Tyler Bereman has officially joined the Ducati team as the X Games gold medalist will now compete aboard the Desmo450 MX Factory. Bereman, a former Supercross and Motocross racer, made the successful transition to free riding while also amassing 14 X Games medals with two golds in Best Whip. The California native is set to debut on his new Ducati during the Best Whip competition on July 24 at the MoonPay X Games in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“I’ve been lucky enough to ride some incredible motorcycles throughout my career, but the Desmo450 MX immediately felt different,” said Tyler Bereman. “I’ve always been a fan of the Ducati brand and seeing them enter the off-road industry immediately sparked my interest. Once I threw my leg over the Desmo 450, I was instantly a fan of its power delivery, handling, and overall character. It felt fitting for the way I like to ride. The Ducati culture feels like a natural extension of my style, and that’s what makes this partnership so exciting. I’m honored to join the Ducati family and can’t wait to show everyone what this bike can do.”
“Tyler is one of the most creative and recognizable riders today,” said Jason Chinnock, Chief Executive Officer of Ducati North America. “We met at ‘Day in the Dirt’ last year, and I recognized his passion for riding, relentless pursuit of progression, and ability to inspire riders around the world would make him an outstanding ambassador for Ducati. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Ducati family and excited to see what we’ll accomplish together.”
