After having concluded a successful 2019 schedule, the world of the Ducati Riding Experience is preparing to face a coming season full of new initiatives and increasingly international projects. Enrolment for the 2020 DRE Enduro, DRE Road and DRE Rookie courses is in fact now open. Professional instructors, unforgettable locations and the opportunity to ride your favourite Ducati – these are the features that distinguish the various Academies, a whole range of unique and exclusive experiences.

The big new entry for the coming season is the DRE Rookie Academy, a new course dedicated to young riders between 18 and 24 years of age who ride reduced-power motorcycles. An avant-garde educational programme aimed at teaching riding techniques in order to increase the skills of the participants and help them to release their full potential as motorcyclists.

One of the most long-standing courses of the Ducati Riding Academy has been confirmed once again this year: DRE Enduro, two days in a beautiful natural context, riding a Multistrada, in order to learn and improve off-road riding techniques.

A new course which began in 2019 and has become a fully-fledged official riding course is DRE Road: a course designed by Ducati for all riders who wish to increase their awareness, improving their levels of safety when riding. Participants can choose a model from the Ducati range and put themselves to the test while learning the safest way to deal with every type of corner and having fun at the same time.

The 2020 schedule is soon to be released also for the DRE Racetrack Academy, the course where education, fun and adrenaline are combined together with the most beautiful and high-performance bikes of the Ducati Panigale range, which will complete the programme of the Ducati Riding Experience for the coming season.

The DRE format has been a success at international level too and in fact the complete range of courses has been carried out in Asia by the DRE Academy APAC, while DRE Enduro has taken place in the USA and Holland for riding fans. Worldwide, over 1400 motorcyclists took part in the Ducati Riding Academy courses during 2019.

In addition to the activities of the Academy, Ducati dedicates a great deal of attention to the field of travelling with its riding experiences: Dream Tour and Adventure Tour. These formats are also becoming ever more international, as can be seen by the new Spiti Valley Dream Tour initiative, which took place between August and September in India, on a route to discover the magnificent peaks of the Himalayas.

Enrolment has reopened at the Ducati Riding Academy. Providing courses and experiences since 2003, the Academy has let more than 10,000 motorcyclists from all over the world hone their riding skills on a Ducati.

The big change for the 2019 season is DRE Road Academy, the new DRE course designed to let everyone take control on a built-in-Bologna Ducati. Designed for novices and expert riders alike, the courses – held at the Modena racetrack – give participants the chance to put the new models in the Ducati range through their paces while ensuring they take their riding skills to the next level.

DRE Racetrack, instead, offers a steep learning curve plus plenty of fun and excitement, not to mention the most beautiful, highest-performing bikes in the Ducati Superbike range. There are four courses, sub-divided according to participants’ abilities and requirements: they range from Track Warm Up – for those who have never ridden on a track yet are eager to take the so-called “baptism of speed” – to the Champs Academy. In between lie Track Evo and Track Master, courses which let those who already have a certain experience improve ride technique and lap times even further.

DRE Enduro Academy is a valuable experience for those who like to ride off the beaten track. Sat astride the new Multistrada 1260 Enduro and Multistrada 950, participants will learn a swath of off-road techniques and tricks, all under controlled conditions and supervised by expert, qualified instructors.

DRE Travel experiences have also been revamped. Routes and activities have now been upgraded, thanks also to a fresh partnership with world-renowned tour operator Boscolo. The Dream Tour is an electrifying 5-day ride on your favourite Ducati through the stunning switchbacks and hills of the Tuscany-Emilia Apennines. The Adventure Tour is pure enthusiasm and enjoyment, a unique 4-day fun-filled ride experience in the midst of nature on the new Multistrada 1260 Enduro and Multistrada 950.
