Next Bike Sdn Bhd, the official distributor for Ducati in Malaysia recently unveiled their impressive 2019 line-up of nine powerful and superior bikes at the Ducati Malaysia Premiere 2019 at Naza Automall PJ.
First introduced at the Ducati World Premiere 2019 in Milan and later displayed at the prestigious International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition (EICMA 2018), the Ducati 2019 line-up consists of the Panigale V4 R, Diavel 1260 S, Hypermotard 950, Multistrada 950 S, Multistrada 1260 Enduro and from the Scrambler® range; the all-new Scrambler® Icon, Scrambler® Full Throttle, Scrambler® Desert Sled and Scrambler® Café Racer.
Ducati Panigale V4 R
In this latest version of the superbike, its Desmosedici Stradale 1103 cm3 engine has been replaced with the 998 cm3 Desmosedici Stradale R engine to comply with displacement limits set by Superbike World Championship (WSBK) rules, offering extreme performance designed for the track. In fact, the Ducati Panigale V4 R is the most powerful factory motorcycle ever built by Ducati to date.
The Ducati Panigale V4R was made for Malaysians who live for speed and the adrenaline rush. Designed to elicit a symphony of emotions, the bike also features a dry clutch which greatly improves ‘rider feel’ during braking and manoeuvring through the corners while prioritising the safety and ease of riding, regardless of the rider’s experience level.
Ducati Diavel 1260 S
Another impressive bike joining the 2019 line-up is the scene-stealer Ducati Diavel 1260 S which was exclusively introduced to the Desmo Riders Club Malaysia (DOCM) through a sneak preview event in May 2019. Unconventional, unique and absolutely unmistakable, the Diavel 1260 S stuns with its personality, design, sport naked handling and thoroughbred engine.
Built around the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, the bike is capable of delivering 159 hp at 9,500 rpm and 129 Nm acceleration with a low-rev smoothness ideal for everyday riding or touring. The Diavel 1260 S is also equipped with an upgraded chassis set-up which makes the bike more responsive on mixed-road routes while top-drawer technology and electronics provide braking performance on par with that of a sport bike without compromising its safety with Bosch Cornering ABS and user-friendly engine performance control. Its sophisticated yet muscular design and state-of-the-art innovation also won the prestigious “Red Dot Award 2019: Best of the Best” title.
Additionally, the sporty Diavel 1260 S features a fully adjustable Öhlins suspension at both front and rear dedicated wheels, and an even higher-performance braking system. It also mounts Ducati Quick Shift up & down (DQS) as standard to allow clutch-less shifting.
Ducati Hypermotard 950
The new Hypermotard was made for Malaysians who live life on the edge, fitted with a wide handlebar, narrow sides and is 4kg lighter than its predecessor for greater agility when changing directions. Powering the Hypermotard 950 is a renewed 937 cm3 twin-cylinder Testastretta 11˚ with more muscle, greater pulling power and new electronics to ensure smoother control. Achieving 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and a flat torque curve peaking at 9.8 kgm at 7,250 rpm, the engine is perfect for ultimate on-track sports fun, twisting country roads and everyday urban roads alike.
Prioritising the comfort of its rider, the superbike’s seat is ergonomically redesigned to feature a flat, extended profile with a moderate bulge in the passenger area to ensure smoother movement during riding.
Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro
Made for the adventurous rider with the passion for riding on off-road conditions, the new Multistrada 1260 Enduro expands the concept of adventure with new Ducati Testastretta DVT engine which ensures outstanding pulling power right from the low-to-mid rev range. The Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT) system optimises performance and fluidity of delivery at all end speed levels. Achieving a torque of 4,000 rpm, the Multistrada 1260 Enduro is the motorcycle with the highest torque in its category. The powerful superbike also comes standard with Ducati Quick Shift Up & Down (DQS) which allows the rider to shift gear without using the clutch for superior riding pleasure, greater ease handling off-road trails and a more relaxing ride in the city.
The new Multistrada 1260 Enduro is equipped with the most advanced Ducati technology safety features including the Bosch Cornering ABS which maximises active safety even when leaning into curves, Ducati Traction Control, Ride by Wire, Ducati Wheelie Control and semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspensions (DSS) Evolution for unprecedented versatility.

For the first time, the Multistrada 950 is now available in the S version, donning the most advanced technology, performance and comfort. Super-technological and full-featured, the rider can enjoy sheer riding pleasure as the brand’s smallest “multibike” is fitted with the Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) system which continuously adjusts fork and shock absorber damping so the suspension responds instantaneously to changes on the road. Ducati Quick Shift up & down (DQS) is also available on the bike to allow clutch-less upshifting and downshifting, and the bike also features a full-LED headlight, 5” colour TFT display, a Hands-Free System, Cruise Control and backlit switchgear controls, and an upgraded rider-bike interface (HMI) which is more user-friendly than ever.
