Honda CR 500 AF spec’d out almost 10 years ago and they are a very niche bike and like you mentioned low production numbers for the Ducati would be the main factor but from my standpoint the pricing also factors in because it limits who can feasibly access the units. 16 to 17k for an MX bike is a lot of money if you are an independent amateur rider or simply a weekend warrior hobbyist.

So. My issues with Ducati, is one, here in Melbourne, there’s only three dealers, so it’s a pain in the arse if you need anything “factory” done. Two, you only get 2 year’s warranty and roadside assist- you need to buy an extended warranty, of only 12 or 24 months, so for a prestige manufacturer that’s really unacceptable. BMW gives you 5 years and 3 years roadside IN THE PRICE! Three, some stupid design decisions - why on earth do they shove the air filter under the tank on the Desert X? It’s an hour and a half to get the tank off. Imagine you’re in the desert, on an extended trip, and you need to check it…! And it requires 185nm of force on the rear axle nut! So when you do chain tension, or need to put an emergency tube in, you need to carry a long handled spanner to get it off, or one that breaks down into pieces. Really, really stupid.

Ducati didn't invented desmo but the developed it and patented the development, so the other manufacturer can't use them. For the adjustment, this is the fun one.. in normal valve spring dohc engine usually you adjust the clearance arround 60.000 - 100.000 KM. For road use Desmo max is 30.000 KM, racing engine max is 12.000 KM so this is the downside of the desmo, needs maintenance more often.

In motocross the design of the bike has reached a sweet spot years ago. Power is not the issue, nor torque. Its is traction and suspension, and even there, it is the ability of the team and rider to fine adjust for the circumstances what makes the winner. And the biggest part of succes is the talent of the rider. The bike is not that important anymore. That makes the sport so nice and competitive, unlike formula 1 where you never can win without a big budget. By the way, the desmo system that Ducati uses is to avoid "valve floating" at high rpm. Motoscross bikes not running at very high rpm's. It has also disadvantages, one is a heavier construction, more mass to accelerate. If all of these design choices you talk about would be so much better, the other brands would allready have applied them, they are not stupid. And there are no "best" brands, only better products, that come with a higher price.

Behind it was the FIM wanting to stop bike development in the USA with the factories, because we won the MXofN 5 times in a row. Both the 1986 rule and the 4-stoke forced on the industry, are the biggest factors of the sports decline by far. We need to demand our free enterprise back, because government is running our great sport into the dirt.

Desmodromics will not revolutionize MX racing. Ducati has been using them on race bikes for 60 years, it's not like it's some new secret the Japanese didn't know about. If they dominate the MX world (and I doubt they will) it won't be because of the valvetrain. You're giving the valvetrain WAY too much credit. PS - yes, I did name my dog Desmo. I'm a huge Ducati fanboy, have been since the mid '80s. And a lot of the info I see being stated here is pretty humorous.

Why would 2 street bike companies, (Triumph and Ducati), be so interested in breaking into a falling market share with others going out of business (bought by KTM). We don't understand how much of an investment it is to kick off a entirely new dirt bike, and in free enterprise, it would be suicide to make that investment for the smallest market share the sport has ever seen. So how is Triumph and Ducati doing it? They get tax payer money, subsidies from governments who stole the money from you, and I promise you,---they have electric bikes being developed to force on the industry, much like the 4-stroke was forced on the industry. Folks, you already paid for this bike, the triumph, and electric bikes that have not been made. That kids---------is dictator stuff.

And if you noticed, the Japanese 4-stroke bikes have come down in price by thousands of dollars. Now they are not making a profit, but that is to make it harder for their unfair competition. Yamaha actually started it that problem rolling tough, back in 1986.

Well it sounds competitive. Is it really one of the lighter bikes? Does it really have the most power and by how much? Most all the top bikes in this class have all the top shelf stuff to go with. Lets wait and see about results and reliability, handling, etc..

Well this is exciting. I look forward to getting to ride one. Appearance makes it seem well thought out and put together. Exciting times. Typically there is still a lash spring in the system of desmo controlled valves. The rear brake pedal tucked inside the frame has been on KTMs since 1990 ish and still there on KTMs now including all KTMs clone army. Maybe other brands earlier. Front fender agreed is a huge mud trap. KTM had some big troughs there in the past and in mud race you would get several pounds trapped there.
