Lighter, faster Ducati Panigale V4 revealed for 2025

Ducati has revealed a new Panigale V4 that is lighter, faster, and more high-tech.

The new 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 boasts an improved power-to-weight ratio, updated aerodynamics, and MotoGP-inspired technology.

Expected to arrive in Australia in November, the new Panigale V4 checks in at $38,800 ride away. The high-spec V4 S version is $49,300 ride away.

Still powered by the 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, the new 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 sees horsepower increased to 216hp at 13,500rpm, while peak torque sits at 120Nm at 11,250rpm.  

The new bike also benefits from upgraded aerodynamics developed by the firm’s Centro Stile arm. The designers were inspired by the legendary Ducati 916.

The chassis was developed in accordance with the wishes of the Ducati Corse race team, with new stiffness targets resulting in a modified front frame, and a new double-sided swingarm.

According to Ducati, the new Panigale V4 is the first motorcycle in the world to be equipped with Brembo’s HypureTM front brake callipers, while the bike also debuts the Bosch Race eCBS which helps riders replicate professional braking techniques.

Another new tech feature is the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO), which works with the IMU to enhance the electronic features of the bike, including traction control, wheelie control, and launch control.

Also aiding the electronic features is a completely new 6.9-inch MotoGP-inspired dashboard that includes ‘g-meter’, power and torque, and lean angle readouts.

All the data can be recorded and analysed using external software to help riders perfect their on-track performance.
