It’s late October 2023, which means that we’re reasonably deep in the throes of New Bike Season. While a lot of manufacturers like to release carefully calculated teasers ahead of launching their most important new bikes, they usually come in the form of still images.

Ducati has certainly done that kind of thing in the past, but it chose a much different tactic this time around. Ahead of its next World Première release (planned for Thursday, November 2, 2023), it just uncovered an entire new engine—not with simple photos, or even with a running video.
