Renowned Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, is making a significant impact at EICMA 2024 with the launch of its new 2025 models and a range of fan activities. Taking centre stage at Hall 15, Stand N02, Ducati’s display includes the newly unveiled Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2, as well as a variety of bikes from their latest lineup, which will be available for public viewing until Sunday, November 10.
The Panigale V2, the lightest Panigale to date, marks a milestone for Ducati’s mid-size sportbike segment. The Streetfighter V2, a naked version equipped with Ducati’s Fight Formula, also joins the lineup. Both models are powered by the new Ducati V2 engine, as revealed in the sixth episode of the Ducati World Première 2025. Alongside these, Ducati is showcasing the Panigale V4 series, including the V4, V4 S, and a track-oriented version that introduces innovations such as the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) and Race eCBS for enhanced electronic stability.
Adding to the variety, the Multistrada V4 and V4 S are on display, featuring updates like Skyhook semi-active suspension and the Automatic Lowering Device. The sporty Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak model stands out with its Ohlins SmartEC suspension and 17-inch wheels. The Ducati Scrambler section features the Icon Dark, Full Throttle, and a collector’s Scrambler 10th Anniversary Rizoma Edition.
Also present are models from the Hypermotard family (including the 950 RVE and 698 Mono), the DesertX Rally with Discovery models, the award-winning Diavel V4, and the Monster in both standard and SP trims. Ducati’s latest Powerstage RR E-bike and 2025 apparel collection, including the Ducati Smart Air jacket developed with Dainese, are also on display.
Ducati’s racing machines are a major attraction, with the DesmosediciGP used by Francesco Bagnaia, who is in contention for the MotoGP championship. Additionally, the Panigale V4 R, which earned Ducati its 20th World Constructors' Superbike title with Nicolò Bulega, is featured alongside the V21L electric prototype used in the FIM Enel MotoE World Championship. The Desmo450 MX, Italy’s MX1 champion in its debut season with Alessandro Lupino, is on display, with a dedicated QR code allowing visitors to book the model.
Throughout the week, fans can meet Ducati racers and ambassadors during scheduled Meet & Greet sessions. Álvaro Bautista kicked off the events on Wednesday, with Nicolò Bulega and Desmo450 MX riders Alessandro Lupino and Tony Cairoli participating on Thursday. Further Meet & Greets feature Supersport World Champion Adrian Huertas, test rider Michele Pirro, MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi, and Hypermotard 698 Mono rider Kevin Vandi. YouTube personality Fil will also meet fans on Saturday and Sunday.
In the EICMA Motolive area, the Champions Charity Race takes place on Thursday and Friday, featuring two heats of twin-cylinder races, where Ducati’s DesertX Rally competes with Antoine Meo and Danilo Petrucci at the helm. Petrucci races on Thursday and Meo on Friday, with prize ceremonies scheduled after each event.
EICMA’s special exhibition, “110 Years of Two-Wheel Design,” located at the South Gate entrance, includes Ducati’s iconic 916, which celebrates its 30th anniversary, alongside a Monster 900 and Superleggera V4. Visitors can also explore official Ducati merchandise at Daemon Race’s stand in Hall 15 and test their skills on a Panigale V4 R simulator in the EICMA Gaming Arena, offering a virtual lap around the Misano Adriatico circuit.
