Ducati continues its journey into the world of art with a new chapter signed by Italian artist Andrea Crespi, author of a unique interpretation of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia: a work that blends dynamism, style and speed in a new expressive dimension.

A project born from a shared vision: for Ducati, the love of beauty has always been an integral part of its DNA, a value that takes shape in motorcycles capable of combining technology and beauty and which naturally marries with the universal language of art. It is in this meeting space that the collaboration with Crespi takes shape, capable of translating the essence of the motorcycle into a visual work of significant impact.

His creation is inspired by the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia, a limited edition and numbered collector's motorcycle of just 163 units presented last March at the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy. A model that celebrates the Azzurro of the National sports teams, the same colour with which Ducati took first and second place at the Mugello Grand Prix in 2024.

Made on canvas in 1:1 scale, the work stands out for a sophisticated interweaving of blue lines, an evocative colour that recalls the original livery of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia. The fluid and never intersecting trajectories create an optical illusion of movement and depth, projecting the perception of speed into a new and engaging artistic dimension.

From this work comes a limited series of 163 lithographs, reserved for enthusiasts who have chosen the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia. Each lithograph, numbered and signed by Crespi, bears the same number as the model of the motorcycle to which it is combined, to underline its uniqueness and exclusivity.

The protagonist of a special moment that took place on Friday 13 June at the Ducati headquarters in Borgo Panigale, Andrea Crespi is one of the emerging Italian artistic voices of the new generation, known for his ability to merge the physical and digital dimensions. His works, exhibited in prestigious locations such as the Triennale di Milano, the CAFA Art Museum in Beijing, Times Square in New York and Art Dubai, create optical illusions where lines and shapes merge and mutate, revealing the subject always in a new way depending on the point of view and the instrument of observation, whether it is the naked eye or the lens of a camera. An approach that, in dialogue with Ducati, highlights shared values: attention to detail, aesthetic research, the balance between tradition and innovation, and a vision of movement as an authentic and emotional experience, in which technology amplifies perception.

A collaboration that further enriches Ducati's journey into the world of art. Over the years, this journey has taken shape in works such as Fortitudo Mea Levitate, an Acquabianca marble sculpture inspired by the aesthetics of the Panigale, and in the participation in Arte Fiera 2024 and 2025, with the Officina Arte Ducati Award dedicated to the works of young artists close to the values ??of the brand.

Ducati was also a protagonist at Design Week for two consecutive editions: in 2024 with the exhibition “Forma – Feelings designed by Ducati in Borgo Panigale”, an immersive journey into the creative process that gives life to the Borgo Panigale motorcycles, and in 2025 with a joint event with Lamborghini for the presentation of the exclusive Panigale V4 Lamborghini. Also, this year, the Panigale V4 was exhibited at the Golinelli Foundation as part of the “From Origin to Destiny” exhibition, which explores human cultural progress by emphasizing speed as an evolutionary force between technology, science and art. At an international level, Ducati took part in the Art Basel week in Miami Beach, where it presented the Panigale V4 Tricolore in an exclusive off-site event.

Andrea Crespi’s work will become part of the private collection of Borgo Panigale supported by the Ducati Foundation, alongside the winning works of the Officina Arte Ducati Award selected during Arte Fiera: “Ossicodone 2” by Alberto Tadiello and “There is so much we can learn from the sun” by Marinella Senatore. Through the Ducati Foundation, in fact, the motorcycle manufacturer supports artistic projects that embody its constant search for beauty, celebrating creativity, the culture of know-how and Italian excellence.

Starting in July, Crespi’s work will also be on display at the Ducati Museum as part of a temporary exhibition. 

Motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman and enduro and rally rider Andrea Rossi ride the 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4S and explore its many features, including different trims, handling, comfort, and advanced tech like adaptive cruise control and integrated navigation.  

Watch the video below and join Charlie and Andrea as they start their ride from Bologna, climbing the first section of the Ratikosa Pass.

