A limited-run superbike pushes performance and engineering into new territory.
A Centennial Machine Like No Other
To mark its 100th anniversary, Ducati introduces the Superleggera V4 Centenario, an ultra-exclusive model limited to just 500 units. Built as a celebration of the brand’s racing heritage and technical innovation, the bike immediately stands out as the first road-legal motorcycle to feature a carbon-ceramic braking system, setting a new benchmark in high-performance engineering.
Lightweight Engineering Meets Extreme Power
The Centenario is built around a fully carbon-fiber structure, including the frame, swingarm and wheels, helping keep the weight down to just 173 kg (around 380 lbs). Power comes from Ducati’s Desmosedici Stradale R 1100 engine, producing 228 horsepower in standard form and up to 247 horsepower with the included racing kit. Performance is further enhanced by a MotoGP-derived electronics suite, incorporating advanced control systems like Dynamic Engine Brake technology.
Exclusive Details and Collector Appeal
Finished in a striking Rosso Centenario livery, the bike also influences Ducati’s 2026 racing aesthetic. For collectors, Ducati is offering an even rarer “Tricolore” variant limited to 100 units, paying tribute to the historic 750 F1 endurance racer. Owners gain access to exclusive apparel and select buyers will receive a MotoGP Experience track day, adding an extra layer to what is already one of Ducati’s most ambitious releases.
