Ducati is well known for its high-profile collaborations, and the newest special edition bike from Borgo Panigale, wrapped in a livery in the style of the famous Supreme clothing brand, is certainly towards the top of that list.
Recent special edition Ducati models have included the Ducati Diavel for Bentley and Centauro, a Streetfighter V4 S that was painted to match a one-off Lamborghini Huracan Evo.
The new Supreme special edition is another Ducati Streetfighter V4 S, meaning it uses the same Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine as found in the Panigale V4 S supersports bike tuned to produce 208bhp and designed to work as a stressed member of the chassis in combination with an aluminium front frame.
The entire specification of the bike is identical to standard, meaning the only ‘special’ part of this special edition is its look, and Supreme’s corporate colours (red and white) mean that even in terms of aesthetics the bike doesn’t stand out from a regular Ducati all that much.
Unsurprisingly, for something designed by Aldo Drudi, it is quite a pretty design, at least, with red-and-white stripes going up the front bodywork and over the tank, over which ‘Supreme’ is written in the brand’s font. The white wheels are a nice touch, too, but we feel like the Streetfighter’s aggressive look is somewhat tamed down by the fairly light colour scheme.
Unveiled by Supreme as part of its Spring/Summer 2024 collection preview, the special edition Streetfighter is joined by an Arai Corsair-X motorcycle helmet which boasts a livery matched with the bike.
