Ducati India has announced that it is planning to launch 10 new motorcycles in the coming months across its new V2 and V4 platforms. Currently, the company has dealerships in eight metro cities across India and plans to increase that number.

  1. Monster V2 and Hypermotard V2 launching this year
  2. Diavel V4 RS and updated Multistrada V2 Rally on the docket too
  3. Multiple special edition bikes and a dirt bike launching too

New Ducati V2 and V4 bikes launching in India soon

Some of these will be new bikes, while some will be special editions of existing models

Ducati already kicked off 2026 with the launch of the Panigale V4 R a few days ago, with someone already taking delivery of its WSBK homologation special in Chennai as well. The next Ducati launch of 2026 will be the updated Multistrada V4 Rally, followed by the Panigale V4 Lamborghini edition. Following those two will be the company’s first modern-day off-road bike – the Desmo450 MX.  

In Q3 2026, Ducati will launch the new 890cc Monster V2 and both special editions of the Panigale V2 celebrating its MotoGP riders, Marc Márquez and Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia. Following these V2 machines will be the mad Diavel V4 RS power cruiser.  

The last quarter of 2026 will see the launch of the new Hypermotard V2 and its higher-spec SP variant by the end of October. Ducati claims its final launch for the year will be the Panigale V4 Marc Márquez Replica in the last month of the calendar year.

In addition to these new bikes, Ducati India is looking to grow its dealer network, which currently spans eight metro cities across the country: Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi and Kolkata.

Poll of the month

There will be 12 new Citroen and Jeep launches by 2030. Will this boost interest in these brands?

Yes, fresh models is just what's needed.
