Milan, 4 November 2025 – On the eve of its 100th birthday, Ducati arrives at EICMA with an unprecedented range of motorcycles, crowning a 2025 marked by great sporting successes. In this MotoGP season, the Borgo Panigale manufacturer confirmed its supremacy by adding a fourth consecutive Riders' Title and a sixth consecutive Manufacturers' Title to its list of achievements, as well as the Team Title. In Superbike, Ducati has achieved its 21st Manufacturers' Title (out of 38 championships contested), the fourth consecutive title for the Panigale V4 R, which also starred in the IDM, the German SBK Championship, where it won the Riders' Title. The new Panigale V4 also triumphed in the CIV SBK Production Bike, demonstrating the solidity and validity of the technical choices that gave rise to the seventh generation of Ducati Superbikes. These results confirm a solid tradition of sporting success, combined with a hundred-year history, globally recognised technological excellence and iconic design that defines its identity. A unique combination that represents the value and strength of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer. After the new models introduced at the Ducati World Première 2026 (Multistrada V4 RS and Diavel V4 RS, Panigale V4 R, Multistrada V4 Rally, Scrambler Nightshift Emerald Green), the Borgo Panigale manufacturer presents the fourth generation of Hypermotard at the last event of the year. EICMA is also the first opportunity to admire the fifth-generation Monster in person , presented digitally a few days ago, with which Ducati writes a new, important chapter in a unique and unrepeatable story that began at the Cologne Intermot in 1992. The new Monster, redesigned from scratch, combines lightness and technology based on the new V2 IVT engine with unmistakable aesthetics, creating a bike that is safe and fun to ride in a sporty context, yet manageable and enjoyable in an urban setting. More streamlined, sporty and compact, the new Monster recovers the stylistic features that have always distinguished the naked bike par excellence: the headlight framed by the ‘shoulders’ of the bison-back tank, the single seat for rider and passenger, and the short, lightweight tail. Four years after the presentation of the DesertX, the first modern Ducati with a 21" front wheel, the Bologna-based manufacturer is also bringing a preview of the new model to EICMA , which will be available from May 2026. A motorcycle with a new design, born from the desire to meet the needs of motorcyclists thanks to technical choices that improve its off-road capabilities while maintaining the pleasure of riding on asphalt. EICMA 2025 will also see the presentation of two world premieres for 2026 from Ducati's specialist off-road range: the new Desmo250 MX and Desmo450 Enduro , which will be available from July next year through the Ducati Offroad sales network. At last year's EICMA, enthusiasts were able to admire the Desmo450, winner of the Italian MX1 Prestige with Alessandro Lupino, the first chapter in a sporting experience enriched by this year's MXGP World Championship and set to expand further with the announced debut in the 2026 AMA Supercross. The 2026 Ducati range also offers two versions of the Panigale V2 dedicated to Marc Márquez and Francesco Bagnaia and new, attractive liveries on the Panigale and Streetfighter V4 and V2. The stand would not be complete without the DesmosediciGP, winner of the 2025 Riders' Title with Marc Márquez, the culmination of a sensational season in which Ducati also won the Manufacturers' and Team Titles. Alongside it was the Panigale V4 R, runner-up in the world championship with Nicolò Bulega , symbol of an exciting season that delivered Ducati its 21st Superbike Manufacturers' Title. Also alongside them was the Desmo450 MX, with which Tony Cairoli finished in the top 10 at the 2025 Motocross of Nations. These are the ingredients that make the Borgo Panigale-based manufacturer one of the main protagonists of EICMA 2025, where it is ready to welcome all enthusiasts to Hall 5, stand O82. Hypermotard V2 Twenty years after EICMA 2005, where Ducati presented the prototype of the Hypermotard 1100, the Borgo Panigale manufacturer is writing a new chapter in the history of the ‘Hyper’ with the new Hypermotard V2 and Hypermotard V2 SP . The fourth-generation Hypermotard is a completely redesigned motorcycle that carries on the legacy of a legendary model and projects it into the future thanks to a totally new technical base and a design that reinterprets and innovates a line that has made history. The result is a modern, compact, essential