2026 Ducati Panigale V4 R

Racing is just the beginning

The latest evolution of a legendary saga that epitomizes Ducati's 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).

Features may include:

  • The first homologated bike with Corner Sidepods

Developed 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 chassis

The new Panigale V4 R inherits the frame and swingarm from 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.

  • New Öhlins mechanical suspension

The Panigale V4 R adopts professional Öhlins mechanical suspension as opposed to the semi-active suspension of the V4 S. The Öhlins NPX25/30 Ø 43 mm pressurized fork with TiN-treated stanchions is paired with an Öhlins TTX36 shock, complete with hydraulic preload adjuster to facilitate adjustment. The monoshock can be fitted with the rear suspension linear stroke sensor.
