Ducati has launched two of its most exclusive motorcycles to date at the Misano World Circuit during the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix.
The Diavel V4 RS and Multistrada V4 RS were revealed by Ducati Lenovo MotoGP riders Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia in a dramatic on-track presentation.
Both bikes are built around Ducati’s MotoGP-derived Desmosedici Stradale engine and produced in numbered series.
They feature top-spec components including carbon fibre, titanium, and forged wheels, combining racing performance with everyday road capability.
The Diavel V4 RS has already claimed the title of the fastest-accelerating production Ducati ever, going from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in just 2.52 seconds.
Designed with a dragster-inspired stance, the bike delivers 182 horsepower and features a dry clutch, Öhlins suspension, and Panigale-grade braking.
With distinctive carbon bodywork and a dedicated RS livery, the Diavel’s styling is as aggressive as its performance.
Ducati says the bike’s sound, ride feel, and rider-focused electronics make for a truly visceral experience.
The Multistrada V4 RS, first introduced in 2023, returns as an even more refined and aggressive touring bike.
It keeps its long-distance DNA while introducing features straight from Ducati’s MotoGP playbook, including the Ducati Vehicle Observer system that mimics the input of 70 real-world sensors for more precise electronic response.
The Multistrada V4 RS also features adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and a titanium rear subframe to help reduce weight.
Its 180-horsepower V4 engine with desmodromic valve timing and dry clutch delivers what Ducati calls the most exhilarating Multistrada ride yet.
New forged wheels, a revised braking system, and dedicated suspension settings round out what Ducati describes as its most exciting long-distance motorcycle to date.
A fresh RS livery and numbered chassis plate underline its exclusivity.
Both bikes will be available in Europe before the end of the year.
The Multistrada V4 RS arrives in dealerships in November, followed by the Diavel V4 RS in December.
Ducati says the RS range was created for riders who see performance and design as inseparable.
Both models aim to bring the road closer than ever to the racetrack, without compromising the identity of their respective families.
Scotland’s motorcycle enthusiasts will have to wait a few months to see them in showrooms, but demand is already expected to be high.
Ducati’s new RS line blends race-bred technology, premium materials, and unmistakable Italian styling into two of the most compelling motorcycles it has ever built.
