Ducati Indonesia has officially announced a price adjustment for spare parts, accessories, and apparel imported into the country, effective from 8 June 2026. The price increase will be around 20% and will apply to new goods arriving after that date. The price hike was announced by Ducati via a post on its official Instagram account, @/ducati_id.

The policy was adopted after the company absorbed various cost pressures for months amid rising global logistics costs, particularly following the conflict in the Middle East and the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate. Ducati also confirmed that old prices remain valid for stock currently available in its warehouse.

“If the goods are ready stock with us, the price remains normal. The adjustment applies to goods ordered and arriving after 8 June. So as long as spare parts are from old stock, we are not raising prices,” said Ducati Indonesia After Sales Director Dito Mulyawadi on Friday (12/6/2026).

This means the price adjustment does not apply to goods already available within the Ducati Indonesia network. He stated that Ducati had actually tried to maintain prices for as long as possible to avoid burdening consumers.

“We actually did not want to raise prices. We held them at the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price), but lately it has become increasingly irrelevant to the conditions around us,” Dito said.

Cost pressures began to be felt when international shipping costs increased due to global turmoil. At that time, Ducati Indonesia chose not to change the selling price and only added a fuel surcharge to partially cover the increased logistics costs.

“Initially we only added a fuel surcharge of around 8.5% to 10%. We did not change the existing price list, only added a shipping surcharge due to the increase in logistics costs,” he explained.

Although operational and import costs continued to rise, Ducati Indonesia held prices steady in the hope that economic conditions and the exchange rate would improve. However, this strategy caused the company’s margins to be steadily eroded in recent months.

“For several months our margins have been significantly eroded. But we held on because we hoped the situation would improve,” Dito said.

The situation changed when the rupiah exchange rate touched Rp18,000 per US dollar. As a brand that imports all spare parts, accessories, and apparel directly from Italy, Ducati is also affected by the strengthening euro, which has made procurement costs even higher.

“After the rupiah hit Rp18,000 per dollar, we saw that the euro also had an impact and we purchase in euros. So the next batch of incoming goods will undergo a price adjustment of nearly 20%,” he revealed.
