Just before Christmas, Ducati Corse held its traditional year-end celebration, and the Bologna firm’s race division had quite a lot to shout about. It swept the board in MotoGP in 2025, with the Marquez brothers taking the top two spots in the title race, and its other riders making the premier race class look like a one-make class at times. Well done all round.
Ducati also unveiled another near-tradition, which is the annual special edition variant of its Panigale superbike, this time celebrating Marc Marquez personally. The Marc Márquez Factory Ducati Lenovo Replica is a super-trick factory custom variant, limited to 293 units, and festooned with some of the best kit the firm can offer.
The bike is based on a 2026 model Panigale V4S, with the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale motor making 218.5bhp and 122.1Nm of torque, Öhlins semi-active electronic suspension, and the latest rider aids. It’s more powerful and lighter than stock, in part due to the homologated Akrapovic exhaust system, which cuts 2.5kg of mass and adds 2.5bhp peak power.
The big mods come elsewhere though, with five-spoke carbon fibre wheels which are claimed to reduce the weight by almost one kilo compared to the forged aluminium wheels of the Panigale V4 S.
That lowers the moment of inertia by 12 per cent at the front and 19 per cent at the rear according to Ducati, and gives improved agility when changing direction. Ducati also says the wheels have been approved for dual seat use – that is, they can cope with rider and pillion. No excuse for not taking your MM93 Replica on this summer’s 4,000 mile two-up European sunshine tour then…
Those fancy wheels are fitted with Brembo’s Brake Pro+ front braking system, homologated for road use by Ducati, which the firm says increases braking power and performance consistency.
The setup consists of two massive 338.5mm, 6.2mm thick, Brembo T-Drive finned discs and GP4 Sport Production calipers machined from solid and equipped with cooling fins. This system, used by the official Ducati riders in the 2024 Race of Champions, is derived from the racing version used in the Superbike World Championship on the most demanding circuits.
The front brake master cylinder is an MCS 19.21 with remote lever position adjustment, straight from MotoGP and Superbike use.
The 2026 MM93 replica’s special equipment list is rounded off by the dry clutch, adjustable billet aluminium footpegs, and a GPS module. For track use, there’s a billet aluminium racing fuel tank cap, brake caliper shrouds, an open carbon fibre clutch cover, and a number plate holder removal kit, all supplied as standard.
As with all Ducati limited edition models, you get plenty of cool extra stuff too: Alcantara seat, racing plexiglass windscreen, and a dedicated key-on dashboard animation. The bike is delivered in an exclusive, personalized wooden crate.
And the Panigale V4 Márquez World Championship Replica is made unique by a machined-from-billet top yoke featuring the model’s name and unit number, which is also engraved on the aluminium ignition key cover. The bike comes with a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated motorcycle cover, delivered in a special personalized box designed to match the livery.
And owners will have the opportunity to share ‘a special moment’ with Marc, immortalised in a photo, during a round of the 2026 MotoGP Championship or during World Ducati Week 2026 (July 3–5, 2026).
