Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro
The new Scrambler Ducati 1100 Tribute PRO celebrates the history of the Borgo Panigale house by choosing a fascinating “Giallo Ocra” livery.
A colour particularly in vogue when Ducati used on 1972 450 Desmo Mono and 750 Sport twins.
This tribute also recalls the 750 Supersport used by the Spaggiari team since 1975, which accompanied the epic period of another great Ducati rider: Franco Uncini.

Multistrada V2 S
The Multistrada V2 is a bike designed with the typical Ducati touch. It is not difficult to see that this is a Ducati motorcycle. The colour scheme is rather simplistic with Ducati Red.
It reminds you of older Ducati motorcycles from years back, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
However, the new Multistrada V2 is a bit flashy. And if you’re willing to settle for motorcycles that sell perfect for most riders, motorcycles you can last through most roads without having to think twice about them.
The power comes from the Euro 5, 937cc Testastretta 11° desmodromic twin, making 113 hp at 9,000 rpm and 71 lb-ft of torque at 7,750 rpm, or 69 lb-ft of torque at 6,750 rpm.

Thanks to the wheel exchange from a 3.5×17 inch Marchesini cast wheel with a racing profile upfront and dynamic profile at the rear, combined with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires (120/70 and 190/55 R17), with a single-sided swingarm with 6×17 inch rim.
Pikes Peak promises a great deal. The new model should be well suited for your favourite offroad with this extensive equipment.

Sachs steering and Bosch cornering ABS EVO comes as standard.
Deciding which is the best bike Ducati makes is a tough ask. The firm has an outstanding range.
And naked machines with different engine capacities and electronic rider aid. And that’s before you even get into the Ducati range: the flag-bearers for all things strange and wonderful.
The latest model to join the ranks is the Streetfighter V4 SP. A new variant on the top of the Streetfighter range.

The bike arrives with Ducati Electronic Suspension EVO. As for the suspension has Öhlins all the time, with a NIX-30 fork, TTX36 rear shock absorber. And on the front, we see Öhlins steering damper.
Brakes are Brembo semi-floating discs 330 mm on front supported by radially-mounted Brembo Stylema R monobloc callipers. We see a 245 mm single disc two-piston Brembo calliper on the opposite end.
2022 Panigale V4
Ducati unveiled the Panigale V4 S in the new fifth episode of their web series. The video is one of many marketing products the company has produced to introduce the latest version of their flagship superbike.
They have officially published an all-new digital video that unveils its technical specifications. And strengths to emphasize its unusual personality.
The company presents a symbolic and evocative film dedicated to the new Panigale V4 S., Which emphasizes the presence of the red side of the company logo on multiple occasions.
The upcoming Ducati V4 has many new technological advancements, and the Ducati team has done severe homework to improve performance. Ducati has pushed the boundaries with the new Panigale V4.
As a result, Ducati claims that the new bike has smaller winglets that deliver 37kg of downforce at 300kmph, making a natural home on the track.
Desmosedici Stradale engine now calibarates to 212.5bhp at 13,000rpm and 123.6Nm of peak torque at 9,500rpm.
Panigale V2 Bayliss
The Ducati Panigale V2 is a superbike despite its relatively young age. With aggressive, slim styling and an eye for detail matching all modern supersport machines, the Ducati offers performance and comfort few other bikes can match.
From the standard form, you can expect maximum performance potential from the bike – but of course, many people will choose to tinker with it a little to see just how fast it can go.
The V2 Bayluss arrives with the 955cc L-twin. The liquid-cooled motor makes 152.9bhp of power at 10,750rpm and 104Nm of peak torque at 9,000rpm.
Desert X
Astute readers have noted that 2021 has been a roller coaster of a year. Around the globe, OEMs are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the development cost for new models is on the rise.
Then there are safety regulations, particularly in Europe. All this could be worth it in the long term, but manufacturers and their marketing departments remain under tremendous pressure to deliver immediately.
What’s in a name?
Well, in Ducati’s case, the new Desert X is far more than a new model. As we said earlier, Ducati Desert X will arrive by 2021 end.
The Desert X gets the 937cc, L-Twin, liquid-cooled engine, and we see the same engine on the new Monster and Multistrada V2. The 937cc L-Twin can make 110bhp of power at 9,250rpm and 92Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm.
