Ducati Panigale V4 Design

The Ducati Panigale V4 gets a sharp design with sleek LED DRLs that look quite aggressive. While the bike is only available in a single colour scheme, it definitely suits the bike giving it excellent road presence. For 2025, Ducati switched to the double-sided swingarm, replacing the iconic single sided one and it now has winglets that give it a very distinctive look. The Ducati Panigale V4 R is inspired by the Ducati 996R from 2001. It gets ‘corner sidepods’ on both sides for better aerodynamics.

In the V4 R, the engine has been retuned to WBSK specifications, and has a displacement of 998cc. Despite the lower displacement, here the engine makes 218PS. The V4 R also comes with a ‘Ducati Racing Gearbox’ where the neutral is placed below the first gear.
