2024 DUCATI Panigale V4 S

Hot on the heels of a 2021 update, Ducati has made performance enhancements to the already impressive Panigale line. The seat and tank are redesigned to lower the energy needed to throw around your body English along with new bodywork that improve aesthetics. New suspension, electronics and instrumentation join with a new gearbox. Changes within the gearbox and electronic engine controls on the Ducati Panigale V4S contribute to the overall improvements over the 2021 model. First, second, and sixth gear now have a longer gear ratio than before to improve speed at the top end of the rev range. Tuned torque-management electronics join with four new Power Mode profiles for extra safety and flexibility. The Power Modes come in Full, High, Medium, and Low settings, the latter of which actually gimps the engine and limits output to 150 horsepower tops. Riding Modes join with Ducati’s Traction-/Slide-/Wheelie-/Engine-Brake controls to complete the safety electronics. The ride-control electronics include an up-and-down Quick Shift feature and a Power Launch system that help you nail your holeshot and quickly work your way through the range with no missed shifts. Power comes from the Desmosedici Stradale 90-degree V4 engine to the tune of 210 horsepower at 12,500 rpm with 90.6 pound-feet of torque at 11 grand even. Eighty-percent of the overall grunt is available at a relatively low 6,000 rpm, so you can count on tractable power fairly early on.
