Ducati has launched the 2025 Panigale V4 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 29,99,000, while the V4 S model is priced at Rs 36,50,000, marking a significant update to its superbike lineup. The new model brings together technologies derived from MotoGP, offering riders an experience closer to professional racing.

The bike’s design, ergonomics, and electronics have all been updated, drawing on Ducati's racing department, Ducati Corse, and their MotoGP expertise, the company said.

Bipul Chandra, managing director, Ducati India, said, "The Panigale name is legendary after having ruled the racetracks around the world and we are thrilled to introduce this all-new iteration in India. The demand for high-performance motorcycles is stronger than ever and we see a passionate & evolving community of riders eager to experience the best in the superbike segment at the racetrack."

Design

The seventh-generation Panigale V4 represents a significant shift in design philosophy. The new V4 integrates an aerodynamic design that reduces aerodynamic resistance by 4% and provides better rider protection.

Inspired by the iconic Ducati 916, the Centro Stile Ducati balanced classic aesthetics with MotoGP-derived ergonomics and aerodynamics. The V4 features a horizontal layout reminiscent of MotoGP bikes, a distinctive V-shaped DRL inspired by the 916, a central air intake, and a wider tail for increased rider comfort.

Optimised cooling systems contribute to performance, while the ergonomics have been improved for better rider integration and control.

Specifications

The 2025 Panigale V4 is powered by the Desmosedici Stradale engine, which is derived from Ducati's MotoGP bike. It produces 216 horsepower at 13,500 rpm and 12.3 Kgm of torque at 11,250 rpm.

The chassis has also been updated, with a modified Front Frame and a new double-sided swingarm, the Ducati Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm, designed to be lightweight.

The bike features advanced electronics, including Ducati Traction Control DVO, Ducati Wheelie Control DVO, and Engine Brake Control. The system is enhanced by the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) system. The new 6.9" TFT dashboard with a Track display provides real-time performance data, including lean angle, g-force, and power/torque output.
