Establishing dominance on two wheels, Ducati continues to lead the way in motorcycle innovation with a fleet of models prepped to take on any road, track, or off-road environment. The Bologna-based manufacturer is known for creating superbikes that incorporate state-of-the-art performance, design, and technology. As the brand highlights its product lineup through the Ducati World Première web series, it proudly debuts the all-new Panigale V4 R during the fourth episode. The Ducati Panigale V4 R adopts many of its new features and statistics from its MotoGP motorcycle.While Ducati has already perfected the overall design of the Panigale, the V4 R includes small updates like an increased 4.5-gallon aluminum gas tank. Its MotoGP-inspired livery also features new carbon wings and a racing number, which will match the production number of each limited-edition chassis that leaves the factory. Magnesium rims provide additional weight reduction, shaving a further 1.5 lb (-10%) compared to the already light-forged original factory rims.