Charley Boorman
“If you can only have one bike then the Multistrada does everything. You can have a sports bike in the mountains, a comfortable bike on the highway, you can go on the dirt, have it for daily use. Thanks to the weight distribution it's really good in traffic, so you can have a bit of everything. 

If it was my choice, and hand on my heart I've ridden most of the bikes out there, if they were all lined up I would walk to the Multistrada.”

• Ducati UK is supporting BikeSafe by providing a Panigale V4S to be used by the police-led project to improve bikers' safety
• The Panigale V4S is the latest in a long line of Ducatis to be used by BikeSafe for their vital road safety work
• BikeSafe helps thousands of UK riders every year by providing post-licence training to improve their skills, knowledge and understanding of how to become a better and safer rider

Ducati UK is writing a new chapter in the long history of its work with BikeSafe, the police-led project designed to improve the safety of motorcycle riders in the UK. 

This year, Ducati is providing BikeSafe with a brand-new police-liveried Panigale V4S to be used for rider training, road safety events and track days. Through BikeSafe, professional police riders from across the UK help riders recognise the benefits of ongoing post-test rider training, ultimately aiming to make the roads safer for everyone. The Panigale V4S provided by Ducati UK follows a long line of similar models Ducati has made available to BikeSafe for this vital road safety work over the years. 

The new seventh-generation Panigale V4 is the ultimate synthesis of design and technology. With its MotoGP-derived Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine pumping out 216hp, the Panigale V4S is as close as you can get to a Grand Prix-winning racebike on the road. Crucially for BikeSafe, the Panigale V4S is also a highly sophisticated road bike, with an arsenal of safety features that will help spark conversations, aid training, and ultimately keep riders safe on the roads. Cornering ABS, traction and wheelie control are features that many BikeSafe customers will recognise, but the Panigale V4S is also equipped with Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO), developed by Ducati Corse. This algorithm can simulate the input of 70 sensors and measure their physical quantities for a precise estimate of the levels of intervention of the traction and wheelie control systems. These systems can intervene in almost predictive mode, boosting both performance and safety. This will truly take BikeSafe training to the next level.

The Panigale V4S will attract riders at BikeSafe events and spark conversations about road safety and the importance of ongoing training. It will also be the perfect tool for police officers to demonstrate advanced riding techniques and safety features, such as cornering ABS and traction control, highlighting how these technologies can prevent accidents. 

The bike was revealed at the Ducati track day at Donington Park on Thursday 1 May, where Ducati clients had the chance to test the new bikes on track, and the newly liveried police bike led a procession of motorcycles and Ducatisti around the track on a parade lap.

• Along with the bike, a capsule collection including technical and lifestyle garments, which will be launched for a limited period according to the “drop” style introduced by Supreme®
• Aldo Drudi designs a series of graphics and colours that contaminate the underground style with the world of racing competition

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 29 May 2024 – Ducati and Supreme®, two brands united by the constant, tireless search for quality, style and authenticity, come together in an unprecedented and exclusive collaboration endorsed by Drudi Performance. The contamination between the dynamism of the Ducati world and the underground lines of Supreme® constitutes the theme of a limited series collection composed of a Streetfighter V4 S, coordinated technical garments and a series of lifestyle proposals united by the style and exclusivity of the two brands.
 

The design of the collection refers to the iconic Supreme® white/red colour box logo. From the Supreme® style, this capsule also receives the exclusive approach to distribution made iconic by the brand: the entire collection, including the motorbike, will be available in a very limited series and for a well-defined period.
 

Aldo Drudi signs the graphic project. In collaboration with Supreme®, Aldo has created a livery full of unique and exclusive details, in the underground style typical of the New York brand, which make the Streetfighter V4 Supreme® a work of pop art, embellished with technical components that make it even more unique. The Brembo Supreme® front brake calipers become an element of style, thanks to the exclusive red colour with white logo that reflects the tones of the livery. The rims combine the Supreme® logo with a coloured tag, a stylistic element that characterizes all the most recent Ducati bikes.
 

Getting onto the motorcycle becomes a unique experience, thanks to the progressive number of the model on the steering head and the dedicated key-on animation on the dashboard.
