Italian motorcycle maker Ducati has revealed five new motorcycles at EICMA 2026 in Milan. The line-up includes an updated Diavel V4, a new DesertX Rally and three limited-edition SP models. Ducati has also previewed a smaller off-road bike, the Desmo250 EDS, which is due to go on sale in Europe next year. The details come from Ducati's own announcement at the show.

The three SP models are the Panigale V4 SP, the Panigale V2 SP and the Streetfighter V4 SP. Each is a numbered edition aimed at riders who want more track-focused parts. The Panigale V4 SP is rated at about 215 hp and uses carbon fibre wheels and Öhlins electronic suspension. The Panigale V2 SP is rated at about 120 hp and is the homologation bike for Ducati's next World Supersport race machine. The Streetfighter V4 SP is rated at about 214 hp and also gets carbon fibre wheels.

Diavel V4 and DesertX Rally

The updated Diavel V4 keeps its 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine, which Ducati puts at about 165 to 168 hp depending on the source. The return of the V4 S variant brings Öhlins electronic semi-active suspension, a battery of the lithium-ion type and heated grips. Buyers can also choose factory-fitted colours and parts through Ducati's Factory Made customisation programme.

The DesertX Rally moves to a new 890 cc V2 engine and a dedicated monocoque frame. Ducati rates it at about 108 to 110 hp and 92 Nm of torque. It has 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tubeless wheels, made for off-road riding.

Other models on show

The show also includes the Monster Dark, Multistrada V4 Grand Tour, Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak and Panigale V4 MY27, which Ducati revealed earlier in its 2027 programme. Ducati has also introduced new colour schemes for the XDiavel, Scrambler Full Throttle and Multistrada V2, along with new RVE versions of the Hypermotard 698 Mono and Hypermotard V2.

The announcement did not give prices or Indian launch dates for the new models. It also did not say when the Desmo250 EDS will be priced or when it will reach India.
