Ducati PANIGALE V4 R RACING
Ducati presents the new Panigale V4 R: the bike that adopts technical solutions previously reserved for MotoGP and WorldSBK Championship. The closest production model to a competition bike ever.
240.5 hp.16.500 rpm. This is Racing
The closest production model to a competition bike ever.
Pure racing spirit
The road version of the Panigale V4 R undergoes significant development, upgrading in all areas to be faster on the track and even more race-oriented.
Aerodynamic
The aerodynamic package has been revised with a view to greater efficiency: the new two-element wings (main + flap) guarantee the same aerodynamic load, but are more compact and thinner (respectively by 40% and 50%).
A heart beating 16,500 rpm
The heart of the Panigale V4 R is the new 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R, an engine capable of reaching a maximum engine speed of 16,500 rpm in sixth gear (16,000 in the other ratios) and delivering a maximum power of 218 hp at 15,500 rpm (Euro-5 compliant*), absolute benchmark values in the panorama of supersports bikes of the same displacement. *Only in countries where Euro 5 applies
Improved track-feeling
To increase nimbleness, rider feeling and grip, the chassis follows the evolutionary direction traced by the Panigale V4/V4 S with the 2022 model, while maintaining fully mechanical suspension adjustment. At the front, the Öhlins NPX25/30 pressurized fork increases its travel by 5 mm compared to the previous "R". This technical solution, combined with an Öhlins TTX36 shock absorber and a standard adjustment of the swingarm pivot to the +1 position, increases the rear height by 20 mm. In this way, a higher centre of gravity is achieved and therefore greater nimbleness in corner entry and changes of direction.
Race-oriented electronics
The greater effectiveness of the new Panigale V4 R in circuit use is also obtained thanks to the adoption of all the electronic evolutions already introduced on the Panigale V4 '22 and '23, with the expansion and evolution of the Power Modes, new “Track Evo” display on the dashboard, engine maps with calibration dedicated to each single gear, refinements to the Ducati Traction Control and the Ride By Wire system, but also the adoption of the Engine Brake Control EVO 2 strategy, the new strategy for the DQS and the cooling fan control update.

PCP Representative Example based on a new Hypermotard V2 in Ducati Red with an annual mileage of 3,000
| Cash Price | Deposit | Total Amount of Credit | Agreement Duration | 36 Monthly Repayments of | Optional Final Repayment* | Total Amount Payable | Interest Rate (Fixed) | Representative APR |

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) explained:
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) can help you to buy your dream Ducati with lower monthly repayments than a Hire Purchase (HP) product as a large proportion of the amount you repay is deferred into an optional final repayment. You will pay more interest on a PCP agreement than a HP agreement for the same loan amount, term and Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APR) as your balance reduces more slowly due to the optional final repayment.
You will decide an initial deposit, term and how many miles you’ll ride each year.
The monthly repayment amount and the optional final repayment amount will be calculated based on the anticipated value of the Ducati at the end of the agreement.
At the end of your agreement, you have three options; part exchange your Ducati (new agreements, subject to status), return the Ducati (return conditions apply), or pay the option final repayment and own the Ducati.
Model exclusions apply. Credit is subject to status and is only available to UK residents aged 18 and over. This finance offer is only available through Ducati Financial Services which is a trading style of Black Horse Ltd, St. William House, Tresillian Terrace, Cardiff CF10 5BH. The Cash Price shown above includes 1st registration fee and road fund licence. With Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) you have the option after you have paid all of the regular monthly repayments to:
(1) Return the motorcycle and not pay the Optional Final Repayment. In this example if the motorcycle has exceeded 9,250 miles, a charge of 7.2p (including VAT at 20%) will apply per excess mile. If the motorcycle is in good condition (fair wear and tear accepted) and has not exceeded 9,250 miles you will have nothing further to pay. (2) Pay the Optional Final Repayment to own the motorcycle or (3) Part exchange the motorcycle subject to settlement of your existing finance agreement; new finance agreements are subject to status.
