A small group of European journalists attended Casa Maria Luigia (which is the chef Massimo Bottura's B&B) for the occasion, but now they will be able to inform the rest of us about the bike.

Based on what we can see from the images the V21L that was unveiled earlier in the morning is very much like that of the V21L version the company Ducati was testing.

The livery, however, is obviously, distinct and refined. A portion of the carbon fibers are covered while some are left exposed to showcase its stunning and distinctive grain.

A large portion of the weight is due to 110 kilograms (approximately 242.5 pounds) battery that is an 18 kWh unit specifically created to work with the bike. It also connects direct with the swingarm.

What is the power? Peak claims 110 kW or 150 horsepower, and 103 lbs of torque. It's capable of running the required seven laps on the GP track, which is what Dorna would like to use to race on in its MotoE races.
