The 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 will go on sale in India soon. The Italian manufacturer has made the official launch announcement on its social media channels. The new Panigale V4 bears a new design, a new swingarm and a number of other changes over its predecessor.
Starting with the looks, the new Panigale V4 is sharper and sleeker. Whether it is the LED headlights, the shape of the fairing or the tail section, the bike looks quite attractive. Also, aerodynamic winglets are placed right below the headlights and are body coloured.
The Panigale V4, as the name suggests, has a 1,103cc, V4 engine is now Euro5+ compliant and makes 214bhp at 13.500rpm and 120.9Nm at 11,250rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox with a quickshifter as standard.
Moving to the hardware, the Panigale V4 has a “Front Frame” with a 40 percent reduction in lateral stiffness but longitudinal stiffness is unchanged. The new Panigale V4 also ditches the single-sided swingarm and instead gets a new hollow symmetrical swingarm.
As for suspension, the V4S has an Ohlins NPX-30 pressurised fork and at the rear, there is a TTX36 monoshock. Braking, meanwhile, is taken care of by Brembo Hypure calipers that bite onto twin discs at the front. At the rear, there is a single disc.
As expected from a top-shelf Ducati, the bike has a a plethora of electronics that includes, power modes (Full, High, Medium and Low), ride modes, traction control, wheelie control, slide control and more.
The price of the nee Ducati Panigale V4 should hover between Rs 28 lakh to Rs 30 lakh, ex-showroom.
