Traces of the Ducati 916 are visible in the general proportions of the new Panigale V4, with a higher front end and slightly lower tail that balance the body for a more horizontal dynamic, typical of Ducati sports bikes of the past. The side fairing is clean and elegant. 

The hot air extractor grabs attention on the upper section, while the lower area may look like a single fairing, Ducati 916 style, but in fact conceals the oil cooler’s horizontal hot air outlet. 

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 colleagues 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 seventh generation of Ducati Superbike is created to improve all-round performance and introduces technical solutions deriving from lived experience and success in the racing world.

The Panigale V4 is the most high-performance sports bike in the segment today, the SBK version of which has won two consecutive Superbike World Championship titles.

Less effort and more precision for the rider, to achieve quicker lap times and heighten consistency and speed during timed sessions. Easier to ride, it allows for more rapid corner entry: a sport tool to elevate the performance of every rider.

It is meticulous attention to every detail that makes the difference.
An attitude that allows the new Panigale V4 to be even faster on track, as demonstrated during a comparison test at the Cremona circuit. Three riders, one fast amateur, one professional and official Ducati test rider Alessandro Valia were all faster with the new generation Panigale V4, going one second quicker on average.
