Ducati riders share a secret. It's called Desmodromic valve control. An engineering solution found on only one motorcycle - Ducati. Most motorcycle engines rely upon conventional springs for valve closure, but as rpm increases, the time taken for the spring to close the valve becomes critical. Failure of the valve to follow the precise profile of the camshaft results in loss of performance. Ducati's Desmodromic valve system eliminates the spring and actuates valve closure manually. The result is safe, exact timing at all engine speeds. Every Ducati motorcycle, including the World Superbikes and the MotoGP Desmosedidis rely on the Desmo System.
Ducati motorcycles have long been known for their excellence in design and performance. From the first post-war bicycle-like low impact motorbikes, Ducati has grown over the years into a racing giant that is consistently competitive in both the racing arena and the world motorcycle marketplace.
