MY24 Ducati Panigale V4 refreshed & revealed

Ducati has launched the new Panigale V4, a superbike that promises to push the boundaries of road super sports bikes. Engineered for an unparalleled riding experience, the Panigale V4 combines advanced technology, lightweight design, and a powerful engine, making it a formidable contender in its class.

Enhanced Performance and Design

The new Panigale V4 features a power-to-weight ratio of 1:15 hp/Kg, achieved through weight reduction and a powerful engine. This balance ensures both thrilling performance and ease of handling, making the bike suitable for riders of all levels, from amateurs to professionals. The bike’s design, influenced by the MotoGP, merges aerodynamics with aesthetics, creating a machine that is both visually stunning and performance-oriented.

Cutting-Edge Technology

The Panigale V4’s technology is largely derived from MotoGP, offering features such as:

• V4 Engine: The Desmosedici Stradale engine, a 90° V4 with desmodromic distribution and counter-rotating shaft, delivers 216 hp at 13,500 rpm and 12.3 Kgm of torque at 11,250 rpm.
• MotoGP-Inspired Electronics: Features like Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Slide Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, and Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, all refined by the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) system, enhance the bike’s performance and rider confidence.

Ergonomics and Comfort

The Panigale V4’s riding position has been optimized for maximum rider integration with the bike’s aerodynamics and improved vehicle control. The seat-tank assembly allows greater freedom of movement, facilitating easier positioning during aggressive riding. Footrests have been adjusted for better ground clearance and aerodynamic efficiency.

Advanced Dashboard

The new 6.9” full-TFT dashboard with an 8:3 aspect ratio offers maximum readability, displaying real-time data like lateral acceleration, power and torque output, and lean angle. The dashboard’s design, inspired by MotoGP, supports riders in achieving peak performance.
