This year's event is about to begin, starting on Tuesday, November 7 and continue until Sunday, November 12, 2023. And Ducati has been gearing up for a remarkable presence at this year's EICMA. For my fellow Ducatista, this is an overview about what to expect, to include new Ducati motorcycle releases and the different activities happening around the exhibition space.2024 Ducati Panigale V4 SP2 30th Anniversario 916 Special Edition
The highlight of the 2024 range will be unveiled live at 5pm on Tuesday, November 7th.

One of the star attractions at the Ducati stand will undoubtedly be the iconic Panigale V4 R. This impressive bike, ridden by Alvaro Bautista, recently secured the World Superbike championship at Jerez, earning Ducati the prestigious "triple crown" of riders', teams', and manufacturers' titles. Alongside the Panigale V4 R, Ducati will also showcase the Desmosedici GP, which will be ridden by Pecco Bagnaia in the final three MotoGP races, as he competes for the riders' title alongside Jorge Martin. Ducati has already secured the constructors' title in Indonesia, and both bikes will be displayed in the yellow livery used by the official MotoGP and WorldSBK riders during the Italian rounds of their championships, as well as in the final test at Jerez for the Superbike.Ducati V21L MotoE
Ducati will also display the V21L electric prototype, which set new records in the 2023 FIM Enel MotoE World Championship. The V21L will showcase its special livery inspired by Ducati's racing history, which captivated audiences at the IAA MOBILITY in Munich. On Friday, the V21L will make way for the Panigale V2 Supersport, the victorious bike in the World Championship with Nicolò Bulega.Motocross Champion
Thursday will also be a visit from Antonio Cairoli, the nine-time Motocross World Champion. Cairoli recently joined the Ducati family as a high-performance test rider and will contribute to the development of a prototype for the Italian Motocross Championship 2024.Ducati Multistrada
Ducati will also unveil new models as part of their World Premiere. The Multistrada family will be expanded with the V4 S Grand Tour, a motorcycle fully equipped for travel, and the incredible V4 RS, which is touted as the most sporty, exclusive, and thrilling Multistrada ever created. Powered by the Desmosedici Stradale engine with a dry clutch, the V4 RS promises an exhilarating riding experience.- 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour - Pictures & Info
