Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – In a spectacular display of brand loyalty and community spirit, over 200 Ducati motorcycle enthusiasts made history by participating in the 'We Ride As One 2026 – Malaysia Edition' convoy. As reported by Utusan Malaysia, this event granted participants unprecedented access to the prestigious Menara 118, Malaysia's tallest building, creating a memorable backdrop for a global celebration of Ducati's centenary.
The convoy, orchestrated by the Ducati Official Club Malaysia (DOCM), was part of a worldwide initiative involving Ducati communities in more than 65 countries. This synchronized event underscores the global reach and passionate following of the iconic Italian motorcycle brand. The Malaysian leg saw riders depart from Ducati Kuala Lumpur, embarking on a carefully planned route that included a significant stop at Menara 118 for a unique photo and video opportunity.
Around 100 participants moved from the main assembly point accompanied by five traffic police officers before entering the route around Mahameru, Masjid Albukhary, Menara 118 and Stadium Merdeka.
Datuk Seri Nazir Hussin Akhtar Hussin, President of DOCM, emphasized the importance of discipline during the event. Riders were organized into groups, accompanied by traffic police, to ensure a smooth and orderly progression through the city. Specific instructions were given regarding conduct within the Stadium Merdeka area, adjacent to Menara 118, with a strict reminder not to perform stunts like tire spinning, as the stadium's recently refurbished floor required careful preservation. This attention to detail highlights the organizers' commitment to respecting public spaces and maintaining a positive image for the Ducati community.
Following the memorable session at Menara 118, the convoy continued its journey towards Janda Baik, a popular destination known for its natural beauty. This event not only celebrated Ducati's 100 years but also showcased Malaysia's capability in hosting large-scale, coordinated international events, further cementing its position as a vibrant hub for automotive enthusiasts in Southeast Asia. The unique access granted at Menara 118, a symbol of modern Malaysia, added a distinctively local and impressive element to the global celebration.
Do not spin your tires because the floor of Stadium Merdeka has just been repaired and the management does not want tire marks in that area.
