The motorcycle travel season is getting underway and Ducati is particularly attentive to the globetrotting approach of its enthusiasts, offering a selection of touring accessories from the Ducati Performance catalogue, created to increase the pleasure of every riding adventure.
Within the Ducati range there are several families of motorcycles capable of balancing the typically sporting spirit of the Rosse di Borgo Panigale with a high level of comfort. Motorcycles such as the Multistrada, the SuperSport 950, the Diavel 1260 and the XDiavel can be used to cover long itineraries even divided into several days of travel and the choice of the right accessories and correct technical equipment makes these journeys even more enjoyable for motorcyclists.
For this reason, the Bologna-based motorcycle company works with care and attention on the creation of the touring accessories contained within the Ducati Performance catalogue, collaborating with the best companies in the sector and entrusting their design to the Centro Stile Ducati. The commitment is reflected in the production of components tailored to each family of motorcycles, which Ducatisti can view online in the “configurator” section of the Ducati.com website and order at their nearest dealership.
The symbolic accessories of the touring world are bags and cases, indispensable tools for carrying everything you need while exploring new locations. The Ducati Performance catalogue offers a number of different types based on the family of motorcycles on which they are mounted. In the case of the Multistrada V4, the globetrotter par excellence of the Ducati range, the rigid side panniers have volumes designed to ensure maximum capacity and reach maximum practicality in combination with the top case with quick release system integrated in the vehicle and the central stand, essential to always park the bike safely. Both the side panniers and the top case have lines designed to better integrate with the design of the bike and can be customized with cover sets, available in various colours.
For the SuperSport 950, the road sports bike of the Borgo Panigale range, in addition to the soft side bags and the passenger seat bag, Ducati also offers a magnetic tank bag, equipped with large pockets, zip closures and a quick-mount system.
For those who love to travel as a couple, it is essential to ensure maximum comfort for the passenger as well. Accessories such as a heated seat (available on the Multistrada V4 for both the rider and the passenger) allow you to enjoy the ride even on the coldest days and on mountain roads, while the practical passenger grab handles ensure comfortable support at all times of the journey and are available as an accessory for the SuperSport 950, Monster and Hypermotard 950.
Finally, a really useful accessory especially for longer journeys, available for some Ducati models, is the Ducati Zumo 396 satellite navigator kit , which in addition to providing road directions, allows you to store the routes taken, to share the itineraries in real time, but also to make hands-free calls and listen to music. The Ducati Zumo 396 navigator is equipped with a large 4.3″ screen and has a robust structure, waterproof and resistant to fuel splashes and exposure to ultraviolet rays. The high satnav support set is also available, which allows perfect visibility of the navigator and dashboard even in the presence of tank bags.

A production Panigale V4 S took first place in an Italian race setting also new racetrack lap record during qualifying
Great success for Ducati which, in collaboration with the Italian rider/Youtuber Luca Salvadori, brought a stock Panigale V4 S, equipped only with a Ducati Performance racing exhaust system, Pirelli slick tires and racing brake pads to triumph in the Cremona round of the MotoEstate Trophy, one of the best known amateur trophy in Italy.
During the weekend of 29-30 May Salvadori also conquered pole position, setting the new record of the Cremona circuit (1’31’945) and the best lap in the race, closing a perfect weekend. The success conquered by Salvadori once again confirms the competitiveness of the Panigale V4 project.
Luca raced with the ABS (the Panigale V4 is the only bike in the world to have a “Cornering Only Front Racing” setup of the ABS) and electronic suspension, proving that it is possible to be competitive in this type of competition with a production bike.
The “Open Class” of the Trophy was chosen to compete against very elaborate bikes, in fact Luca’s main opponent, Fabrizio Perotti a really popular and fast Italian rider, raced on a full Superbike Spec Aprilia RSV4, demonstrating the high level of competitiveness of the Ducati Panigale V4 S road bike.

With its 178 kg weight, Desmosedici Stradale 1,103 cc engine producing 208 hp, biplane wings and a latest generation electronic package, the Streetfighter V4 is the absolute expression of Ducati sportiness and of the continuous research that the Bologna-based motorcycle manufacturer carries out every day towards achieving performance at the top of the segment.
The Ducati Performance catalogue contains numerous accessories, designed and manufactured in collaboration with the best companies in the sector, capable of further enhancing the sporting character and racing soul of the Streetfighter V4, especially in terms of performance when used on the track.
