It is the smallest of the August 2026 Technic vehicles, and the only two-wheeler in the wave, which makes it a considerably shorter build than the cars released alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree working mechanisms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its size, the bike packs in more function than most sets at this piece count. The cylinder engine is chain-driven from the rear wheel, so pushing the model along turns the mechanism. Front and rear suspension both compress under load, and the oversized handlebars steer the front wheel directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose three systems are what the build is really about. Everything else is bodywork wrapped around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChain drive from the rear wheel to a cylinder engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorking front suspension forks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRear suspension with swingarm linkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandlebar steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory motocross livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild length and difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 457 pieces this is an evening's build rather than a project. The 10+ rating reflects the Technic pin and beam construction rather than any single difficult step, and the LEGO Builder app gives 3D instructions if a sub-assembly is hard to read on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSet specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet number: 42238\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePiece count: 457\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended age: 10 years and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTheme: LEGO Technic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this set suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good entry point into LEGO Technic at a lower price than the car models, and an obvious choice for motocross and Ducati fans.

Lift the bike by the frame rather\nthan the handlebars or the seat, and stand it on the kickstand rather than propping it against\nsomething when displaying it. Keep the chain clear of dust so the drive keeps turning freely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LEGO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967848169650,"sku":"42238","price":89.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/8516\/6258\/files\/LEGO_Technic_-_Ducati_Desmo450_MX_Factory_Motorcycle_42238.png?v=1788265101","url":"https:\/\/discounttoyco.com.au\/products\/lego%c2%ae-technic-ducati-desmo450-mx-factory-motorcycle-42238","provider":"Discount Toy Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
