Ducati has presented five motorcycles of its 2027 model year at EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy. They are the Diavel V4, DesertX Rally, Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP. The company also gave a glimpse of a smaller enduro bike, the Desmo250 EDS. With these models Ducati has catered to varied needs, from sports riding to off-road travel.

The Panigale V4 SP is the most talked-about bike at the exhibition. Its 1,103 cc engine makes 218 hp. The bike has carbon fibre wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch and Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 suspension. It also features Ducati Racing Gearbox technology.

The Panigale V2 SP makes 120 hp. The model has been developed as the homologation bike for Ducati's next World Supersport race bike. The Streetfighter V4 SP makes 214 hp and comes with carbon fibre wheels and electronic Öhlins suspension.

The Diavel V4 has also received some changes for 2027. The new Diavel V4 S has Öhlins SmartEC-3 semi-active suspension, a lithium-ion battery, heated grips and a special wheel finish. Its 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine makes 168 hp. The bike's electronics have been improved, and a 6.9-inch TFT display offers turn-by-turn navigation. So that customers can personalise their bikes, the Diavel V4 has been included in the Ducati Factory Made customisation programme.

The DesertX Rally, built for off-road riding, gets a new 890 cc V2 engine from 2027. The engine produces 110 hp and 92 Nm of torque. The bike has a monocoque frame, Full Floater rear suspension and 48 mm closed-cartridge KYB front forks. It runs a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel, fitted with Takasago Excel tubeless rims.

The Desmo250 EDS has been shown as an enduro bike smaller than the Desmo450 EDS. The company has not yet released its technical details.

Ducati's stall also displays the Monster Dark, Multistrada V4 Grand Tour, Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak and the 2027 Panigale V4. A special exhibition marks the company's 100-year journey, with racing bikes linked to Casey Stoner, Francesco Bagnaia, Carl Fogarty and Troy Bayliss.
