Ducati is hitting the 2026 season with a bold injection of colour, directly connecting its road machines to its storied heritage and modern racing success. The new range sees the beloved Giallo Ducati (Yellow) make a full return to the line-up, while the flagship V4 S models get a spectacular Corse Livery directly inspired by the Desmosedici GP25.
The Sunshine of Speed: Giallo Ducati is Back
Yellow has always held a special, albeit secondary, place in Borgo Panigale’s history. While Ducati Red defines the brand, the yellow shade of Giallo Ducati first shone in 1972 on the iconic 750 Sport. It has long been a favourite of enthusiasts looking for something unique.
Following its triumphant return on special WorldSBK and MotoGP liveries at Misano in 2023, Giallo Ducati is now available as a primary colour option for two of the best-performing machines in the line-up: the Panigale V2 S and the Streetfighter V2 S.
This vibrant new finish perfectly highlights the muscular, aggressive lines of both the fully-faired superbike and its potent naked sibling. Powering these mid-capacity stars is the responsive 955cc Superquadro engine, producing a thrilling approximately 153-155 hp (depending on the model) that makes them exhilarating both on the road and track.
The V2 S models in Giallo Ducati are expected to start arriving in the UK and EU from November 2025, bringing a bright splash of history to the roads.
Corse Livery: The Desmosedici GP25 Spirit for the Road
For those who want to ride a machine that looks as close to a factory MotoGP bike as possible, the new Corse Livery for the Panigale V4 S and Streetfighter V4 S is the ultimate statement.
This livery is directly inspired by the colours of the Desmosedici GP25 and captures the aggressive, adrenaline-fuelled spirit of competition. It uses the traditional Ducati Red as a backdrop, but features bold, fluorescent red "curve" graphics that accentuate the bike's aerodynamic forms.
Adding the finishing touch are the iconic slash-shaped number plates that bring a true factory racing aesthetic to the road. With the Panigale V4 S and Streetfighter V4 S featuring the immense power of the Desmosedici Stradale engine—delivering 215.5 hp—this racing livery feels perfectly suited to the performance on tap.
Availability for the Corse models:
- Panigale V4 S Corse: Arriving in the UK and EU from January 2026.
- Streetfighter V4 S Corse: Following shortly after, arriving in the UK and EU from March 2026.
These new colours reinforce Ducati's commitment to blending racing prowess with unparalleled road presence. Whether you prefer the classic flash of yellow or the cutting-edge aggression of the GP25 livery, there’s a new Ducati waiting to turn heads.
