239 hp - 15,750 rpm - (In Race trim) This is Racing
The closest production model to a competition bike ever.
The design remit? – Make it as fast as you can, and handle better than ever before (and it has to pass Euro 5+ emissions!!). – Looks like those boxes got well and truly ticked. All of this, and yet the Ducati Panigale V4R looks like a piece of art!!
End result, a new engine that will rev out to 16,500 RPM in 6th, giving a top speed of 330 Kmh in racing configuration!!
The new Panigale V4 R embodies the maximum expression of Ducati values: style, sophistication, performance.
It is the maximum expression of Ducati’s racing DNA, similar to a racing prototype as no other bike: a forward-looking model that accompanies the rider towards a dimension of advanced riding, made up of curves and straights that run incredibly fast, thanks to the electronics that, like an invisible, magical safety net, allow going beyond the limits.
It is designed to ensure a symphony of emotions, thanks to the new concept of performance: not only acceleration, braking ability and best lap times, but also safety and ease of riding, whatever the level of experience. In short, pure racing adrenalin but under control.
The new Panigale V4 R is a racing bike type-approved for road use and is the technical starting point from which the official Ducati Superbike models that will compete starting from 2026 racing season derive.
The Front Frame of the new Panigale V4R, developed in collaboration with the engineers of Ducati Corse, is optimised for racing use with fully mechanical Öhlins steering damper and suspensions, including the new pressurised front fork and the swinging arm with a four-way adjustable pin.
Nothing exists without function!!
Ducati presents the new Panigale V4 R: the bike that adopts technical solutions previously reserved for MotoGP and WorldSBK Championship. This is the envy of other manufacturers. The Ducati Corse Department not only goes racing, but also develops the road bikes.

–
An evident sensation of compactness
–
Exceptional stability when exiting curves
–
A natural tendancy to close the line
–
Superior mechanical grip, and greater traction
•
Reduced lateral stiffnessby –37% vs single-sided swingarm
•
+16mm/+0.6in longer vs single-sided swingarm to rebalance the greater longitudinal thrusts due to the greater rear mechanical grip
•
Monolithic chain tensioners keep the rear wheel in place during disassembly and reassembly
•
Lighter rear end
•
-3.2kg/-7lb thanks to new rear wheel assembly
•
more grip, as the wheel follows the road surface more accurately
Smaller - Lighter
Less Resistance
The aerodynamic package has been revised with a view to greater efficiency: MotoGP derived corner sidepods
The first time on a street legal sportbike
The Panigale V4R is the first ever street legal bike to use the MotoGP-derived corner sidepods
Corner side pods work when bike is leaning
Unlike wings, which are more effective when the bike is upright, the corner side-pods, are aerodynamic devices designed to work close to the ground when the bike is cornering
Ground effect generators
The interaction with the ground generates the ground effect, which is exploited to generate a system of aerodynamic forces that allow higher cornering speeds, which translates into lower laptime
Unprecedented riding feeling
When riding at high speed with lean angles above 40°, the rider immediately perceives that as the bike reaches the apex at maximum lean, it naturally drifts toward the inside, tightening the line without requiring any rider input. As a result, the exit phase and subsequent acceleration follow a cleaner, tighter trajectory.
Brand new highly efficient wings
Dual-profile wings
The wings feature two elements, the main and the flaps eparated by the split and joined at the end by a large end plate.
The wings are perfectly integrated in the front fairing
+20mm/+0.8 in wider (each wing) vs PanigaleV4’s wings
•
bigger and more efficient end plate vs PanigaleV4’s wings
•
please note the wings are wider than those of the Lamborghini version
›
Higher vertical load vs PanigaleV4, the same drag
•
higher vertical load
–
+25% @ 270 km/h
–
+4,8kg/+10.6lb @ 270 km/h
–
+6kg/+13lb @ 300 km/h
Race-Oriented Electronics
Dependable, Functional Develpoment
The greater effectiveness of the new Panigale V4 R in circuit use is also obtained thanks to the adoption of all the electronic evolutions already introduced on the Panigale V4 ’22 and ’23, with the expansion and evolution of the Power Modes, new “Track Evo” display on the dashboard, engine maps with calibration dedicated to each single gear, refinements to the Ducati Traction Control and the Ride By Wire system, but also the adoption of the Engine Brake Control EVO 2 strategy, the new strategy for the DQS and the cooling fan control update.

How much grip do you really have?
Available in race mode only
Ground breaking Grip Level Meter function
The Grip Level Meter supports the rider in the search for maximum performance
It graphically returns the estimation of tires grip levels (Low, Medium, High) available at that moment
It helps the rider to understand and evaluate the track conditions and provides useful indications to decide when it is time to fit new tires
For track use only
Designed to perform at its best under highly repeatable conditions, the Grip Level Meter is for track use only and requires the installation of Ducati DAVC Race Pro software
The first ever among street legal sportbikes
Under Ducati Patent
Ducati Racing Gearbox (DRG)
The first ever among street legal sportbikes
The new Panigale V4R is the only one street legal sport bike to feature a racing gearshift pattern (Neutral below I gear)
and to have the Neutral selection locked while riding
The Ducati Racing Gearbox (DRG)
Like for racing bikes the position of the Neutral is below the I gear instead of between the I and II
Benefits vs street gearshift pattern
It prevents unwanted shifts into Neutral in downshifting (from II to I) when entering curves to be taken in I gear
It increases full throttle upshifting fluidity f rom I to II
It increases upshifting repeatability from I to II
It features a mechanic system named Ducati Neutral Lock (DNL) that locks the Neutral selection to prevent unwanted shifts into Neutral in downshifting from I gear.
Ducati Neutral Lock (DNL)
Located in the engine block
It blocks the gear shift drum from rotating into Neutral from I gear
It is disabled by pressing the release lever positioned on the right-handclip – on the handlebar
To engage Neutral, the rider must perform the same maneuvers that the official Moto GP and Superbike riders do.
With I gear engaged – pull the clutch lever, press the Neutral release lever, select Neutral with the gearshift pedal, release the clutch lever and the Neutral release lever
From the Neutral position – I gear engages normally without the need to press the Neutral release lever
Ducati patent
•
The DNL is patented by Ducati
•
It is derived from the system already used by Ducati Corse. It differs for a smoother, operation with reduced play.
