Ducati Panigale V4 S: powerful energy on the track [VIDEO]

The sound of the engine changes and expresses its strength at every moment, while the rider Francis Bagnaia urges the new one Ducati Panigale V4S on the route of Mugello. The perspectives of the film proposed by are interesting Ducati on Youtube.

The specialised farming model

The new Panigale V4 represents a visual and content evolution of the sports car designed by Ducati. On the hull presents new wing profiles more compact and set up with a double profile, obtaining an increase in efficiency with the same vertical load, up to 37 kg at 300 km/h. In the lower area, however, there are redefined extraction outlets, in order to optimize the cooling and proposed performance of the engine, especially when driving on a track.
In addition to one new graphic design defined by Ducati Style Center, which features black logos on red painted fairings and on the S model a two-tone double fabric saddle with red tags on the black rims; the work done on ergonomics in the "fitting" area, the rear part of the tank, is underlined, for better braking support with limited arm work. The driver's insertion is favored by an optimization in the contact area of ​​the arms during the hanging off phase, when one leans out in the center of the curve. The flatter saddle is equipped with a different double fabric covering, attenuating the tendency to move forward when braking and making movement easier.
There are also various accessories in the Ducati Performance catalogue, including approved parts and others expressly defined for use on the track.

Technical aspects

The new generation electronic part is interesting and includes a six-axis inertial platform that detects various parameters and management controls, associated with four Riding Modes: Race A, Race B, Sport e Street. The renewed instrument panel includes a new distribution of the functions of the external warning lights, as well as various parameters and an advanced interface characterized by a new Info Mode defined by MotoGP riders and named “Track Evo”, added to Road e Track.
From a structural point of view, the Desmosedici Stradale engine represents the stressed element to which an aluminum Front Frame is associated. There is also a lightweight magnesium front subframe and a shell-cast aluminum seat post.
The new Ducati Panigale V4 it is equipped with an adjustable Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) with a 43 millimeter diameter, a Sachs steering damper and an adjustable Sachs rear monoshock. There are also cast aluminum wheels with a five-spoke design.
The new Ducati Panigale V4S is characterized by a new pressurized Öhlins NPX25/30 fork with event-based electronic management, therefore a damping system with pressurized cartridge borrowed from that of the Öhlins racing forks, mitigating the risk of cavitation of the hydraulic fluid compared to a traditional system, according to the information.
We also highlight an Öhlins steering damper and an Öhlins TTX36 mono-shock absorber, equipped with an event-based control system, allowing the possibility of customizing the intensity of suspension intervention based on the individual driving phases and varying the operating parameters of the individual hardware components. The pivot of the single-sided aluminum swingarm is 4 mm higher than the previous model with an increase in the anti-squat effect and a decrease in the sinking of the rear when exiting corners and in progression.
The braking system includes front discs with a diameter of 330 mm and Brembo Stylema® monobloc calipers with four pistons, each 30 mm in diameter; instead behind a single 245 mm disc flanked by a 2-piston caliper.
The Ducati Panigale V4 S features 3-inch forged aluminum alloy 17-spoke wheels.

Thruster

The motorbike is animated by an advanced unit Desmosedici Stradale da 1.103 cc with standard Euro 5. A new Power Mode logic is highlighted with four configurations, opting between: Full, High, Medium e low. Another significant innovation is the adoption of a new gearbox with a lengthened ratio for first, second and sixth gear.
The power reaches altitude 215,5 horses at 13.000 rpm and torque 123,6 Nm (12,6 kgm) at 9.500 rpm.
