American Ducati enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to as the Italian brand officially kicks off Q1 2026 with two new exciting models arriving in United States dealerships in March.
For consumers who love long-distance riding and venturing into the unknown, or who want a high-performance touring machine with a sporty feel, Ducati has two of its latest Multistrada models that will be available – the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally and Multistrada V4 RS.
The prestige of representing the iconic Italian marque, combined with a sense of adventure, offers riders unmatched comfort and safety, thanks to top-tier technology and premium ergonomics that make traveling from A to Z a truly luxurious experience.
2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally – $31,995
Fresh out of Borgo Panigale is the newest V4 Rally, a bike that priortizies long journeys across any terrain. This model is equipped with a brand-new Ducati Vehicle Observer, derived from the Panigale V4, to enhance cornering ABS, traction, and wheelie control for a safe ride.
The V4 Rally can accommodate up to two riders and provides high-standard protection, featuring a larger windscreen that is 40mm higher and 20mm wider. Passengers benefit from improved stability, and Ducati has integrated an Automotive Lowering Device, a new piece of technology that lowers the bike when traveling below 6 mph.
This allows for a safer approach to riding on any terrain, while Ducati’s double-sided swingarm enhances suspension stability when both rider and passenger are on board. Its Skyhook EVO semi-active suspension ensures greater adaptability on various ground.
With five distinct riding modes, Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro, and the newest, Wet, the V4 Rally offers a practical upgrade to an already powerful 1,158cc Ducati V4 Granturismo engine. Riders can confidently travel long distances thanks to the 7.9-gallon fuel tank, providing extended range and convenience on every journey.
Pricing starts at $31,995.
2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS – $39,995
The reputation of the Bologna manufacturer is often attributed to its Panigale models, but for those seeking a balance between a sportsbike and a touring machine, this model may be the ideal choice.
Speed is key, as at its heart is the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine, with a limiter set at 13,500 rpm. Riders can enjoy high performance while benefitting from components designed to provide stability and comfort, maximizing the power at every turn.
Its state-of-the-art electronics package includes the brand-new Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, enabling riders to upshift without using the clutch or closing the throttle. This technology makes handling the engine’s power smoother and more precise, even at high speeds.
Compared to the V4 Rally, this model has only a single-sided swingarm, and a feature Ducati has created includes the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, an implementation adapting based on riders’ riding style. There are four suspension modes: Track, Dynamic, Touring and Low Grip, offering impeccable rideability regardless of the surface.
Pricing starts at $39,995.
America Is Ducati’s Second Strongest Market
It is no surprise that Ducati’s best-selling country was its native Italy, but 2025 proved to be a very successful year for the brand across the Atlantic. Sales in the United States grew by 4%, reaching 7,268 units.
Although the growth was smaller than in Italy’s neighboring countries, it was still enough for the U.S. to become the second-largest market to which Borgo Panigale distributes its motorcycles.
In 2025, Ducati’s best-selling model range was the Multistrada, with 13,873 units sold. This reflects the growing popularity of adventure bikes, and Ducati’s touring and adventure machines continue to be a hit thanks to its cutting-edge technology and mesmerising performance.
Germany is Ducati’s third-largest market, delivering 5,759 motorcycles, while Spain and Austria recorded 15% and 14%, respectively. In Asia, Japan’s sales rose by 11% too, while China’s reported figures declined by 31%.
