Ducati is bringing new motorcycles, special editions, racing machinery and a substantial heritage display to EICMA 2026. The company’s stand is in Hall 5, Stand O82, where the Diavel V4, DesertX Rally, Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP make their world premieres. Visitors can also see the Monster Dark, Panigale V4 MY27 and the Multistrada V4 Grand Tour and Pikes Peak in person for the first time. The presentation extends beyond the motorcycle range to bicycles and the outdoor MotoLive programme.

The main premieres

The Model Year 2027 Diavel V4 receives new electronic strategies, while the V4 S version adds Öhlins semi-active suspension. Ducati is also bringing both versions into its Ducati Factory Made programme. Customers can choose exclusive liveries, components and dedicated packages when ordering, with the selected equipment installed at the factory. Motorcycles displayed with this configuration carry a dedicated plaque.

The DesertX Rally takes Ducati in a different direction, targeting riders interested in rally raid and racing. Its development centres on the new V2 engine and draws on years of development work and feedback from the model’s use. Alongside it, the Panigale V4 MY27 represents the latest evolution of Ducati’s superbike, incorporating technical solutions developed through racing.

Three numbered SP editions add a sharper track focus. Ducati describes the Panigale V4 SP as a machine for riders seeking the ultimate on-track experience, while the Streetfighter V4 SP is positioned as the top expression of that family. The Panigale V2 SP has a more specific role: it was created as the homologation model for the motorcycle that will compete in the Supersport World Championship from next year.

The 2027 range and a wider off-road push

The 2027 line-up also brings new liveries for the XDiavel, Multistrada V2 and Scrambler Full Throttle, together with the new Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE and Hypermotard V2 RVE. Ducati is previewing the Desmo250 EDS as another addition to its off-road family, with European dealership availability planned for summer 2027. The preview follows the Desmo450 EDS presentation one year earlier, described by Ducati as its first modern enduro bike.

The stand also hosts the full new high-performance bicycle range from the Ducati Cycling project. It includes the Monoscocca racing road bike, the GraviaX performance gravel bike and two versions of the e-Enduro platform, the DM-160 R and DM-170 RR. The result is a broader display of performance products rather than a motorcycle-only presentation.

From MotoGP and Superbike to the centenary

Ducati’s racing identity is represented by the DesmosediciGP competing for the 2026 Riders’ World Championship with Marc Márquez. The display also includes the Panigale V2 that won the Lenovo V2 Future Champ Ducati Academy with Jesus Torres, and the Panigale V4 R, presented as World Champion with Nicolò Bulega. In the Superbike World Championship, Ducati says it won every race, its 18th Riders’ World Title, its 22nd Manufacturers’ Title and the Teams’ Title. The Manufacturers’ Title was Ducati’s 22nd in 39 championships since the series began in 1988. Ducati also lists riders’ titles in the EuroMoto, German SBK, British Superbike, Australian Superbike, All-Japan Superbike and Asian continental series.

The exhibition “100 YEARS. 100 STORIES. 100 Defining Moments of Ducati's First Century” brings motorcycles and engines from the Ducati Museum and company archives to EICMA. Located at the South Entrance, it includes race-winning machines associated with Capirossi, Stoner, Bagnaia, Fogarty and Bautista, as well as the Superleggera V4 Centenario Tricolore, Marco Lucchinelli’s 750 F1 BOT, Mike Hailwood’s 1978 Tourist Trophy-winning 900 SS and Bruno Spaggiari’s 750 Imola Desmo. It remains open throughout EICMA 2026. Visitors can also pre-order the Official Ducati Centenary Book at the stand using a dedicated QR Code.

Meetings and the Champions Charity Race

The event schedule begins on Wednesday 4 November, when Romain Febvre appears at 11:00. On Thursday 5 November, Iker Lecuona is scheduled for 12:30 and 17:00, Michele Pirro for 15:00, and the two Garage51 press conferences—the V2 Future Champ Ducati Academy and V4 Elite Cup—for 14:00 on Wednesday and 11:00 on Thursday. Jesus Torres will meet visitors on Thursday at 14:30. Nicolò Bulega is scheduled at the stand on Friday 6 November at 12:30 and 17:00.

The later programme includes Tony Cairoli, Alessandro Lupino, Andrea Bonacorsi, Davide Stirpe, Kevin Vandi and Marc Reiner Schmidt, continuing through Sunday 8 November. At MotoLive, the Desmo450 MX will take part in the Champions Charity Race on Saturday 7 November from 11:00 to 14:00 and Sunday 8 November from 10:00 to 12:00. The elimination pursuit race brings together champions from road racing and off-road disciplines. Troy Bayliss, Carlos Checa and Ruben Xaus will ride dirt-track specification motorcycles similar to those used by Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia in training. Ducati’s EICMA presence therefore links the 2027 showroom range with racing activity and a century of company history.
