AXP Racing Desmo450
MX Skid Plate
$159

AXP Racing has new skid plates with
linkage guards for 2025-26 Ducati
Desmo450 MX models and the upcoming
Desmo450 EDX / EDS models. Made from
8mm-thick HDPE plastic, it protects the
frame all the way to the footpegs while
shielding the water pump and casings from
impacts. The HDPE absorbs shocks and
returns to its original shape after impacts,
and it is lighter in weight (up to 40 percent)
and quieter than its metal counterparts.
