The new Ducati Panigale V4 R represents Ducati’s updated WSBK championship challenger, featuring a race-homologated 998cc, 90-degree V4 engine producing 218hp and 114.5Nm in stock form. With an optional full-system titanium Akrapovic exhaust and racing oil, power increases to 239hp. The engine uses an 81mm bore with a shorter 48.4mm stroke compared to the 53.5mm stroke on the larger 1,103cc V4 S.
Premium components include mechanically adjustable Ohlins suspension, forged wheels with Pirelli rubber, a lithium-ion battery, and Brembo Hypure calipers. The bike also features a brushed aluminum tank and larger winglets providing 25 percent more downforce.
Each bike features its number etched onto the top triple clamp for exclusivity, along with a comprehensive electronics package including the 7-inch TFT display from the Panigale V4 and Diavel.
