2027 Ducati Panigale V4 R R Livery

2027 Ducati Panigale V4 R R LiveryRacing is just the beginningThe latest evolution of a legendary saga that epitomizes Ducati sports attitude. Developed to respect the WorldSBK championship regulation, the new Panigale V4 R embodies the success achieved by Ducati in MotoGP and Superbike. Powered by the 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale, it is the first bike homologated for road use to feature Corner Sidepods and the Ducati Racing Gearbox with Ducati Neutral Lock (DNL).Race-inspired liveryThe colour scheme relies on the racing attitude evoked by Ducati Red, for which the “R” bikes competing in WorldSBK have long stood out.AerodynamicsBorn in the wind tunnel, developed by the Ducati Corse aerodynamics department. Delve into the aerodynamic details of the Panigale V4 R.Built for the challengeThe Panigale V4 R flaunts the very best of racing technology applied to a homologated sports bike, the result of Ducati success in MotoGP and Superbike. This bike gives access to technical solutions that were previously only available to official Ducati riders.Features may include:Desmosedici Stradale R: derived from MotoGPDesigned to respect WorldSBK specifications, the 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R delivers 208.4 hp at 13,250 rpm, becoming 239 hp at 15,570 rpm* thanks to the racing exhaust and Shell Performance Oil by Ducati Corse. The closest Ducati road-going engine to that of the DesmosediciGP, boasts torque and power curves that are higher across the entire delivery range. **The Panigale V4 R can reach 239 hp in closed-course configuration with the combination of the complete racing exhaust and dedicated Shell Oil. The racing exhaust is intended for vehicles used only in closed-course circuits. Operation on public roads is prohibited by law.The only road bike with Racing Gearbox and Neutral LockThe new Panigale V4 R is the first homologated sports bike to feature a race-style gear pattern. The Ducati Racing Gearbox (DRG) sees neutral positioned beneath first gear, rather than between first and second, to ensure sufficient engine brake in the final and most delicate phase of braking when entering a first gear corner. The absence of neutral between first and second also ensures quicker, smoother and more repeatable shifting between these two gears with respect to a gearbox with road configuration. To prevent accidental downshifting from first to neutral, the gearbox features the patented Ducati Neutral Lock (DNL), which can be deactivated using the dedicated lever on the right semi-handlebar. To engage neutral, the rider must carry out the same actions as official riders in MotoGP and Superbike.The first homologated bike with Corner SidepodsDeveloped by Ducati Corse, the aerodynamics of the Panigale V4 R introduce Corner Sidepods for the first time on a sports bike homologated for road use. Corner Sidepods allow the rider to corner at higher speeds and trace a tighter, more precise line. Designed to intervene at extreme lean angles, Corner Sidepods generate an aerodynamic-like system of forces that makes for higher cornering speeds and lower lap times. In addition, the design of new winglets, with a larger surface area, increases the vertical load by 25% with respect to the previous generation.Completely redesigned chassisThe new Panigale V4 R retains the frame and swingarm design of the Panigale V4. The Front Frame sees a 40% reduction in lateral stiffness with respect to that of the previous Panigale V4 R. The Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm, strongly supported by Ducati Corse, ensures greater stability in acceleration. A complex, sophisticated, and elegant structure that provides the same sense of connection between front and rear.
