Ducati has announced a new project dedicated to the development of a complete range of high-performance bicycles. An ambitious return to the world of cycling, with models designed for road, gravel and e-MTBThe first new features will arrive in March 2026, marking the beginning of a new strategy that aims to combine technology, design, and racing spirit.
The project was born from the collaboration with Gruppo Zecchetto, an Italian company that brings together leading brands such as Dmt, Alé Cycling and Diamond. A partnership that brings the know-how of leading technical clothing companies to cycling, in footwear and composite materials. Ducati has therefore chosen a clear path: to bring the same standards of quality and innovation that characterize its motorcycles to the bicycle sector.
The initiative represents a natural evolution after entering the e-Bike segment in 2018. For Ducati, cycling and motorcycling share profound values: dynamics, control, speed and emotionTwo worlds that meet on the common ground of performance.
A complete range: road, gravel, e-MTB
The new collection will include road bikes, gravel models and an e-MTB line designed to tackle technical and challenging off-road trails. Each model will follow the Ducati philosophy: clean style, advanced technical solutions and performance oriented towards the cyclist's experience.The range will also be accompanied by a line of dedicated accessories and clothing, developed specifically for the different disciplines.
To build truly competitive bicycles, in line with the needs of athletes, Ducati has chosen to involve three high-profile figures in Italian cycling.
Elia Viviani will contribute as a technical consultantWith over 90 road race victories, an Olympic gold medal, and a world championship title to his name, Viviani will offer an insider’s view of the dynamic and performance aspects of road bikes.
Next to him there will also be Vincenzo Nibali, one of the few riders capable of winning all the Grand ToursHis experience in the toughest races and Monument classics will play a key role in the development of performance models dedicated to the road. Nibali speaks of "an ambitious project" and recognizes Ducati as a natural reference for those who love speed, design and performance..
For the off-road world, Ducati has relied on Lorenzo Suding, multiple Italian Downhill Champion. He will support the growth of the e-MTB range, bringing his technical vision, honed on the most extreme descents, to the table.
Availability and sales network
"Our goal is to strengthen our presence in the cycling world," said Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati. "The collaboration with Diamant and the contribution of the athletes will allow us to develop bicycles that offer the same quality and excitement as our motorcycles."
«This partnership – replied Philippe Zecchetto, CEO of Diamond – arises from shared values: excellence, design and pursuit of maximum performanceWe really can't wait to unveil the range to the public and to actually start this challenging collaboration."
