Every November, Milan becomes the center of the motorcycle world, and every November Ducati saves something special for EICMA. This year was bigger than usual. Ducati is celebrating its centenary, and on November 2, 2026, ahead of the show's opening, Borgo Panigale unveiled five all-new models that complete the 2027 range: the Diavel V4, the DesertX Rally, and three exclusive SP models, the Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP. Add a handful of new liveries, two new Hypermotard RVE models and a preview of a new small-bore enduro, and there is a lot to unpack.
Here's what's new, model by model, straight from Ducati.
Diavel V4 and the return of the Diavel V4 S
The Diavel has been Ducati's "Muscle Roadster" since 2010, and for 2027 it gets sharper. The new Diavel V4 borrows styling from the Diavel V4 RS, including new air intakes, plus a redesigned single-seat tail, new wheels and new electronic control strategies.
The bigger story is the return of the S. For the first time in the V4 era, there's a Diavel V4 S, and it brings Öhlins semi-active suspension that adjusts the bike's behavior in real time. Ducati also lists a lithium-ion battery, heated grips and dedicated alloy wheel finishes on the S.
Both versions keep the 168 hp V4 Granturismo engine, now with updated electronics for smoother low- and mid-range response, and Ducati Quick Shift 2.0. The dash moves to a 6.9-inch TFT with optical bonding, standard turn-by-turn navigation and Panigale V4-derived display layouts, as seen on the Diavel V4 RS.
The Diavel is also joining the Ducati Factory Made program, so buyers can choose factory-fitted liveries, components and packages when they order. The V4 S gets the widest selection, including the full Factory Made color set.
Heated grips and a semi-active chassis on a 168 hp cruiser? That's a Diavel built for riding every month of the year, including here in Portland.
DesertX Rally
The DesertX Rally is Ducati's answer for riders who take adventure riding toward rally raid. For 2027 it moves onto the new DesertX platform:
- Engine: 890 cc Ducati V2, 110 hp and 92 Nm, with strong low- and mid-range torque. Ducati says it's the lightest engine it has built in this class.
- Chassis: a new dedicated monocoque frame and Full Floater rear suspension with progressive linkages.
- Suspension: KYB long-travel suspension with a closed-cartridge competition fork; the 48 mm stanchions get Kashima Coating and DLC treatment. The rear shock is fully adjustable, and an adjustable Öhlins steering damper is fitted.
- Wheels: Takasago Excel tubeless rims, 21-inch front and 18-inch rear, with a 36-spoke rear.
That's a competition-grade spec sheet on a bike you can still ride to the trailhead.
Panigale V4 SP
The new Panigale V4 SP is a numbered series built on the new 2027 Panigale V4, aimed squarely at track day riders. It's the most track-focused way to buy a Panigale V4 with a license plate, and the parts list shows it:
- 218 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine
- Ducati Racing Gearbox with Neutral Lock
- STM EVO-SBK dry clutch
- Carbon-fiber wheels
- Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 suspension with an adjustable rear link derived from the Panigale V4 R
- A new aero package with larger wings and Corner Sidepods for more downforce and better cornering
If you spend your summers at The Ridge or PIR, this is the Panigale built for you.
Panigale V2 SP
The Panigale V2 SP is the homologation model for the bike Ducati will race in the FIM Supersport World Championship next year. It starts from the Panigale V2 S and was refined using what Ducati learned from the Lenovo V2 Future Champs Academy.
Power comes from the 120 hp Ducati V2 with variable valve timing. Ducati adds Öhlins suspension, a longer swingarm, lighter forged wheels and a dry clutch that allows the use of Ducati Corse Performance Oil, plus an updated electronics package and changes aimed at agility, traction and control.
Streetfighter V4 SP
The Streetfighter V4 SP returns as the top of the Streetfighter range: a numbered series in the traditional "Winter Test" livery. It runs the 214 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine with latest-generation electronic Öhlins suspension, carbon-fiber wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, a racing final drive, machined adjustable footpegs and a Brembo MCS master cylinder with remote adjustment.
Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE and Hypermotard V2 RVE
Two new Hypermotards join the "fun bike" family for 2027. The Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE gets an evolved Graffiti livery and Termignoni-approved silencers as standard where available. The Hypermotard V2 RVE brings the RVE treatment back to the twin-cylinder Hyper, with its own livery and a more comprehensive spec.
New liveries for 2027
- Scrambler Full Throttle Heritage: green and bronze, inspired by 1970s racing, with matching alloy wheels and black exhaust heat shields and front side covers.
- XDiavel V4 Black Edition: a return to black, two years after the V4's launch.
- Multistrada V2 Sport: inspired by the Multistrada Pikes Peak, with black bodywork, Racing Red wheels and side-panel details.
Also on the stand
EICMA was also the first chance to see several recently announced bikes in person: the Panigale V4 MY27, the Monster Dark, and the 2027 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour and Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak.
A preview: Desmo250 EDS
One year after previewing the Desmo450 EDS, its first modern enduro, Ducati brought another preview to Milan: the Desmo250 EDS. Ducati says it will reach European dealerships in summer 2027. US timing hasn't been announced yet, and we'll share details as Ducati releases them.
100 years, 100 stories
To mark the centenary, Ducati built an exhibition at EICMA called "100 Years. 100 Stories.", a timeline of 100 moments in Ducati history. It included the Superleggera V4 Centenario Tricolore, the Collezione 100 bikes, Marco Lucchinelli's 750 F1 BOT, Mike Hailwood's 1978 Tourist Trophy-winning 900 SS, Bruno Spaggiari's 750 Imola Desmo, and MotoGP and Superbike winners ridden by Capirossi, Stoner, Bagnaia, Fogarty and Bautista. EICMA was the final stop for the Collezione 100 tour, which started at the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.
