2027 DUCATI
PANIGALE
V2 SP
The 2027 Ducati Panigale V2
SP takes the next-generation
V-twin supersport closer
to the racetrack, serving as
the homologation platform
for Ducati's 2027 World
Supersport Championship
campaign. Its 890cc V-twin
produces 120 horsepower,
while upgrades include
an STM dry clutch, Öhlins
suspension, lighter forged
wheels and a swingarm
extended by 30mm. Finished
in distinctive Winter Test
livery, the SP is the most
track-focused model in the
Panigale V2 range.
2028
KTM 450 RC
KTM's new 450 RC brings
the Austrian manufacturer's
supersport styling and chassis
technology to the lightweight
class. Powered by a 449cc
parallel-twin, the 2028 model
features adjustable WP Apex
suspension, a single-sided
swingarm and a 320mm front
brake with a radial four-piston
caliper. Electronics include
cornering ABS, traction
control and multiple ride
modes, accessed through
a five-inch TFT display.
Production is scheduled to
begin in late 2027.
