On May 3rd, 2025, Ducati India joined thousands of Ducatisti across the globe to celebrate We Ride As One — a global event that unites the Ducati community in a single, symbolic ride. Hosted by VST Ducati and VFMDucati, the Bangalore edition turned the city’s roads into a vibrant display of red, white, and black as over 80 Ducati riders came together in an unforgettable show of passion, power, and pride. It was a celebration of everything Ducati stands for — speed, performance, community, and a shared love for high-performance motorcycles.
The event began with an early morning gathering at the VST Ducati showroom, where riders from all walks of life came together, each eager to experience the thrill of riding in a unified convoy. As the clock struck, the engines roared to life, and the convoy began its journey toward Clarks Exotica, a scenic resort known for its tranquil ambiance and luxurious charm. The route was thoughtfully chosen for its perfect balance of smooth roads and picturesque landscapes, providing the ideal canvas to showcase the remarkable agility and power of Ducati’s flagship models. Bikes like the Multistrada V4, Scrambler Icon, and Panigale V4 led the pack, each machine effortlessly blending the thrill of performance with the joy of exploration.
As the convoy made its way through Bangalore’s bustling streets, it was clear that the event was not just about the bikes or the ride — it was about the community that surrounds Ducati. The We Ride As One initiative serves as a reminder that Ducati is more than just a motorcycle brand; it’s a global family. Riders from diverse backgrounds, different cities, and varying levels of experience came together, each sharing a unique bond forged by their love for Ducati motorcycles. It was a vibrant, emotional atmosphere where stories were shared, travel plans discussed, and a deeper connection was made — not just with the machines, but with the people who ride them.
Upon arrival at Clarks Exotica, the celebration continued with a laid-back gathering. Riders took time to relax, interact, and reflect on the significance of the ride. Refreshments were served, but the real highlight was the sense of camaraderie and the conversations that flowed as easily as the coffee. Riders swapped tales of their Ducati experiences, some sharing the journeys they’d undertaken on their bikes, while others spoke of future rides they dreamed of completing. For many of the new riders, this was their first large-scale ride with the Ducati community — a milestone that added to the thrill of the day.
A special moment during the event came when VST Ducati celebrated its 10th anniversary with a heartfelt cake-cutting ceremony. The air was filled with applause and cheers as the Ducati family marked this significant milestone, which reflected the journey of growth, innovation, and passion for the brand. This celebration wasn’t just about the achievements of VST Ducati; it was a collective celebration of every Ducati rider and their contribution to the growing legacy of the Ducati brand in India.
For long-time Ducatisti, the We Ride As One event was a reaffirmation of everything that Ducati represents: freedom, passion, and a sense of family. It was an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones, strengthening the bonds that have been forged over the years. For newcomers, it was an introduction to the larger Ducati community, an immersion into a world that extends beyond just riding and racing — one where each ride is a celebration of the brand’s ethos and the spirit of adventure.
The We Ride As One event proved that Ducati is not just about the machines, but the people behind them. It’s a movement, a global heartbeat that resonates from one continent to another, from one rider to the next. And on that day, Bangalore became a shining chapter in this global Ducati narrative, as riders came together, celebrated their shared passion, and rode as one
