Bologna, Italy- Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., celebrated Marc Márquez’s 2025 MotoGP Riders’ title by revealing a special collector bike called the Panigale V4 Márquez 2025 World Champion Replica. Marc’s win gave Ducati its fourth straight Riders’ championship and the fifth Riders’ title in Ducati’s history. This model is very limited: Ducati will produce only 293 numbered units, and each bike will have Marc Márquez’s original signature on the tank cover.
The announcement happened during a celebration at Ducati’s factory in Borgo Panigale, Italy. Ducati invited its riders from MotoGP, Superbike, and Motocross to meet the employees who build the bikes. Riders including Marc Márquez, Francesco Bagnaia, Álex Márquez, Fermín Aldeguer, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Nicolò Bulega, and motocross stars like Tony Cairoli and Jeremy Seewer took part. One of the most exciting moments was a parade lap inside the factory, where the riders rode their real race machines, bringing the feeling of the racetrack directly into Ducati’s home.
The Panigale V4 Márquez replica is based on the Panigale V4 S, but Ducati has added many upgrades to make it feel closer to a MotoGP-style track bike. It comes with a road-legal Akrapovič exhaust, which reduces weight by 2.5 kg and increases maximum power to 218.5 hp with a special engine calibration. Ducati also added Corner Sidepods, an aerodynamic solution first used in Ducati’s MotoGP bikes, designed to improve grip at high lean angles and help riders carry more speed through corners.
Handling is improved further with five-spoke carbon-fibre wheels, which are lighter than the forged wheels on the Panigale V4 S. Ducati says the lower weight and reduced inertia make the bike more agile during direction changes and help it hold a tighter line while accelerating in a corner. Braking is upgraded with the Front Brake Pro+ system, using large Brembo T-Drive discs and GP4 Sport Production calipers, along with an adjustable master cylinder to give stronger and more consistent braking performance.
The special equipment also includes a dry clutch, adjustable billet aluminium footpegs, and a GPS module. Ducati supplies additional parts for track use as well, such as a racing fuel tank cap, brake caliper ducts, an open carbon-fibre clutch cover, and a kit to remove the number plate holder. Ducati also focused on the “collector” experience, adding an Alcantara seat, a racing windscreen, and a special dashboard animation at start-up. Each bike is delivered in an exclusive personalized wooden crate and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated cover.
Ducati is also offering owners a special experience: they will have a chance to meet Marc Márquez and take a photo with him during a round of the 2026 MotoGP season or at World Ducati Week 2026 (July 3–5, 2026). The company highlighted Ducati’s overall 2025 success too, including multiple wins, podiums, and titles across the season, showing the strength of Ducati’s racing program and teamwork behind the championship.
