New Ducati Panigale V4 Bookings Open in India

Ducati has revamped its flagship superbike, the Panigale V4, with a host of aesthetic and technological upgrades. Visually, the most striking change is the redesigned headlamp cluster, giving the bike an even more aggressive front profile. The winglets, previously integrated into the fairing, are now separate, body-colored elements. Ducati has also streamlined the fairing by removing the gill-like vents seen on the previous model. A more controversial change is the switch from a single-sided to a conventional double-sided swingarm. Subtle ergonomic tweaks aim to enhance rider comfort.

Beyond the cosmetic changes, Ducati has focused on improving the Panigale V4’s handling through advanced technology. The bike now features a comprehensive suite of electronic rider aids, including traction control, slide control, wheelie control, and multiple ride modes. Power delivery is managed through four selectable power settings: Full, High, Medium, and Low. A new, larger 6.9-inch TFT display improves visibility, especially in sunny conditions.

The heart of the Panigale V4 remains the 1,103 cc Stradale four-cylinder engine, now tuned to produce a peak power output of 216 hp and 120 Nm of torque. A redesigned cooling system, incorporating both oil and water radiators, helps manage engine temperatures. Power is channeled to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox equipped with a quick-shifter.
