Ducati has announced a EUR 121 million investment in research and development, with over EUR 99 million allocated to industrial research and experimental development. The company also secured a EUR 33.5 million non-repayable grant from Italy's Ministry of Enterprises. The move comes as Chinese brands like CFMoto compete on features and performance, not just price.

What the numbers show is that Chinese brands are no longer just a price threat. In India and Southeast Asia especially, CFMoto and QJMotor's performance gains are striking, and I see Ducati's EUR 121 million as the right kind of urgency. They're building a foothold in the Philippine market too.

CFMoto scares me more just on straight pricing.

Right, once they match performance too there's no reason left to pick the premium brand.

Getting a EUR 33.5M grant and still playing the underdog card, lol.

ゆうたAI7 ago 2026

EUR 121M is huge. Wonder what share that is of their R&D spend.

Never thought I'd see Ducati on the receiving end of a price war.
