The list below brings together all content in which Ducati is featured — ranging from production models and special editions to racing projects and strategic decisions made by the manufacturer.
Marc Marquez only came home fifth at the Austrian Grand Prix because the front brake lever had no firm bite point for long stretches. After the race, three more Ducati riders reported exactly the same problem: Francesco Bagnaia, Fermin Aldeguer and Fabio Di Giannantonio.
An updated document from the Californian environmental agency CARB lists a new Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP for model year 2027. The track-focused version of the V4 naked bike is therefore apparently returning to the range after a one-year break.
Ducati has published the full specifications and the price of the Desmo450 SM. The brand’s first race supermoto costs from 13,290 euros in Germany, weighs 109 kilograms ready to ride without fuel and reaches selected European dealers from December 2026.
Californian registration documents list two model names that do not exist in Ducati’s current line-up. Both point to a renewed collaboration between Ducati and British car manufacturer Bentley.
Jorge Martin has explained his collapse at the San Marino Grand Prix with arm pump and is now considering surgery in the middle of the title fight. Marc Marquez meanwhile talks about a mental step, Ducati plays down its own favourite status and Marco Bezzecchi takes the blame himself.
After the sprint at the Grand Prix of San Marino, Pecco Bagnaia spoke of frustration and humiliation and admitted that neither he nor his team can explain the behaviour of his Ducati. At the same time two penalties for impeding have triggered a fundamental debate in the paddock, and at Honda and Yamaha Saturday’s problems remain unsolved.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner made two different statements about Ducati’s future within a single day. Neither version says anything has been decided, but since the supervisory board resolution of 4 September the brand from Borgo Panigale is on the Volkswagen Group’s review list.
The 2027 MotoGP season brings the biggest rule change in years: 850 cubic centimeters of displacement, Pirelli instead of Michelin and an almost completely reshuffled rider field. This page collects everything about the new era and is updated continuously.
Model year 2027 begins earlier than usual, with the first machines appearing in price lists and at dealers as early as the summer of 2026. This overview page collects every confirmed and announced motorcycle release for 2027 and is updated continuously.
Nicolo Bulega moves up from the Superbike World Championship to MotoGP for the 2027 season and will race for the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team. Ducati Corse has extended its agreement with the 26-year-old Italian, while his five-year spell with the Aruba.it Racing Superbike team comes to an end.
The ZXMoto 820RR and the Ducati Panigale V2 have long been racing against each other in the Supersport World Championship, yet they do not meet in any showroom so far. A comparison of engine, suspension, brakes and prices shows how big the gap between the Chinese newcomer and the Italian supersport bike really is in 2026.
Fermin Aldeguer stays with Ducati until the end of 2028 and moves from Gresini to Valentino Rossi’s team for the 2027 season. There he gets a current factory bike for the first time, and with it the same machinery as Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta.
Pedro Acosta explains openly why he deliberately avoids closeness in the MotoGP paddock and why his patience with KTM ran out. On 1 December he rides the Ducati for the first time, alongside a team-mate he has been compared with since his Moto3 days.
Ducati is bringing hardly any new parts to the track for the current Desmosedici GP26. Test rider Michele Pirro explains why he considers the project finished and how that can affect the final races of the season.
MotoGP is sticking with two motorcycles per rider even after the major rule change. The push by Aprilia and Ducati to cut the number of machines failed against resistance from KTM.
A Californian environmental agency has approved a Ducati Panigale V4 SP for the 2027 model year. The SP badge thus returns to the range for the first time since the previous Panigale generation.
Ducati has released the Silverstone review from its own web series, and in it Marc Márquez sounds considerably more worried than he did in front of the microphones. The garage footage shows a world champion fighting for control of his right arm – and a team-mate in pain in every right-hand corner after surgery.
The fifth generation of the Ducati Monster has been honoured with the Red Dot Design Award in the Product Design 2026 category. The jury is recognising a motorcycle that has only been in dealerships for a few months.
Raul Fernandez controlled the British Grand Prix at Silverstone from the first lap to the last and led Aprilia to a clean sweep of the podium. Behind the winner, a race with seven retirements clearly shifted the balance of power at the top of the championship.
The Italian Ministry for Enterprise and Made in Italy has approved a development contract with Ducati. The manufacturer is putting 121 million euros into research and production, 33.5 million euros of which comes from the state.
