PANIGALE V4 / V4 S
Claudio Domenicali – Ducati CEO
The new Panigale V4 is the seventh generation in an incredible saga that has seen Ducati superbike and sports bikes set the benchmark among contemporary high-performance motorcycles.
Wonder. Engineered.
Wonder, the immediate and most intense sensation one has when looking at and riding this magnificent creation. A magical and irrational wonder, engineered thanks to incredible Ducati brilliance and dedication. In the epic saga of Ducati superbikes, the new Panigale V4 represents the seventh generation, a synthesis of design and technology.
“We have engineered wonder. We are all in love with this bike”
Faster than emotions.
The seventh generation of Ducati Superbike is created to improve all-round performance and introduces technical solutions deriving from lived experience and success in the racing world.
The Panigale V4 is the most high-performance sports bike in the segment today, the SBK version of which has won two consecutive Superbike World Championship titles.
Less effort and more precision for the rider, to achieve quicker lap times and heighten consistency and speed during timed sessions. Easier to ride, it allows for more rapid corner entry: a sport tool to elevate the performance of every rider.
Less than a thousandth of a second to win.
It is meticulous attention to every detail that makes the difference.
An attitude that allows the new Panigale V4 to be even faster on track, as demonstrated during a comparison test at the Cremona circuit. Three riders, one fast amateur, one professional and official Ducati test rider Alessandro Valia were all faster with the new generation Panigale V4, going one second quicker on average.
The meticulous attention to performance is also measured on the road bikes with a methodology developed by Ducati Corse to carry out lap by lap performance comparisons. Internally, this is known as “Time Difference Analysis”.
Every turn is carefully examined and the increase in effective performance can be more or less significant depending on the moves made in that specific area of the track. As you can see from the infographic above, the new Panigale V4 improves in all sectors, but the greatest performance increment comes in the areas that are highlighted.
