Ducati has once again proven its prowess in the world of two-wheeled engineering and design, as the Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE was crowned the “Most Beautiful Motorcycle” at the prestigious EICMA 2023.
The award, a testament to Ducati’s dedication to excellence, was decided by a public vote at the International Bicycle, Motorcycle and Accessory Exhibition held in Milan.
The contest, a collaborative effort since 2005 between the Italian magazine Motociclismo and EICMA, has seen Ducati triumph for the twelfth time in its history.
Garnering over 35% of the approximately 25,500 votes, the Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE stood out among its competitors, both at the show and online.
Andrea Ferraresi, Director of the Centro Stile Ducati, proudly received the accolade on Sunday, November 12, marking a significant achievement for the Borgo Panigale company.
This victory was further sweetened by Ducati’s exceptional performance at the Malaysian Grand Prix, where Enea Bastianini, Alex Marquez, and Pecco Bagnaia dominated the podium, contributing to Ducati’s record-tying MotoGP season.
The EICMA 2023 event was a resounding success, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Ducati’s stand was a major highlight, showcasing not only the award-winning Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE but also the Panigale V4 SP2 30th Anniversary 916, which sold out its 500 units in just three days.
The event also featured the entire Multistrada family, including the new V4 S Grand Tour and V4 RS, as well as the DesertX Rally and the DesertX in “RR22” livery.
The Scrambler models – Icon, Full Throttle, and Nightshift – drew considerable attention, alongside the new e-MTB Powerstage RR.
