A stand full of novelties

The stars of the stand were the two novelties equipped with the new Ducati V2 engine, presented with the sixth episode of the Ducati World Première 2025.

The new Panigale V4 was present on the Ducati stand with the V4, V4 S and a high-performance version set up for track use. Welcomed with great enthusiasm by the press and public around the world last July, the new Panigale V4 boasts a completely revised chassis and innovative electronic solutions such as the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) and Race eCBS.

The Multistrada family, recent protagonist of the international launch, was present with the V4 and V4 S models, which become even more performant, enjoyable and safe thanks to innovations such as the DVO system, extended deactivation, new strategies for the Skyhook semi-active suspension and eCBS braking system, rear fog light and Automatic Lowering Device.
