Ducati Panigale V4 S 2024

The updates to the Panigale V4 S hit the mark in terms of riding dynamics. At first glance, more stability and better turning seem to be contradictory development goals, but they are combined in the 2025 model, not least thanks to the switch to the double sided swing arm. The new Pani is as fast as an arrow and is now much more suited to hobby racers. But the following still applies: fun costs money - you have to dig deep into your pockets for the S version tested here.

Superb neutral handling with an urge for a tight line

Stability when accelerating, no more stirring

Improved ergonomics, less demanding

Great and innovative Advanced Rider Assistance Systems benefit hobby racers in particular

216 Horsepower despite Euro 5+
