The latest evolution of a legendary saga that epitomises Ducati sports attitude. Developed to respect the WorldSBK championship regulation, the new Panigale V4 R embodies the success achieved by Ducati in MotoGP and Superbike. Powered by the 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale, it is the first bike homologated for road use to feature Corner Sidepods and the Ducati Racing Gearbox with Ducati Neutral Lock (DNL).
Racing is just the beginning
Built for the challenge
The Panigale V4 R flaunts the very best of racing technology applied to a homologated sports bike, the result of Ducati success in MotoGP and Superbike. This bike gives access to technical solutions that were previously only available to official Ducati riders.
DESIGN
Shaped by racing
Compact forms, sharp lines and advanced technical solutions based on aerodynamics research blend to form an exhilarating, aggressive aesthetic. Born to exceed every limit.
Designed to race
The Panigale V4 R maintains the balanced proportions of the Panigale V4 and adds advanced aerodynamic solutions that further hone the design, for a marked evolution with respect to the previous model. The aesthetics benefit from a selection of carbon fibre components, some of which replace original elements to emphasise the exclusive look but also reduce the bike’s overall weight.
Redesigned intake ducts
The updates made to obtain Euro 5+ homologation, for a reduction in raw emissions (those before the catalytic converter) without reducing engine performance, involve repositioned injectors and a new intake duct design. The intake ducts now have a cleaner inner surface, for improved permeability with respect to the previous configuration, with the throttle fully open at maximum valve lift.
Tank in brushed aluminium
For added appeal and authenticity, the tank in visible brushed aluminium underlines the seductive, racing character of the Panigale V4 R.
Race-inspired colour scheme
In line with all iconic Borgo Panigale homologated special editions, the colour scheme relies on the racing spirit evoked by Ducati Red, for which the “R” bikes competing in WorldSBK have long stood out. The red of the fairings creates a bold contract with the frame and swingarm, which add an aggressive, technical touch in black, exclusive to the V4 R.
ENGINE
Advanced race engine
Even faster. Even more racing. Designed to respect World Superbike regulations. With its 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R engine, it delivers 239 hp, for speeds in excess of 330 km/h.
