The new generation of the Ducati Panigale V4 2025 once again raises the bar in every aspect compared to the model it precedes. Developed from the bike that has won the Superbike World Championship for the last two years in a row, the new Panigale V4 has undergone a complete rethinking in terms of design, technical basis and ergonomics.
A development that takes full advantage of the advantages arising from the evolution of tyres, aerodynamics and electronics, thanks also to the experience of Ducati Corse. Claudio Domenicali Presenting the bike during the Ducati World Premiere he said:
“The Ducati’s mission is to enrich people’s lives through technologically sophisticated motorcycles characterized by sensual beauty.”
He concludes: “Few Motorcycles like the new 2025 Panigale V4, the seventh generation of Ducati Superbikes, fulfil this mission. A motorcycle that continues a history of successes and unforgettable models, and that represents the ultimate expression of our values of Style, Sophistication and Performance.”
Rivals of the Ducati Panigale V4 2025
Currently, the high-performance sports segment is made up of an excellent compendium of models derived directly from the racing bikes of each brand. Among the strongest rivals is the new Ducati Panigale V4 2025 we found the following:
Ducati Panigale V4 2025 engine
Without a doubt, the engine that equips the Panigale V4 2025 It is the ultimate exponent of technology and performance within the Borgo Panigale firm. Desmosedici Stradaleis strictly derived from the Ducati MotoGP engine, with which it shares numerous technical solutions, starting with the architecture. It is a 90° V4 with desmodromic distribution, counter-rotating shaft and Twin Pulse distribution.
The Desmosedici Stradale of the new Panigale V4 has a revised distribution system, with cams with a different profile and higher lift. The alternator and oil pump are the same as those on the Panigale V4 R, while the gearbox drum is the one used on the Superleggera V4. The variable-length intake trumpets have a longer stroke, with a value of 25 mm in the short configuration (-10 mm) and 80 in the long one (+5 mm).
The Desmosedici Stradale engine, approved for Euro5+, delivers 216 hp at 13,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 120.9 Nm at 11,250 rpm. Values that increase with the circuit configuration: by incorporating the Ducati Performance racing exhaust from Akrapovič, the maximum power increases to an impressive 228 hp. Ducati declares an average consumption of 6.5 L per 100 km at legal speeds.
Cycle part of the Ducati Panigale V4 2025
The second pillar on which the Panigale V4’s effectiveness is based, in any of its versions, is its highly advanced chassis. To achieve this, the front frame was modified and a new swingarm with two symmetrical arms was developed – Ducati Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm -; lightweight and with an innovative design, thanks to a specific geometry, which has allowed the silencer to be kept in position below the engine.
Suspension is provided by a fully adjustable 43mm Showa Big Piston (BPF) fork, along with a Sachs monoshock and a steering damper also signed by the Germans. Braking, on the other hand, is provided by two 330mm front discs actuated by Brembo Hypure monobloc calipers, while at the rear we find a third disc, measuring 245mm, and a double-piston caliper.
The whole thing is anchored by five-spoke light alloy wheels fitted with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 tyres in sizes 120/70ZR-17 and 200/60-17, front and rear respectively. In addition, it is electronically assisted by a Race eCBS electronic system.
As for the final dimensions, the wheelbase is 1,485 mm, with the base of the pilot’s seat 850 mm above the ground. The Panigale V4 claims a dry weight of 191 kg, to which we must add the 17 litres of fuel that can be stored in its tank.
Equipment and finishes of the Ducati Panigale V4 2025
The Panigale V4 2025 It is equipped with a complete electronic control package: Ducati Traction Control DVO (traction control), Ducati Slide Control (sliding control), Ducati Wheelie Control DVO (anti-wheelie control), Ducati Power Launch DVO (launch control), Engine Brake Control (engine brake control) and Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 (shift assistant).
The DQS 2.0 system uses a strategy based solely on the angular position sensor of the shift drum, thus allowing the use of a shift rod without microswitches and therefore offering the rider a more direct feel with a reduced travel.
The instrumentation is completely new. The 6.9” screen with a definition of 8:3 it offers maximum readability without interfering with vision by hiding behind the dome on straight lines. The glass protector uses Optical Bonding technology to ensure optimal readability on a black background even during the day.
On the new Panigale V4 2025, the sensation of being on a Desmosedici GP is enhanced by the new Track display on the instrument panel. Thanks to the size and width of the new screen, a series of new parameters can be displayed on one side of the screen:
- “g-Meter”which indicates in real time the value of lateral acceleration when tilting, and longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking.
- “Power&Torque”which shows the percentage of power and torque delivered at that moment compared to the maximum values available given the gear engaged.
- “Lean angle”, showing the instantaneous lean angles accompanied by the level of throttle opening and the pressure exerted on the brake.

Ducati Panigale V4 S 2025
The 2025 Panigale V4 S differs fundamentally from the standard model in that it is equipped with Öhlins SmartEC3.0 electronically controlled suspension, forged aluminium wheels and a lithium battery, giving it a final dry weight of 187 kg. The forged aluminium alloy wheels with five tangential spokes, inspired by those of the Desmosedici GP, weigh just 2.95 kg at the front and 4.15 kg at the rear.
The third-generation electronically controlled Öhlins NPX/TTX suspensions on the Panigale V4 S 2025 have expanded their range of adjustments, offering a more comfortable set-up for road use and are more effective when riding on the kerbs of a circuit. At the same time, the increased speed of the hydraulic valves offers a more precise and accurate response in every driving situation.
The 2025 Panigale V4 S will be available from September in a single colour scheme: Ducati Red with Urban Grey frame, black wheels and matte black front wing. Its initial price will start at 37,990 euros.
