About Ducati Panigale V4

Ducati Panigale V4 Features

The Panigale V4 gets tons of riding aids like traction control, wheelie control, cornering ABS, slide control, launch control and a bi-directional quick shifter as standard. All of these riding aids are linked to a six-axis IMU to give the rider a better grip on the rocket ship. All of these can be controlled via the switch cube located on the left clip-on bar and the color 5-inch TFT screen.

Ducati Panigale V4 Engine

The Ducati Panigale V4 is powered by a 1,103cc Desmosedici Straddle V4 motor that pumps out an impressive 217PS at 13,000 rpm and 124Nm of 10,000 rpm . It gets a counter-rotating crankshaft to reduce the gyroscopic effect of the engine and also to control wheelies to a certain extent. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a hydraulically actuated slip-and-assist clutch .

Ducati Panigale V4 Suspension & Brakes

Suspension duties on the standard Ducati Panigale V4 are handled by a 43mm Showa BPF USD fork and Sachs monoshock affixed onto a single-sided aluminum swingarm, both units fully-adjustable. If you opt for the Panigale V4 S, you get the 43mm Ohlin’s NIX 30 USD fork and Ohlin’s TTX36 monoshock. These units are electronically adjustable for compression and rebound settings while preload on the latter unit is still a manual affair. Braking hardware remains common across both variants with the front wheel fitted with Brembo’s Style a monobloc calipers chomping down on 330mm rotors. At the rear, you get a 245mm disc with a two-piston Brembo sliding caliper. Super grippy Pirelli Diablo Supercross SP rubber remains standard. However, the standard variant gets 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels and the S variant rolls on 3-spoke Marchesani forged aluminum wheels.
