New on the shelf: Set 42238, Ducati Desmo450 MX Factory Motorcycle

Set 42238, Ducati Desmo450 MX Factory Motorcycle, is new in the catalogue, a smaller 2026 Technic piece. That keeps it on the smaller side of the Technic sets from 2026.

It has not been scored yet, so there is no Stud Score here, and I am not going to guess at one. This is an honest heads-up that the set exists and what the catalogue says about it. When it goes through the rubric, the full review, with the five-axis Stud Score, lands on the site and this note points to it.

If you are weighing it up in the meantime, drop the 457-piece count and the price you are actually seeing into the value calculator to read the parts-to-box ratio, or browse the Technic sets I have already scored.
