An updated California emissions order lists a Diavel V4 S variant in Ducati’s 2027 certification, though the company has not unveiled the motorcycle.

What Happened
Ducati’s March certification covered three Diavel V4 versions for the 2027 model year. The agency’s August 26 revision brings the V4 S into that list as a fourth version.
The filing does not amount to a product unveiling. Ducati has not officially shown the motorcycle, and any changes suggested by design registrations—including possible Skyhook suspension—remain expectations rather than confirmed specifications.

Why this matters
The document is the first concrete public record tying the S version to a model year. It provides a firm regulatory signal while leaving the bike’s specification and launch timing unconfirmed.
