DWP 2023

Ducati bakal memperkembangkan lagi model V4 menerusi model ‘power cruiser’ Ducati Diavel. 

Berdasarkan imej ‘spy shot’ yang tersebar di Eropah, Ducati Diavel akan mendapat suntikan enjin Gran Turismo V4 yang sama terdapat pada Multistrada V4.

Lebih menguatkan lagi dakwaan, tempat duduk Diavel terbaru itu menampilkan nama Diavel V4 sekaligus mengesahkan kehadiran enjin V4 bagi generasi terbaru motosikal terbabit. 

Diperkenalkan pada 2010, Ducati Diavel sememangnya menampilkan rekaan lain dari yang lain.

Jadi tidak hairanlah sejak itu DIavel menjadi inspirasi utama kepada pengeluar lain dalam menghasilkan ‘power cruiser’ tersendiri.

Benelli 502C jelas antara model yang diilhamkan daripada reka bentuk Diavel.

Bagi tahun 2023, generasi ketiga Diavel akan dilancarkan tidak lama lagi menerusi Ducati World Premiere 2023.

Berdasarkan gambar ’spy shot’ yang disiarkan, Ducati akan menggantikan enjin 1260 DVT Testastretta yang digunakan sejak 2010 dengan platform Gran Turismo V4 1158cc. 

Menariknya, enjin tersebut tidak lagi menggunakan ‘desmodromic valve’ yang ikonik kepada Ducati sebaliknya digantikan dengan ‘valve spring’. Hasilnya, ‘major service’ enjin terbabit diletakkan pada 60,000km.

Menyaksikan Diavel dibina sebagai sebuah jentera cruiser, maka menerapkan enjin V4 dari Multistrada V4 ini adalah langkah relevan dari Ducati.

Nantikan pelancaran global Ducati Diavel menerusi DWP 2023 yang ketika ini masih berbaki enam episod lagi. 

Ducati is scheduled to unleash a series of 2023MY motorcycles via its virtual Ducati World Premiere.

  • The iconic Monster to get the SP treatment since its introduction in 2021.
  • The Monster SP features similar lightweight components as the Streetfighter V4 SP and Panigale V4 SP. 

Despite brilliantly coming up with vague titles for all 7-episodes for the 2023 DWP, recent reports have indicated that a new Monster SP is among the new models set to be unleashed.

Motorcycle.com revealed the information in their latest publication. 

According to the report, the name ‘Monster’ came up in Australian vehicle identification documents along with ‘Monster+’ and ‘Monster SP’.

Although the document doesn’t disclose information beyond the name, the upcoming Monster SP will likely get the same 937cc liquid-cooled V-Twin engine.

Based on the current SP models – Streetfighter V4 SP and Panigale V4 SP – it is likely the new Monster SP will feature lightweight components and an upgraded braking system. 

Also, we can probably expect a host of unique components, including carbon fibre mudguards and so on. 

That said, Ducati is set to kicked-off its 2023 DWP (The Web Series) on 2nd September. 

Below is the number of the episode of the upcoming Web Series leading to EICMA 2022:

  • Episode 1—The Unexpected (2nd September)
  • Episode 2—Ready for More? (15th September)
  • Episode 3—Unlock Earth (29th September)
  • Episode 4—This is Racing (7th October)
  • Episode 5—Push Forward (20th October)
  • Episode 6—Dare to be Bold (28th October)
  • Episode 7—Next Gen Freedom (7th November)

We are into the second half of 2022, and you know what that means? That’s right, Ducati World Premier (DWP) is set to return for 2023.

  • Ducati to unveil seven new motorcycles at the DWP 2023.
  • New Panigale and second-generation Multistrada V4 could make an appearance.
  • The 2023 DWP is likely a lead-up to something even bigger at EICMA 2022.

Although Ducati announced that they plan to make an appearance at EICMA 2022 this year, the Italian firm has opted to continue its virtual web series to introduce its 2023 models.

That said, Ducati has announced seven new episodes for DWP 2023, beginning with episode one on September 2, 2022, while the final episode will be aired on November 7, a day before the start of EICMA 2022 on November 8 in Milan.

As usual, Ducati is keeping mum about what’s in store for us in 2023 but during the recently concluded World Ducati Week (WDW) 2022, what we know so far is that a new Scrambler made an appearance.

Previously, titles for each episode sometimes provide a glimpse of what the upcoming models could be, but this year’s episode seems generic, and we have no clue what Ducati has for us. Take a look for yourself:

Episode 1—The Unexpected (September 2)
Episode 2—Ready for More? (September 15)
Episode 3—Unlock Earth (September 29)
Episode 4—This is Racing (October 7)
Episode 5—Push Forward (October 20)
Episode 6—Dare to be Bold (October 28)
Episode 7—Next Gen Freedom (November 7)

Now that’s seven-episode in three months. Too long? Well, Ducati wants to keep us on the edge of our seats with this one, which tells us something significant is coming.

Nevertheless, a few of those titles are slightly suggestive, but we could be wrong. “This is Racing” most likely refers to a Panigale, while the 2023 finale, “Next Gen Freedom”, could hint at a second-generation Multistrada V4.

However, something tells us that Ducati doesn’t plan to stop at just seven episodes, as they could do a big unveiling at EICMA to mark the brand’s return to the biggest motorcycle event in the world.
