Overview

Introducing the 2022 Ducati Panigale V4 S, a motorcycle that truly embodies the essence of Italian performance and style. Positioned at the forefront of the sportbike segment, the Panigale V4 S is designed for those who crave the thrill of the track while demanding a level of refinement that only Ducati can deliver. With its aggressive lines, aerodynamic bodywork, and unmistakable Ducati red, this bike commands attention both on the road and the racetrack. It’s more than just a machine; it’s a statement of engineering excellence that showcases the pinnacle of Ducati's racing heritage. At the heart of the Panigale V4 S is a powerful 1103cc L-twin engine featuring a counter-rotating crankshaft, delivering a staggering 215.5 horsepower at 13,000 RPM and 123.6 Nm of torque at 9,500 RPM. This powerhouse not only provides exhilarating acceleration but also a thrilling riding experience, where every twist of the throttle feels like a surge of raw, unadulterated power. The advanced electronic fuel injection system with twin injectors per cylinder ensures precise fuel delivery, resulting in seamless power delivery and impressive fuel efficiency for a sportbike at 7.6 liters per 100 km. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch, the Panigale V4 S offers both track-ready performance and rideability for everyday use. The Panigale V4 S is packed with cutting-edge technology that enhances both performance and safety. Its fully adjustable Öhlins suspension with Smart EC 2.0 allows riders to customize their ride characteristics on the fly, adapting to different riding conditions with ease. Equipped with Bosch Cornering ABS EVO, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 3, and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, this machine is engineered to provide confidence-inspiring handling and stability, whether you’re cornering at high speeds or navigating city streets. The ergonomics, with a seat height of 850 mm, make it accessible for a range of riders, while the sleek aluminum alloy frame and single-sided swingarm keep the weight down to just 174 kg (383.6 lbs), ensuring a power-to-weight ratio that is truly exhilarating. **
