Ducati has unveiled five new motorcycles at EICMA 2026 in Milan, expanding its 2027 line-up. These include the updated Diavel V4 and DesertX Rally, along with three new SP models: the Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP.
The manufacturer has also introduced new colour schemes for several existing models, including the XDiavel, Scrambler Full Throttle and Multistrada V2. Additionally, it has showcased the Desmo250 EDS, a new enduro motorcycle that is scheduled to arrive at European dealerships in summer 2027. The announcements come as Ducati celebrates its 100th anniversary, with a dedicated exhibition at EICMA showcasing 100 significant moments from the manufacturer’s history.
2027 Ducati Diavel V4 gets a new S variant
The 2027 Ducati Diavel V4 gets a sportier design, with styling inspired by the Diavel V4 RS. The updates include new air intakes, a redesigned single-seat tail section, new wheels and revised detailing.
The biggest addition to the range is the return of the Diavel V4 S, marking the first time an S variant has been introduced in the V4 era. It gets Ohlins SmartEC3 semi-active electronic suspension, a lithium-ion battery, heated grips and dedicated alloy wheel finishes.
Both versions continue to use the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, which produces 168hp. Ducati says it has revised the engine’s electronic control system to improve throttle response at low and medium engine speeds. The motorcycle also gets the new Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 system and a 6.9-inch TFT display with standard turn-by-turn navigation.
The 2027 model year also sees the introduction of Ducati Factory Made customisation for the Diavel, allowing buyers to choose exclusive colours, components and factory-fitted packages.
Ducati DesertX Rally gets a new 890cc V2 engine
The new Ducati DesertX Rally has been developed for adventure touring and rally-raid riding. For 2027, it moves to the latest platform, with Ducati’s new 890cc V2 engine, a dedicated monocoque frame and Full Floater rear suspension.
The V2 engine produces 110hp and 92Nm, with Ducati claiming a strong torque delivery at low and medium engine speeds. The motorcycle also gets a dedicated chassis setup aimed at improving control and precision while riding off-road.
The DesertX Rally is equipped with long-travel KYB suspension, including a closed-cartridge competition fork with Kashima Coating and DLC treatments. The rear gets a fully adjustable professional shock absorber, while an adjustable Ohlins steering damper is also fitted.
The motorcycle is aimed at riders who want a more competition-focused adventure machine, with its suspension and chassis designed to handle demanding off-road terrain.
2027 Ducati Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP revealed
Ducati has also unveiled three exclusive SP models, with the Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP joining the 2027 range. All three are limited-edition, numbered motorcycles, with additional hardware aimed at improving performance on track.
The Panigale V4 SP is based on the 2027 Panigale V4 and gets carbon-fibre wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch and a racing gearbox. It also features revised aerodynamics, including larger wings and Corner Sidepods, along with Ohlins Smart EC 3.0 electronic suspension.
The Panigale V2 SP, meanwhile, has been developed as the homologation model for Ducati’s motorcycle that will compete in the World Supersport Championship from 2027. It gets Ohlins suspension, forged wheels, a longer swingarm and a dry clutch.
The Streetfighter V4 SP sits at the top of the Streetfighter range. It gets carbon-fibre wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, electronic Ohlins suspension and a Brembo MCS master cylinder with remote adjustment. The motorcycle is designed to offer the performance of the Panigale V4 SP in a naked-bike package.
Ducati showcases the Desmo250 EDS
Ducati has previewed the Desmo250 EDS, expanding its off-road line-up. The motorcycle follows the Desmo450 EDS, which was previewed at EICMA last year and marked Ducati’s entry into the modern enduro segment.
The Desmo250 EDS is expected to reach European dealerships in summer 2027. Ducati has not yet revealed detailed technical specifications for the motorcycle. The smaller enduro is expected to broaden Ducati’s off-road offering, although its positioning and availability in other markets remain unconfirmed.
Ducati introduces new liveries for 2027
Alongside the new motorcycles, Ducati has introduced new colour schemes across its existing range
The Scrambler Full Throttle gets a new Heritage livery featuring a green and bronze colour scheme inspired by racing motorcycles and cars from the 1970s. The aluminium wheels also get the same colour treatment, while the exhaust heat shields and front side covers feature black finishes.
The XDiavel V4 returns to a black colour scheme with the new Black Edition, which Ducati says is the boldest and most imposing expression of the model.
