Ducati Unveils Five New Motorcycles at EICMA 2026, Diavel V4 S and DesertX Rally Among Highlights

Ducati has unveiled five new motorcycles at EICMA 2026, expanding its global portfolio with updates across its performance, adventure and supersport segments. The new models include the updated Diavel V4, DesertX Rally, Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP.

The Italian motorcycle manufacturer has also showcased new colour options for several existing models, including the XDiavel, Multistrada V2 and Scrambler Full Throttle. The showcase comes as Ducati celebrates its 100th anniversary, with a special exhibition dedicated to the brand's history also inaugurated at the motorcycle show.

The company has further offered a preview of the new Desmo250 EDS, its upcoming enduro motorcycle, which is scheduled to reach European dealerships in summer 2027.

The updated Ducati Diavel V4 gets a sportier design and several technology upgrades for the 2027 model year. Its styling takes inspiration from the Diavel V4 RS, with revised air intakes, new wheels and a redesigned single-seat tail section. One of the biggest additions is the return of the Diavel V4 S variant. It comes with Öhlins SmartEC-3 semi-active electronic suspension, a lithium-ion battery, heated grips and exclusive alloy wheel finishes.

The motorcycle continues to use the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, producing 168hp. Ducati has also updated its electronic control system to improve throttle response at low and medium engine speeds. The bike gets the new Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 system for quicker gear changes.

Other updates include a 6.9-inch TFT display with optical bonding technology and standard turn-by-turn navigation. The 2027 model also becomes part of Ducati's Factory Made programme, allowing buyers to customise their motorcycles with exclusive colours, components and factory-fitted packages.

The Ducati DesertX Rally has been developed for riders who enjoy off-road adventures and rally-style riding. For 2027, it moves to the new DesertX platform, featuring an 890cc Ducati V2 engine, a new monocoque frame and Full Floater rear suspension.

The twin-cylinder engine produces 110hp and 92Nm of torque. Ducati says the engine has been developed to deliver strong performance, particularly at low and medium engine speeds.

The motorcycle gets long-travel KYB suspension, including a closed-cartridge front fork with Kashima Coating and DLC-treated components. At the rear, it uses a fully adjustable shock absorber. An adjustable Öhlins steering damper is also part of the package. For off-road use, the DesertX Rally gets 21-inch front and 18-inch rear Takasago Excel tubeless spoked wheels. Ducati has also revised the rear suspension setup to improve traction, comfort and control over uneven surfaces.

Ducati has introduced three limited-edition SP models at EICMA 2026, focusing on track performance and racing-inspired technology. Ducati Panigale V4 SP: The new Panigale V4 SP is based on the latest Panigale V4 MY27 and gets several components derived from Ducati's racing motorcycles. It features carbon-fibre wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, a racing gearbox and Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 suspension.

Its 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine produces 218hp. The motorcycle also gets a revised aerodynamic package with larger wings and Corner Sidepods to improve downforce and cornering performance.

Ducati Panigale V2 SP: The Panigale V2 SP is developed using the Panigale V2 S as its base. It uses the 890cc Ducati V2 engine producing 120hp and gets Öhlins suspension, forged wheels, a longer swingarm and a dry clutch.

The motorcycle has been developed with inputs from Ducati's racing activities and is intended to serve as a production-based model for the company's participation in the World Supersport Championship.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP: The Streetfighter V4 SP is the most exclusive version of Ducati's high-performance naked motorcycle range. It features carbon-fibre wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, racing final drive and adjustable machined footpegs.

Power comes from the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine producing 214hp. Other highlights include Öhlins electronic suspension and a Brembo MCS master cylinder with remote adjustment.

Ducati has also expanded its Hypermotard range with two new RVE versions.

The Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE gets an updated version of the Graffiti-inspired graphics, giving it a more distinctive appearance. It also gets Termignoni-approved silencers as standard in markets where they are available.

Meanwhile, the Hypermotard V2 RVE brings the RVE treatment to the twin-cylinder range. It gets a dedicated colour scheme and additional equipment, although Ducati has not detailed all the specifications yet.

Apart from the new motorcycles, Ducati has introduced fresh colour schemes for three models. The Scrambler Full Throttle gets a new Heritage livery featuring green and bronze shades.
