Ducati reveals new bicycle range for 2026

Ducati has announced a new ‘high-performance’ bicycle range for 2026, which will be developed alongside several star names from the cycling world. 

Ducati’s new project is the result of an agreement made with Diamant S.r.l, a company which operates under Gruppo Zecchetto. 

The partnership means Ducati will also be working with cycling footwear brand DMT, Alè Cycling (known for its technical apparel) and Diamant Compositi, which manufactures carbon and composite components.

The new range will consist of road bikes, gravel bikes, and pedal-assist mountain bikes, in other words e-MTB’s. 

Steering the development of the new range will be Elia Viviani, who is one of the most successful sprinters of his generation. The Italian has over 90 professional road victories and was crowned Olympic gold medalist during the 2016 games in Rio.

Viviani “will oversee all development phases as Project consultant”, according to Ducati, and he will work alongside Vincenzo Nibali, who is one of the greatest grand tour riders of all-time.

Nibali is one of very few riders to have won the cycling grand slam, which includes the Tour De France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España. Nibali’s role will involve supporting Viviani “in developing the road range and related sports projects”.

Speaking about the chance to work with Ducati on its new bicycle range, Nibali said: 

“I'm thrilled to be part of this ambitious project. I've always had a great passion for motorsport, and Ducati has always been a benchmark for performance, innovation, and design. Contributing to the growth of such an iconic brand in the cycling world is truly an honour.”

For its new off-road range, Ducati says it will “collaborate with various athletes, including Lorenzo Suding”, who is a multiple Italian Downhill champion and a leading figure in the mountain bike sector.

The new range will be unveiled from March 2026, with bicycles set to be available at selected Ducati dealers, and through specialised cycling stores.
