Overview

• The 998cc Desmosedici Stradale R produces 218 hp in stock form and up to 239 hp with a full titanium racing exhaust and Ducati racing oil.
• Expanded aerodynamics include larger front wings and MotoGP‑style Corner Sidepods, yielding about 25% more downforce with 4.8 kg at 270 km/h and 6 kg at 300 km/h.
• A redesigned front frame cuts lateral stiffness by roughly 40% and works with a hollow symmetrical swingarm to improve corner exit traction and line precision.
• The Ducati Racing Gearbox moves neutral below first with Ducati Neutral Lock, while electronics add DVO algorithms, Race Brake Control, Cornering ABS and a Grip Meter display.
• Production is numbered rather than limited, and Ducati confirms CBU imports to India in early 2026 following on‑track evaluations by factory and test riders earlier this year.
