The foundation is laid. The bloodline from Borgo Panigale, forged in fire and passione, now courses with conviction through the heart of South Africa. 2025 was a year of meticulous planning, integrating Ducati’s soul within Volkswagen Group Africa, homologating every model, and establishing support for our community. The result? A decisive 2.6% market share in the 500cc+ segment in just five months and the stage set for 2026.
Now, the first, full-throttle chapter begins.
A Tribe Forged in Rosso Corsa
From the vibrant destination of Ducati Claremont, the flagship Ducati Johannesburg, a global-standard in Sandton, opens its doors in March, becoming a meeting place for the faithful. But our vision looks further.
Ducati Umhlanga, Ducati Gqeberha, Ducati George, Ducati Bloemfontein and Ducati Windhoek. This expansion is the deliberate growth of our community so that wherever a rider seeks the purest expression of performance and design, their home awaits.
Dominance, Defined
Our legacy is written on racetracks. For 2026, we deliver performance perfected by victory.
- The Desmo450 MX Factory is where MotoGP obsession meets motocross. The Desmo450 MX Factory’s 449.6cc Desmodromic heart, titanium Akrapovič exhaust and Kashima-clad Showa suspension are a masterclass in ruthless, race-ready precision.
- The Panigale V4 R & V4 Lamborghini are the results of peak achievement. From the world championship podium to your garage, these are bikes earned by those Ducatisti who demand nothing less than engineering art.
- The Monster, DesertX and Hypermotard V2 families evolve, blending agility with soul. The Diavel RS and the comprehensively facelifted Multistrada lineup reaffirm that every journey, from alpine pass to urban canyon, deserves Ducati’s signature blend of comfort and devastating capability.
More Than Machinery
Our 2025 integration was engineered with the rider at its core. The Ducati Client Care centre, our certified technical training in Centurion, and the seamless aftersales and parts network ensure your machine is perpetually at its peak.
We ride not just as individuals, but as one, and our marketing movements – from the raw power of King of the Whip to the global pilgrimage of World Ducati Week and our historic Centenario celebrations – are rallies for our tribe to stoke their passion.
A Legacy of Victory
Ducati enters 2026 draped in the laurels of a sixth consecutive MotoGP Constructors’ Title and a 21st WorldSBK Manufacturers’ Title. This is not coincidence. The same relentless innovation that propels Marc Marquez and Alvaro Bautista to glory is engineered into every motorcycle we offer. You don’t just own a Ducati; you become custodian of a winning legacy.
The road calls. The family grows. The legend continues.
Forza Ducatisti!
