The aerodynamic approach is revolutionised with this motorcycle. The new Panigale V4 develops the concept of aerodynamic integration, seamlessly merging the various surfaces serving style and aerodynamics. Designers worked side by side with Ducati Corse technicians responsible for the aerodynamics of the Desmosedici GP to create the surfaces of the side and front fairings complete with integrated aerodynamic appendages. The side view stands out for the shape of the very high front wheel arch, in line with the current MotoGP philosophy. 

The heart of the new Panigale V4 is the latest evolution of the Desmosedici Stradale. More powerful, lighter, with less consumption and conforming with the Euro 5+ standard.

The cooling system has been redesigned to guarantee consistent performance even in very high temperatures or extreme use on track. The effective cooling area of the water radiator has been increased by 17%, while the oil radiator benefits from a more efficient, race-derived water circulation layout that is dual flow. The new radiators make for an air mass cooling increase of 19% for the oil radiator and 9% for the water radiator.

The continuous pursuit of heightened performance, that can be achieved by an increasing number of riders with less physical and mental effort, has led to significant development of the chassis for the Panigale V4, the result of experience acquired in MotoGP and Superbike.

The Panigale V4 S is equipped with the Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) 3.0 system, based on the Öhlins NPX-30 pressurised fork, Öhlins TTX36 rear shock and Öhlins steering damper. Advanced technology valves extend the range of hydraulic braking adjustment and ensure heightened reactivity and quicker adjustment. 

The Panigale V4 debuts a brand-new dashboard. Boasting a 6.9” colour screen and 1280 x 480-pixel resolution, it sets new standards in terms of its readability, ease of use and the amount of information it provides. The 8:3 aspect ratio increases the quantity of data and insights available and ensures excellent visibility even from behind the fairing. 

Thanks to the use of Optical Bonding technology, with graphics on a black background and glass protection, the aesthetic is impeccable and ensures excellent visibility also during the day. The dash is controlled by an HMI that uses two rocker controllers located on the left block.
