Ducati's new Monster has won the Red Dot Design Award Product Design 2026, hosted by Germany's Nordrhein Westfalen Design Zentrum. The bike was praised for a philosophy of "only what's necessary, nothing extra". Past Ducati winners of the award include the 1199 Panigale and the Diavel V4.
The Monster can look understated on a spec sheet, but judged on design terms alone, this is the good part. Compared with the old model, you can clearly see it committing to stripping away every unnecessary line. Joining the award lineage that runs back to the 1199 Panigale genuinely gets my pulse up.

A German jury judging an Italian bike's design — interesting cross-pollination.
That stripped-down design language is exactly my kind of thing.
Following the Diavel V4 lineage, Ducati's design philosophy stays consistent.
Winning an award never seems to bring the price down, though.
A design-award lineage going back to the 1199 Panigale — quietly impressive.
How prestigious is the Red Dot award, actually?
