Ducati has unveiled the Superleggera V4 Centenario, its most extreme road-legal motorcycle ever. There will be only 500 numbered masterpieces, representing the pinnacle of Ducati's technological expertise, created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Borgo Panigale-based manufacturer
The Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario is the first road legal bike in the world to feature a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs and a fork with carbon fibre sleeves. A carbon-fibre frame, swingarm and bodywork, combined with meticulous attention to every detail, result in a wet weight without fuel of 173 kg, which drops to 167 kg when fitted with the racing kit supplied as standard
The Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario is powered by a Desmosedici Stradale R 1100 engine, featuring hand-tuned desmodromic valve timing, delivers 228 hp in this model, rising to 247 hp in track configuration, resulting in an unprecedented power-to-weight ratio of 1.48 hp/kg. The livery of the Superleggera V4 Centenario is based on the new Rosso Centenario colour, created to mark this significant anniversary and which has inspired the official 2026 MotoGP and SBK liveries.
In addition to the 500 Superleggera V4 Centenario bikes, there are 100 Superleggera V4 Centenario Tricolore bikes, to further mark this historic milestone for the Borgo Panigale-based manufacturer. The livery creates a link between tradition, the present and the future, combining the vision of new technologies with the colours of tradition.
The Superleggera V4 Centenario offers the chance to make an even more incredible dream come true. Twenty-six of its owners will be given access to the MotoGP Experience: a day on the track, guided by Ducati instructors, to discover the Superleggera's performance, culminating in a breathtaking finale aboard the DesmosediciGP26. The MotoGP Experience will take place on 6 and 7 July, immediately following World Ducati Week 2026.
