More than a pursuit of speed or undeniable power, it was a celebration of souls on two wheels. Ducati Indonesia showcased the true strength of unity among Ducatisti—owners and enthusiasts of Ducati motorcycles—at the prestigious annual gathering, “We Ride As One 2025.” Nusa Tenggara Barat, specifically Mandalika, Lombok, provided the ideal stage for the red brigade to fuel their passion and partake in an exclusive series of events. If one were to sum up the experience in a few words, unity, exclusivity, and intensity best describe this remarkable occasion. The day unfolded from early morning city rides to a thrilling midnight journey, sustaining high energy well into the night.
to its name, Rolling Thunder marked a commanding start to the day’s festivities, as Ducati motorcycles thundered in disciplined formation from Pullman Lombok Mandalika Beach Resort. The procession flowed smoothly along the scenic Bypass BIL Mandalika, heading toward the iconic Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit. An impressive line-up of machines—including Superbikes, Sport Classic, Streetfighter, Diavel, Monster, Supersport, Desert X, Multistrada, Hypermotard, and Scrambler—formed a respective convoy, each one contributing its distinct note to the harmony of horsepower. It was a ride defined not only by motion, but by momentum—of machines, of brotherhood, and of purpose. The experience reached its peak with a parade lap inside the famed circuit, a proud symbol of Indonesia’s motorsport legacy and host to national and international races.
But the thrill didn’t stop at the parade. One of the day’s most coveted highlights was the Track Experience, a rare chance to ride like a professional on the very circuit that has challenged the world’s best. Participants suited up in full racing gear, projecting the focused energy of seasoned riders preparing for the track. Guided by certified DRE (Ducati Riding Experience) Track Academy instructors Carlos Serrano and Dito Mulyawadi, the session offered more than just speed, it was an education in performance riding. From mastering racing lines and refining techniques to advanced safety protocols, each rider gained valuable insight into the art of circuit riding, elevating the day into an experience both visceral and unforgettable.
Innovation demands attention in the world of high-performance motorcycles—especially when it comes from a brand like Ducati. Stealing the spotlight in Mandalika, the Ducati Panigale V2 and V2 S made an impressive debut in Indonesia, showcasing the brand’s relentless drive for excellence. The Panigale V2 S weighs 17 kilograms less than its predecessor, thanks to a newly engineered 90° V2 engine that delivers improved performance and efficiency. Key upgrades include Variable Valve Timing (VVT), Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating on the rocker arms, and hollow intake valves—cutting-edge features designed for precise power delivery.
The bike is equipped with Ducati’s latest-generation electronic suite, anchored by a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Features like cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Wheelie Control, Power Launch, Pit Limiter, Engine Brake Control, and the latest Quick Shift 2.0 ensure an uncompromising riding experience. With four ride modes—Race, Sport, Road, and Wet—the Panigale V2 S adapts seamlessly to any condition. Presented in the iconic Ducati Red, the V2 is offered in a two-seater configuration, while the V2 S comes as a single-seater for riders seeking track-ready precision.
In its fourth edition, “We Ride As One 2025” closed with the bold Ducati Party, where Ducatisti gathered at Mandalika Beach Club under the electrifying beats of Dutch DJ Dash Berlin. The venue pulsed with Ducati’s iconic red, featuring striking visual installations and a rugged custom Ducati bar, setting the stage for a fierce celebration of brotherhood. Held simultaneously worldwide on the first Saturday of May, the event embodied an unstoppable lifestyle and unwavering camaraderie among riders.
