Ducati V4 Speciale

The Ducati Panigale V4 Speciale tips the scales at 164kg dry – that’s a full 10kg (22 lbs) lighter than the base model Panigale V4. Even more power with this installed Akrapovic dual exhaust.

The philosophy of this special design is to embody total integration of engine, chassis and rider. The Panigale V4 engine is the only one in the sports segment with a 90 degree configuration. It’s also the only engine to use technology such as the counter-rotating crankshaft and twin pulse ignition.

These solutions have a positive impact on bike dynamics, making it more agile during changes of direction, fast and stable on the straight and ensuring easier out-of-the-corner torque handling. The Riding Modes allow the rider to choose from three different factory-set riding styles, perfectly adapting the Panigale’s behaviour to the rider’s, to the track type, and to environmental conditions.

Each Riding Mode is programmed to instantly change the engine’s character, electronic control parameters and also the suspension set-up. Each rider can customise his or her riding style and later restore Ducati’s factory settings.
