Rosso Centenario

The new liveries of the Desmosedici GP bikes are born from a synthesis of several essential dimensions of our identity: the world of racing, of which the Desmosedici GP bikes are the pinnacle of a history of research and innovation; the tradition that precedes us and continues to inspire us; the homage to a unique year, the centenary of Ducati's founding (1926); and the colour red, an integral part of our identity. 

We entrusted the task of uniting these dimensions with a new, intense, and deep shade: Centenario Red. A dark red, like that of our origins: from the red of the 1949 Ducati 60, the first complete motorcycle that marked our entry into the motorcycle industry, to that of the 1955 Gran Sport "Marianna," the first Ducati conceived for racing, designed by engineer Fabio Taglioni to illuminate the newly formed Ducati Meccanica. 

Completing the livery are clear and recognizable references to racing culture, such as the double central band that runs all the way around the front air intake: two stripes on a red background that speak of Italy, racing, and Ducati. The matte finish gives the surface a tactile feel and amplifies the bike's expressive power. 

A project born from listening to our memories and translated into style by Aldo Drudi, in collaboration with the Centro Stile Ducati.
