Ducati Panigale V4 S 2021 Specification

The Ducati Panigale V4 S 2021 is a high-performance motorcycle designed for both track and road use, combining advanced engineering with cutting-edge technology. At its heart is a 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, delivering an impressive 214 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 12.6 kgm at 10,000 rpm. This powerplant is mated to a 6-speed gearbox featuring Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) for seamless shifting. The bike's chassis is based on an aluminum front frame that integrates with the engine for enhanced rigidity and performance.

The suspension system is composed of Öhlins NIX-30 forks at the front and an Öhlins TTX36 shock at the rear, both of which are electronically controlled by the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 system, offering superior ride quality and adaptability. The Panigale V4 S rolls on lightweight Marchesini forged aluminum wheels, wrapped in Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires, providing excellent grip and handling. Braking is handled by Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers with dual 330 mm discs at the front and a 245 mm disc at the rear, ensuring exceptional stopping power.

Electronics play a significant role in the Panigale V4 S, featuring a comprehensive suite of rider aids including Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Slide Control (DSC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), and Engine Brake Control (EBC). These systems are managed through a 5-inch full-TFT color display, offering intuitive navigation and customization of riding modes. The bike also incorporates a bi-directional Bosch six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that enhances the effectiveness of its electronic aids.

Weighing in at 174 kg dry, the Ducati Panigale V4 S 2021 combines lightweight construction with aerodynamic efficiency, highlighted by winglets derived from MotoGP technology. This motorcycle is a testament to Ducati's commitment to innovation, performance, and design excellence.
