Ducati Unveils Superleggera V4 Centenario, Its Most Extreme Road‑Legal Bike

The centennial special signals a push to race-grade performance for a street-legal machine.

Overview

  • Ducati launched the Superleggera V4 Centenario as a 600-unit run, split into 500 standard bikes and 100 Tricolore editions.
  • A new 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale R V4 delivers 225 BHP in standard form and 244 BHP with a racing exhaust, paired with a Ducati Racing gearbox.
  • Extensive carbon-fibre construction drops dry weight to 173 kg, with the Akrapovic racing exhaust cutting it further to 167 kg.
  • Hardware skews track-first with Öhlins suspension featuring carbon outer fork tubes and carbon‑ceramic front brakes using 340 mm rotors and GP4‑HY billet monoblock calipers.
  • MotoGP-inspired aero adds large front winglets and a downforce‑shaping fairing, and each bike ships as a collector package with a wooden case, authenticity certificate, racing kit, cover, mat, and paddock stands.
