Fresh changes for 2022 Ducati Panigale V4

An improved Ducati Panigale V4 range will arrive in 2022, with the Italian firm’s flagship sports bike undergoing key changes to improve performance.

The 2022 Panigale V4 features aerodynamic changes, with engineers tinkering with the fairing and integrating more compact double-profile design wings. Ergonomics have also been altered, with a flatter seat and a new tank shape allowing the rider more comfort and freedom of movement.

Ducati has also made changes to the engine, with the 1103cc four-cylinder Desmosedici Stradale now meeting Euro5 regulations. The internal changes result in a slight increase in horsepower, while the bike also produces 80 per cent of maximum torque from 6000rpm.

Other key changes for 2022 include a revised chassis, improved electronics (including a new Track Evo mode), and some subtle styling updates.

Topping the V4 range is the Panigale V4 S, which is equipped with a new Ohlins NPX 25/30 electronically controlled for and an Ohlins TTX36 rear shock, as well as an Ohlins steering damper.

The new V4 S is also equipped with 3-spoke forged aluminium alloy wheels, Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres, and a Brembo Stylema braking components.

Both variants are available in the classic Ducati Red colour scheme, and there is also a wide range of accessories and apparel available to customers. Both models will be available in Australia and New Zealand from February 2022. The Panigale V4 will have an Australian ride away price of $34,000, while the Panigale V4 S will check in at $43,600 ride away.
