Ducati’S 2027 range revealed at EICMA with five new models and an enduro preview.
Ducati’s 2027 range including five new models has been unveiled at EICMA 2026, led by an updated Diavel V4 range, a new-generation DesertX Rally and three race-inspired SP models.
The Milan announcements also include a preview of the Desmo250 EDS enduro, new Hypermotard RVE variants and fresh liveries across the range, as Ducati rounds out its centenary year.
The Diavel V4 receives styling and technology upgrades for 2027, with a new V4 S bringing semi-active Öhlins suspension to the V4-powered muscle roadster for the first time.
Drawing styling cues from the Diavel V4 RS, the updated model features new air intakes, a redesigned single-seat tail section and new wheels. Its V4 Granturismo engine retains a claimed 168CV, or approximately 124kW, while revised electronic controls aim to smooth throttle response at low and medium revs.
Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 also joins the specification, along with a 6.9-inch TFT display featuring optical bonding, standard turn-by-turn navigation and display layouts derived from the Panigale V4.
The new Diavel V4 S adds Öhlins SmartEC-3 semi-active suspension, which adjusts its response in real time, plus a lithium-ion battery, heated grips and dedicated wheel finishes.
Both versions enter the Ducati Factory Made customisation programme, allowing buyers to specify factory-fitted colours, components and packages when ordering. The V4 S offers access to the programme’s full range of colours and configurations.
For adventure riders, the DesertX Rally adopts the latest DesertX platform, built around Ducati’s 890cc V2 engine, a dedicated monocoque frame and Full Floater rear suspension.
The engine produces a claimed 110CV, or approximately 81kW, and 92Nm, with Ducati emphasising its low- and mid-range torque delivery.
The Rally’s off-road specification includes a long-travel KYB closed-cartridge fork with 48mm stanchions and Kashima and DLC surface treatments. A fully adjustable rear shock works with the progressive Full Floater linkage, while an adjustable Öhlins steering damper is also fitted.
New Takasago Excel tubeless rims retain a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear combination. The rear uses 36 spokes, while narrower rim widths are intended to improve agility on difficult terrain. Ducati says the wheels are lighter and more resistant to impacts than conventional designs.
Sportsbike riders have three new SP models to consider: the Panigale V4 SP, Panigale V2 SP and Streetfighter V4 SP.
Based on the updated 2027 Panigale V4, the numbered V4 SP combines a claimed 218CV, or approximately 160kW, with carbon-fibre wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch and Ducati’s Racing Gearbox with Neutral Lock.
Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 suspension and an adjustable rear suspension link derived from the Panigale V4 R form part of the chassis package. Larger wings and Corner Sidepods are designed to increase downforce and improve cornering performance.
The Panigale V2 SP has a specific racing role, serving as the homologation model for the new-generation V2’s entry into the World Supersport Championship in 2027.
Developed from the Panigale V2 S, it combines a variable-valve-timing V2 engine producing a claimed 120CV, or approximately 88kW, with Öhlins suspension, a longer swingarm, lighter forged wheels and a dry clutch. Ducati says development drew on experience from the Lenovo V2 Future Champs Academy, with changes targeting stability, traction and control on the track.
The Streetfighter V4 SP brings a similar approach to Ducati’s high-performance naked range. Finished in Winter Test livery, the numbered model features carbon-fibre wheels, an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, a racing final drive and machined adjustable footpegs.
Its Desmosedici Stradale engine produces a claimed 214CV, or approximately 157kW, backed by electronic Öhlins suspension and a Brembo MCS brake master cylinder with remote adjustment.
Ducati’s off-road expansion also continues with a preview of the Desmo250 EDS. Revealed a year after the Desmo450 EDS preview, the smaller enduro is scheduled to reach European dealerships in the northern summer of 2027. The announcement does not detail its engine output, chassis specification or Australian timing.
The Hypermotard range gains two RVE versions. The 698 Mono RVE wears an updated Graffiti livery and receives approved Termignoni silencers as standard in markets where they are available. The Hypermotard V2 RVE brings the treatment back to the twin-cylinder range, with a dedicated livery and expanded specification.
Elsewhere, the Scrambler Full Throttle gains a Heritage colour scheme combining green and bronze, including bronze-finished aluminium wheels, with black exhaust heat shields and front side covers.
The XDiavel V4 Black Edition returns the cruiser to a predominantly black finish, while a new Multistrada V2 Sport livery draws inspiration from the Pikes Peak, pairing black bodywork with Racing Red wheels and side-panel details.
EICMA also provides the first opportunity to see several previously announced models in the metal, including the Monster Dark, Multistrada V4 Grand Tour and Pikes Peak, and the updated 2027 Panigale V4.
Alongside the new machinery, Ducati is marking its centenary with an exhibition tracing 100 significant moments from its history. The display includes motorcycles from its museum and archives, the Collezione 100 series and race-winning machines associated with riders including Casey Stoner, Francesco Bagnaia, Carl Fogarty and Mike Hailwood.
