Experience the thrill of motocross with UK-based Ducati MX Experience
By Team TMX on 11th Apr 25
Ducati UK has announced the new Ducati MX Experience, where riders of all abilities have the chance to experience the thrill of riding motocross first-hand on the brand-new, championship-winning Desmo450 MX.
The new venture will open its doors in July 2025, with four iconic locations, expert tuition, premium hospitality, and of course the highlight of the experience, the Desmo450 MX. This is an opportunity for all fans of Ducati and motocross to enjoy the style and sophistication synonymous with all Ducati Experiences, while the new Desmo450 MX will be guaranteed to keep the adrenaline pumping throughout the day.
The Ducati MX Experience is run by chief instructor Barry Johnson, a former top British and international motocross rider and highly skilled ACU-qualified instructor with over 29 years of experience. Barry and his dedicated team can tailor instruction for each rider, from complete dirt novices to those looking to refine their motocross technique or push their limits further. They take the time to assess each rider’s needs, ensuring they get the right training and the best possible experience.
The carefully selected venues for the Ducati MX Experience each offer unique terrain and challenges, providing the perfect setting to showcase the power, precision, and agility of the Ducati Desmo450 MX. The locations are Golding Barn in West Sussex, Hobs Hole MX in the Midlands, Pond Lane MX in Hampshire, and FatCat Motoparc in Doncaster.
Ducati MX Experience days are now available to book on the Ducati MX Experience website, with a full day of fun in the dirt costing only £220. The day is open to riders of all abilities aged 17 and over. No motorcycle licence is required, but you need prior motorcycle experience to be able to enjoy the day.
Barry Johnson, Ducati MX Experience chief instructor: “We are super-excited to bring the Ducati MX Experience to the UK. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to work with such a prestigious brand, with big ambitions in motocross. The Desmo450 MX bikes are incredible, and we have the venues, instructors and the support services to guarantee a fantastic experience for our guests.”
Fabrizio Cazzoli, Managing Director, Ducati UK: “Ducati’s entry into the world of motocross is a historic moment for the company, and we are delighted to offer everyone in the UK a chance to experience the new Desmo450 MX for themselves. Ducati selects its experience partners very carefully, and the team behind the new Ducati MX Experience is no different. We are proud to work with such a highly motivated team of expert instructors, based at superb venues and offering a truly premium experience.”
