Il V4 engine it pulsates in the video, speaks with the wind, compares itself with it and then only a whirlwind of pure adrenaline emerges, which instills electrifying shocks on every straight or curve. She feels new Ducati Panigale V4 both the translation of the sporting experience of each rider has unleashed the qualities of the two-wheeled Red on the various tracks of the world, but it's not just this. The translation of the experience in MotoGP and racing cultivated over time by the technicians of Borgo Panigale, now has a shape and a lot of substance under the tricolor hull that appeared during the titled evening event "Italian Symphony", in view of the Milanese event in EICMA 2017.

A Euro 4 heart capable of transmitting 214 horsepower well, largely following the racing one. For example, the bore, counter-rotating shaft and firing order are similar, associated with a variable behavior transmission. To support the pilot, in contact with so much energy, there are also specific assistance and safety systems such as a Traction Control EVO to manage yaw or even perform a wheelie, check a specific cornering ABS linked to a signed implant Brembo with completely redefined calipers, which progressively brakes the front wheel while leaving the rear free. So a Dynamic slide or slide control, which takes care of the management of the drift, counting on the generous footprint of tyres similar in size to those used in the Superbike World Championship.

The new Ducati Panigale V4 it is made on the same frame as the Panigale, but evolved. Longer in the rear area, but still compact which supports high performance with equally high torsional rigidity. The shortened frame allows for weight reduction to optimize overall performance, given that the bike weighs dry 174 chili, Just 5kg more when compared with one twin-cylinder version. The tilt angle of the motor is the same as the unit pushing a Ducati Desmosedici GP15. Among the interesting aspects, the rims are also evolved and lightened, as are the suspensions.

Together with the Panigale V4, Ducati has also introduced an even more extreme, defined version Analysis. A limited edition version that benefits from the same devices already mentioned on the new V4 but, thanks to the presence of a branded sports exhaust Akrapovich, its engine can transmit 226 horsepower, as well as a lighter weight than 10 kg. An example for those who live for speed.

Finally, the prices of this dream "made in Borgo Panigale": they start from around 22.600 euros for the Panigale V4, 5.300 more for the "S" version, while the limited series Panigale V4 Speciale will reach almost 40 thousand euros.
