Ducati Panigale V4 2018

Ducati Panigale V4 2018

The Panigale has become much more accessible in the 2018 V4 version than before. The engine, in combination with the electronics package, is still not as flawless and sterile as an inline four, but in practice it is a real blessing for Ducatisti - and a positive surprise for riders of other brands. The Panigale V4 also surprised with tolerable riding comfort on the country road and a pleasant level of stability. Progress here was clearly in the right direction. The new V4 is stronger and faster but also easier and more pleasant to ride.

Powerful engine with charisma and great manners

Pleasant upper body position (compared to other supersport bikes)

In the V4 sufficiently dimensioned chassis for the country road

Powerful but not intrusive sound

Good wind protection

Seat gets warm especially in city traffic

engine / clutch seems a little rough in tight hairpin bends.

The KTM 390 Adventure: The all-rounder in this class and a real value-for-money winner. The high-quality electronics package, the aggressive riding position and the powerful single-cylinder make it a pure fun machine that takes inexperienced off-road riders firmly by the hand. No matter what surface you're riding on - the 390 Adventure is simply always fun! Whether you need more KTM Adventure is, of course, the next question... but we will clarify that in another test report.