The complete titanium exhaust group, the carbon wing set and the magnesium rims are just some of the elements derived from the racing world with which it is possible to equip this extreme naked and make it an even more unique bike.
Complete titanium exhaust system
Designed and developed for the racing world, each part of this system is made from a special titanium alloy ensuring not only considerably lower weight (5.5 kg), but also great resistance to the high temperatures that can be reached. The exhaust system significantly improves the already high weight/power ratio. The map supplied makes it possible to adapt all the parameters of DTC – DWC – DPL and Slide on demand to the new performance of the bike. The perfect accessory to boost the Streetfighter V4’s aggressive look and give it an unmistakable sound. Mid-range power (hp) +6%; mid-range torque (Nm) +6%; maximum power (cv) +6%; maximum torque (Nm) +6%.
Set of carbon wings
Thought for those who want to add a further touch of exclusivity to their bike, this set consists of 4 structural carbon fibre wings. A valuable accessory, extremely carefully handcrafted, which gives the bike an unmistakable look. The lightness of the structural carbon fibre, combined with the shape designed in the wind tunnel, enhance the markedly racing character and the already high performance.
Magnesium rims
The lightness of forged magnesium meets the typically racing design of the 9-spoke wheels, for a pair of rims clearly inspired by the Superbike world. Type-approved for single-seater use, they are the result of the combination of technical racing features with strict standards for type-approval as original equipment. Compared to the traditional aluminium alloy version, the exclusive material of this accessory ensures a reduction in weight by 3 kg (-33%) compared to standard motorcycle versions and 0.7 kg (-10%) compared to S versions. Moreover, it ensures a reduction in inertia by 40% (vs standard) and 12% (vs S), thus improving the vehicle dynamics and the changes of direction, to optimise performance and riding feeling.
Dry clutch kit
Just like in MotoGP, where the only thing that matters is utmost performance, the dry clutch is made available for the other V4 models (it comes standard on the Panigale V4 R). This is an STM EVO-SBK clutch made from billet aluminium with housing and 48-tooth plate pack. The plates are 9 driven and 9 lined with a diameter of 138 mm. When racing on the track there are important benefits in ease of handling. Specifically, the dry clutch ensures a more effective slipper function, even during the most aggressive downshifts, and greater fluidity during all “off-throttle” stages. In addition, the “mechanical” engine brake level can be customised by choosing a different secondary spring from those available from the catalogue. Other important advantages are the absence of resistance from the engine oil and cleaner oil since the plate wear dust is not conveyed into the lubrication circuit. The racing character of the dry clutch and its iconic sound are exciting added benefits for the most passionate Ducatisti.
Dry clutch cover
Designed to offer optimum ventilation of the dry clutch during track use, enhancing its characteristic sound. The lightness and strength of the carbon fibre combine with the race-ready look in an accessory that has a uniquely sporty DNA.
Carbon heel guard
Created to minimise the interference between the bike and the rider’s boots and further embellish the Ducati Performance billet aluminium footpegs. The high-quality material offers maximum lightness and protection whilst also providing the distinct racing look that only carbon fibre can give.
Carbon tank cover
A gorgeous detail to embellishes the front of the tank. The finishing and the lines of this accessory are perfectly integrated into the racing look of this super sports bike.
Passenger seat cover
Made of high quality plastic material, its essential lines integrate perfectly with the design of the Streetfighter V4, allowing the bike to transform from a two-seater to a single-seater.
Billet aluminium tank cap
The unmistakable Ducati design is combined with Rizoma’s experience to create a unique detail, made entirely in Italy, which enhances the bike’s aesthetics. The tank cap is made from billet aluminium and it maintains its original appearance over time thanks to high quality anodising. This accessory is equipped with an anti-tamper system to guarantee maximum safety and it comes with a special key with a Ducati shield graphic.
Pair of handgrips
Inspired by the racing world, these handgrips ensure an excellent grip in every riding situation. Built to avoid accidental slipping of the hand and to reduce the vibrations felt.
Adjustable rider footpegs in aluminium
Developed thanks to the experience of Ducati Corse and the skilful productive care of Rizoma, the adjustable rider foot pegs are made of high quality anodised aluminium alloy that maintains its original appearance over time. Adjustable in five positions, they allow the riders to find the position that best suits their build and riding style. Equipped with fold-away brake and gear change pedals to minimise the risk of breakage in the event of a slip. They use the standard DQS, which can be configured both as a traditional shift and as a reversed/racing shift.
