This is Racing

Ducati presents the Panigale V4 R: the bike that adopts technical solutions previously reserved for MotoGP and WorldSBK Championship.

The closest production model to a competition bike ever.

Pure racing spirit

The road version of the Panigale V4 R undergoes significant development, upgrading in all areas to be faster on the track and even more race-oriented. 

A heart beating 16,500 rpm

The heart of the Panigale V4 R is the new 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R, an engine capable of reaching a maximum engine speed of 16,500 rpm in sixth gear (16,000 in the other ratios) and delivering a maximum power of 218 hp at 15,500 rpm (Euro-5 compliant*), absolute benchmark values in the panorama of supersports bikes of the same displacement.
*Only in countries where Euro 5 applies

Race-oriented electronics

The greater effectiveness of the Panigale V4 R in circuit use is also obtained thanks to the adoption of all the electronic evolutions already introduced on the Panigale V4 '22 and '23, with the expansion and evolution of the Power Modes, new “Track Evo” display on the dashboard, engine maps with calibration dedicated to each single gear, refinements to the Ducati Traction Control and the Ride By Wire system, but also the adoption of the Engine Brake Control EVO 2 strategy, the new strategy for the DQS and the cooling fan control update.

Improved track-feeling

To increase nimbleness, rider feeling and grip, the chassis follows the evolutionary direction traced by the Panigale V4/V4 S with the 2022 model, while maintaining fully mechanical suspension adjustment. At the front, the Öhlins NPX25/30 pressurized fork increases its travel by 5 mm compared to the previous "R". This technical solution, combined with an Öhlins TTX36 shock absorber and a standard adjustment of the swingarm pivot to the +1 position, increases the rear height by 20 mm. In this way, a higher centre of gravity is achieved and therefore greater nimbleness in corner entry and changes of direction.

Aerodynamic development

The aerodynamic package has been revised with a view to greater efficiency: the new two-element wings (main + flap) guarantee the same aerodynamic load, but are more compact and thinner (respectively by 40% and 50%).

    Racing technology

    The Panigale V4 R adopts technical solutions reserved for MotoGP and Superbikes, such as "gun drilled" titanium connecting rods and pistons with DLC surface treatment.

    Other interventions involve pistons with new geometry, a more aggressive intake cam profile, adoption of the same gear ratio used by bikes competing in World Superbike, and a new lighter dry clutch.

    Greater effectiveness in track use is also achieved through electronic evolutions, such as the expansion and evolution of the Power Modes, the new Track Evo display on the dashboard, engine maps with dedicated calibration for each individual gear, refinements to the DTC and Ride By Wire throttle system, but also the Engine Brake Control EVO 2, the new strategy for the DQS, and the updated cooling fan control.

    The Panigale V4 R also adopts a new throttle control that improves the rider's feeling when opening and managing the throttle.

          The circuit. Its natural
          habitat.

          Even faster. Even more racing. The track soul of the new Panigale V4 R makes it the perfect bike for your track days. The new livery is inspired by MotoGP in its graphics and conveys the racing spirit from the very first glance, incorporating white number plates with the number "1" prominently displayed.

          A magical combination of
          beauty and technology

          Discover the range of Ducati Performance accessories designed to enhance the look and performance of your new Panigale V4 R.
          EXHAUST
          With an Akrapovič titanium full exhaust system with double under-seat silencer, which improves the already reduced weight/power ratio of the V4 R thanks to a weight saving of 5 kg compared to the standard system and the increase in power up to 237 hp. The exhaust is supplied with dedicated mapping with which all DTC, DWC, DPL and DSC parameters are adjusted to the new performance of the bike.
          PIT STOP
          The Pit Stop accessory package offers tyre warmers and garage stands to enable you to approach your track sessions in the best of conditions. Those wishing to use Slick or Rain tyres can choose the DTC EVO 3 software, which introduces the specific calibrations of the electronic controls.
          CARBON
          To further embellish the Panigale V4 R it is also possible to adopt one or more of the carbon fibre components for the superstructures, from front and rear mudguards to protections for the frame, swingarm, sprocket and crankcase, even arriving at details such as the ducts for the cooling of the front brakes, which improve performance on the track and make braking more efficient and consistent.

            Magnesium rims

            Further lightening is possible by fitting the magnesium rims, which guarantee a saving of 0.7 kg (- 10%) compared to the already light forged original equipment rims, improving all aspects of dynamics and above all nimbleness in corner entry and in changes of direction.

            Aluminum adjustable footpegs

            To better adapt the riding position, adjustable aluminium rider footpegs are available, developed by Ducati Corse in collaboration with Rizoma. They have articulated brake and shift pedals to minimize the risk of breakage in the event of a slip and use the standard DQS, which can be configured as either a traditional or inverted/racing shifter.

            Shell oil developed in collaboration

            The engine development of the new Panigale V4 R also involved the creation of a special oil developed by Shell in collaboration with Ducati Corse.
            Everything to reach the highest levels in your performance on the track. Complete your racing look with the perfect racing apparel.
