Starting with its aesthetics, the redesigned Ducati Panigale V4 boasts several updates that are both functional and visually appealing. For instance, the litre-class bike now showcases a revamped headlamp cluster that enhances its aggressive stance. Additionally, the winglets have been integrated into the fairing with a body-coloured finish, differing from the previous version, and the gills that were a feature of earlier models have been eliminated.
Among these updates, a point of discussion has emerged with the shift from a single-sided swingarm to a double-sided aluminum unit, which enhances stiffness and torsional rigidity. The ergonomics have also seen improvements aimed at increasing rider comfort, with the seat now 50 mm wider and 35 mm longer, providing additional comfort and space for the rider during maneuvers.
The Italian manufacturer has prioritized technological advancements in the motorcycle to enhance handling. The bike is equipped with features such as traction control, slide control, wheelie control, selectable ride modes, and four power modes: Full, High, Medium, and Low. Additionally, it includes a newly updated 6.9-inch TFT display that offers improved visibility in bright conditions.
Powering the Ducati Panigale V4 is a 1,103 cc Stradale four-cylinder engine, meticulously tuned to deliver 216 hp and 120 Nm of torque at peak output. The company has also implemented a revamped cooling system featuring oil and water radiators. Power delivery to the rear wheel is managed through a six-speed gearbox outfitted with a quick-shifter.
