Ducati Plans To Roll Out Motocross Bikes In India In 2026

Ducati India plans to expand its product range in the Indian market by launching its motocross offerings in the country next year, said its Managing Director Bipul Chandra on Wednesday.

"Ducati's commitment to bringing every model to India, regardless of demand, underscores its strategic importance to the brand globally," Chandra said.

The Italian superbike manufacturer's various products lined up for India include upgraded versions of the existing motorcycles.

The senior executive told news agency PTI that the company will introduce new variants of Scambler and Multistrada, among other models.

"And then in 2026, we will see the company launch the motocross bikes. We have already started taking part in the competition globally, and we have started winning them. So we are very excited about that. That's a new segment we shall be entering," Chandra said.

Ducati on Wednesday introduced the all-new 2025 Panigale V4 in the Indian market.

The motorcycle maker has come out with two versions, V4 and V4S, which have ex-showroom prices of Rs 29.99 lakh and Rs 35.6 lakh, respectively.

Chandra said the demand for high-performance motorcycles is stronger than ever in the market and the company is witnessing a passionate and evolving community of riders eager to experience the best in the superbike segment at the racetrack.

He pointed that the company saw a sales growth of 6-7% in 2024 over 2023 and expects the growth momentum to continue this year as well.

"For 2025, the company anticipates further growth due to the launch of several new bikes," Chandra said.

The company's sales remain robust with strong demand for products, he noted.
