The Ghost concept, for very reason, aims at nailing the aesthetic to appeal to a broader set of riders. This unique aesthetic, along with design details allow it to fit perfectly into Ducati’s motorbike family, means there’s something in the Ghost’s design for everyone.

Another surprise, the design has chosen to equip its concept with a Fior type fork at the front. The Ducati Ghost is a hybrid motorcycle concept which combines a 499 cc, 81.6 hp twin-cylinder engine with a 68 hp electric motor.

The electric motor ensures a range up to 80 km/h, before the combustion engine comes in to support. The motorcycle is equipped with a 10 liter tank. On the electrical side, power is provided by removable batteries designed to be exchanged at Ducati dealerships as needed, in order to “recharge” more easily between journeys

The Ghost concept arrives to tackle the perfect meld of performance and efficiency. It is where Ghost’s clever hybrid system comes into play. With a small engine mated to the electric motor for optimum fuel consumption and speed in urban traffic. It also allows saving weight.
