Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 19 December 2025 – To mark the triumph of Marc Márquez, who gave Ducati its fourth consecutive MotoGP Riders’ title and the fifth in its history, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer unveiled the new Panigale V4 Márquez 2025 World Champion Replica, a collector’s item of just 293 units, featuring a MotoGP-inspired livery and exclusive components.
A victory that reflects the value of teamwork, which was celebrated by Ducati by paying homage to its core fans: the women and men who, every day, work to build the red dream on two wheels. To celebrate the sporting successes of the past season with them, Ducati brought together in Borgo Panigale the protagonists of MotoGP, Superbike, and Motocross who, in 2025, took the brand’s technical and engineering excellence to the tracks of the most prestigious championships.
Throughout the day, workers and employees had the opportunity to meet Marc Márquez and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), Álex Márquez and Fermín Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing Team), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), Nicolò Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), along with Michele Pirro, Motocross riders Tony Cairoli, Alessandro Lupino, Jeremy Seewer, and the promising young riders Ferruccio Zanchi of the MX2 Championship and Simone Mancini of the EMX250 Championship.
It was some of this group of riders who made up the most anticipated moment of the day, parading on their respective official race bikes. Marc Márquez, Francesco Bagnaia, Álex Márquez, Fermín Aldeguer and Fabio Di Giannantonio riding their Desmosedici GPs, Nicolò Bulega on the Panigale V4R Superbike, Tony Cairoli and Jeremy Seewer on the Desmo450 MX and Alessandro Lupino on the Desmo250 MX, performed a lap of honour around the Ducati factory amid applause and enthusiasm and bringing the excitement of the racetrack inside the Company, which for a few moments was transformed into a real party venue. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that further highlighted the common thread that begins in Borgo Panigale and comes to life on circuits around the world.
The day of celebrations began with the presentation of the Panigale V4 Márquez 2025 World Champion Replica, a collector’s model, produced in just 293 numbered units, each with an original signature by Marc Márquez on the tank cover. A bike created to celebrate the Spanish champion’s seventh MotoGP title, his return to victory with Ducati after the longest break in motorcycle racing history. No one before Marc had managed to win a world title again six years later.
The Panigale V4 Márquez 2025 World Champion Replica features a livery inspired by the 2025 MotoGP world champion. It is lighter and more powerful than the Panigale V4 S from which it derives, and is enhanced with standard technical features that make it even more unique and closer to MotoGP, improving its performance on the track
Thanks to the homologated Akrapovič silencer, the weight is reduced by 2.5 kg, and maximum power increases to 218.5 horsepower, thanks to a dedicated engine calibration. ***
It is equipped with Corner Sidepods, an aerodynamic solution introduced to MotoGP by Ducati in 2021 that generates ground effect at high lean angles. This ensures a higher level of tyre grip and allows for higher cornering speeds, resulting in lower lap times. The five-spoke carbon fibre wheels reduce the weight by 0,950 kg compared to the forged wheels of the Panigale V4 S, lowering the moment of inertia by 12% at the front and 19% at the rear. The result is improved agility when changing direction and a greater propensity for the bike to close the trajectory during acceleration while still leaning.
The Panigale V4 Márquez World Championship Replica is equipped with the Front Brake Pro+ front braking system, homologated for road use, which increases braking power and performance consistency. The system consists of two Brembo T-Drive finned discs, 338.5 mm in diameter and 6.2 mm thick, and GP4 Sport Production calipers machined from solid and equipped with cooling fins. This system, used by the official Ducati riders in the 2024 Race of Champions, is derived from the racing version used in the Superbike World Championship on the most demanding circuits. The front brake master cylinder is an MCS 19.21 with remote lever position adjustment, as is the case on MotoGP and Superbikes.
The special equipment is completed by the dry clutch, adjustable billet aluminium footpegs, and a GPS module. Those who wish to use it on the track will also have access to the billet aluminium racing fuel tank cap, brake caliper shrouds, an open carbon fibre clutch cover, and a license plate holder removal kit, all supplied as standard. The experience of riding this collector’s bike is made even more special by the Alcantara seat, racing plexiglass, and the dedicated key-on dashboard animation. Furthermore, each bike will be delivered in an exclusive, personalized wooden crate.
Like all Ducati collectibles, the Panigale V4 Márquez World Championship Replica is made unique by the machined-from-solid triple clamp featuring the model’s name and unit number, which is also engraved on the aluminium ignition key cover. The bike comes with a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated motorcycle cover, delivered in a special personalized box designed to match the livery.
Future owners will have the opportunity to share a special moment with Marc, immortalized in a photo, during a round of the 2026 MotoGP Championship or during World Ducati Week 2026 (July 3–5, 2026).