motorcycle that conveys lightness at first glance. With a weight reduction of 13 kg (14 kg for the SP) compared to the previous 950, the new Hypermotard V2 is more agile and responsive than ever. At the same time, it is also the most powerful of the Hypermotards, thanks to the 120 hp V2 with variable IVT timing and maximum torque of 94 Nm, 70% of which is available at 3,000 rpm, for great acceleration out of corners. The Hypermotard V2 SP is even bolder, thanks to the oversized logo that extends to the front fairing, contrasting with the white forged rims and racing details such as the carbon mudguard, gold Öhlins suspension and Brembo M50 calipers. In addition to its special livery, which refers to the 20 years since the birth of the first prototype, the Hypermotard V2 SP also features technical equipment that takes the Hyper's fun bike character even further. The presentation videos for the new Hypermotard V2 and Hypermotard V2 SP are available on Ducati's YouTube channel. DesertX 2026 In 2022, the DesertX marked the entry of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer into the world of maxi enduro bikes with 21" front wheels. Four years later, at EICMA, Ducati unveils a preview of the new DesertX, which improves its off-road capabilities thanks to the adoption of advanced suspension with progressive rear linkage. The DesertX 2026 is lighter, with a kerb weight without fuel of 206 kg*, thanks to the technical base centred on the new V2 IVT engine, which makes it more versatile and powerful, both on and off-road. The maximum power of the new DesertX is 110 hp at 9,000 rpm, and torque is 92 Nm at 7,000 rpm. All the details of the new DesertX will be revealed in February 2026. The bike will arrive in European dealerships in May. Distribution will expand to the North American market in June, and then to Japan and Australia in August. Panigale V2 MM93 and FB63. Two champions, two liveries, two unique motorcycles The Panigale V2 MM93 and FB63 celebrate the two riders of the Ducati Lenovo Team 2025, Marc Márquez and Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia. Two motorcycles produced in a numbered series, equipped with special features: forged rims that reduce weight by 1.5 kg, Öhlins steering damper, lowered clip-ons, billet steering plate, grips inspired by those of the official MotoGP bikes and racing windscreen. The MM93 livery is the one used by Marc Márquez in his first test as an official Ducati rider in Barcelona, while the FB63 livery reproduces the black and red camouflage colouring of Bagnaia's helmet, gloves and boots. Panigale V4 S Corse and Streetfighter V4 S Corse: the spirit of the Desmosedici GP25 on the road The Ducati Centro Stile has dedicated two brand new liveries to the new Panigale and Streetfighter V4, inspired by those of the official Desmosedici bikes fielded in the 2025 MotoGP World Championship by the Ducati Lenovo team. The background colour is the traditional Ducati Red, with a side view crossed by a fluorescent red ‘curve’ motif, which reinforces the link with MotoGP and celebrates Ducati's racing spirit. The white number plates feature the iconic bar-shaped number one. Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2, the Ducati Yellow is back The ‘Giallo Ducati’ yellow colour is back on the sports bikes from Borgo Panigale. First introduced in the early 1970s, the colour yellow reached its peak popularity in the 1990s, thanks to its use in competitions and on legendary production models. More recently, yellow has been used by the official MotoGP and WorldSBK teams in some Grand Prix races during the 2024 season. For 2026, Giallo Ducati is also returning to production models, alongside the traditional red on the Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2. Kit Scrambler Retro Stripe and Old Skool Checkerboard In the Scrambler space, Ducati presents two evocative aesthetic kits for those who want to make their Icon even more unique. The Retro Stripe kit is a true homage to the 1970s, the era that gave birth to graphics based on simple but dynamic lines. Old Skool Checkerboard, on the other hand, is a racer-inspired kit with graphics inspired by the chequered flag – checkerboard , in fact – a symbol of freedom, speed and rebellious spirit. All Ducati events Visitors to EICMA will be able to experience the Ducati passion thanks to the events that will enliven the week. Ducati riders and friends will meet fans at the stand. On Thursday 6 November, Álvaro Bautista will be the first star of the Meet & Greet; in the following days, it will be the turn of the Desmo250 MX and Desmo450 MX riders.
