Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 16 June 2026 – Multistrada V4 Voyagers 2026, an international competition dedicated to all enthusiasts who love to travel on their Ducati Multistrada V4, has come to an end.

The initiative takes on an even more special meaning in the year of celebration for Ducati’s Centenary, collecting stories that authentically narrate the bond between motorcycles, travel and people. A huge number of Multistrada riders from over 38 countries shared stories, photos and videos of their journeys aboard Borgo Panigale’s touring bikes.

An internal Ducati jury selected six winners based on various categories designed to showcase the many facets of motorcycle travel. From adventure to group travel, from a Ducati Official Club trip to a solo experience, and, of course, the longest journey: each category recognized a different way to experience the passion for exploration on the saddle. A special category was also reserved for the journey that best interpreted and conveyed Ducati’s values.

Colombian Alejandro Restrepo won the “most adventurous journey” category thanks to a unique undertaking on his Multistrada V4 Rally: an epic off-road journey across the Colombian plains, from the savannah to the Amazon rainforest, through rivers, dirt roads  and swamps. Designed for the most extreme challenges, the motorcycle guaranteed range, reliability and comfort even in the most challenging environments. “Experiences that nothing in the world can ever take away from you: travelling through my country on such a comfortable and reliable motorcycle is priceless.”

Claudio Muzzi (Italy) won the “group trip” with an exciting route to the North Cape: 12,000 km through 11 countries, marked by hurricanes, rain and constant unexpected events that transformed the journey into a true test of endurance and sharing. An authentic experience, shared with other enthusiasts, in which the Multistrada V4 S proved to be a reliable companion, enabling them to tackle even the most challenging conditions and complete the challenge.

The most exciting “Ducati Official Club trip” was won by Justas Staikūnas from Ducati Official Club Lithuania. After leaving Tangier for the Merzouga desert, the journey proved to be an extreme challenge, with destroyed roads, cold, over a meter of snow and stretches with the bikes dragged by hand, all the way to the sand and clay tracks of the desert. An intense and on-the-edge experience, completed thanks to determination, team spirit and passion, with the Multistrada a discreet yet essential protagonist throughout the entire journey. “Every day pushed me to the limit—and every day I responded even more strongly.”

John Edisson Palacio Lopez and his wife, from Colombia, won the award for the “longest journey in kilometres,” covering over 35,000 km on his Multistrada V4 Rally and crossing eight South American countries to Ushuaia. An adventure through cold, windy conditions and long distances, made possible by the reliability of the bike, capable of covering stages of up to 1,000 km a day. Among the most memorable moments were a close encounter with the Andean condor and reaching the finish line at the end of the world. “I will carry with me so many wonderful memories: the people I met, the challenges of the cold and wind, the moments spent with my wife, and the places where only the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally has taken me.”

The award for best “solo journey” went to Jiangwei Shi from China, who led a massive expedition through Tibet, Xinjiang and Central Asia. Starting from the Tibetan plateau along Highway 219, the journey crossed the entire Xinjiang region to the Khorgos border, continuing between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan along the ancient Silk Road, through snow-capped mountains, deserts and glaciers, in extreme and unpredictable weather conditions. “A feeling of absolute freedom, an open mind.”

Finally, another category honoured the journey whose story best embodies the values of passion, sharing and discovery. The award went to Joel Mossand from France, who took part in a unique trip to celebrate his daughter Sarah’s 18th birthday. He left Clermont-Ferrand and reached his daughter in Tunis, where their adventure began through cities, the desert, and landscapes stretching all the way to the Sahara

An authentic experience, one of connection and discovery, with unforgettable moments like the night spent in Chenini, sleeping in Berber caves. “An unforgettable father-daughter adventure that will forever remain etched in our memory.”

All winners will receive an exclusive, personalized trophy, in addition to a set of official Ducati accessories.

To celebrate Ducati’s centenary, the winners will also receive a Biker pass valid for three days at World Ducati Week 2026 and a ticket to the Borgo Panigale Experience, allowing them to experience two of the most iconic experiences in the Ducati universe.

The participants’ stories will become part of the Ducati archive, and those selected will be shared and published in a dedicated section of the website and on official Ducati social media channels, becoming a source of inspiration for a global community that shares the same passion for travel and Ducati.

The success of the Mltistrada V4 Voyagers confirms it as an increasingly important event for the international Ducati community, which is capable of sharing the world through the experiences of those who choose the Multistrada V4 for their adventures.
