The Ducati Lenovo Team, currently dominating MotoGP – the pinnacle of world motorcycle racing – unveiled today their new “weapon” for the 2025 season, the Desmosedici GP25.
This machine represents the ultimate expression of two-wheeled technology, featuring truly impressive specifications:
At the heart of the motorcycle lies a 90-degree V4 engine, liquid-cooled, four-stroke with Desmodromic DOHC system featuring four valves per cylinder. With a displacement of 1,000cc, this powerplant develops over 250 horsepower, enabling speeds exceeding 350 km/h.
The transmission features Ducati Seamless technology with chain final drive. Fuel delivery is accomplished through indirect electronic injection, with four throttle bodies equipped with injectors above and below the butterflies, controlled by dual Ride by Wire systems.
The frame is constructed from twin-spar aluminum alloy, while suspension duties are handled by Öhlins, featuring an inverted front fork with carbon fiber outer tubes and rear shock absorber, both adjustable for preload and damping.
The brakes are supplied by Brembo, with GP4 monobloc front calipers machined from solid aluminum, featuring radial mounting with 4 titanium pistons and double carbon discs. At the rear, we find a Brembo aluminum caliper with 2-piston axial mounting and steel disc.
The Marchesini wheels are forged from magnesium alloy with a 5-spoke Y design, fitted with 17-inch Michelin tires. The entire package results in a dry weight of just 157 kg.
The motorcycle runs on Shell Racing V-Power fuel, Shell Advance Ultra 4 lubricant, and features an Akrapovič exhaust, with electronic management provided by a Marelli ECU programmed with Dorna Unified Software.
