Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Panigale V4 R 2026

The Ducati Panigale V4 R is not a normal supersport bike, but a road-legal racing bike. Its greatest strength lies in the fact that it does not seem uncontrollable despite its almost absurd power. The engine, chassis, aerodynamics, brakes and electronics interlock so precisely that the V4 R remains extremely fast but surprisingly confidence-inspiring to ride. It is clearly oversized for the country road, but is a fascinatingly sharp tool on the race track.

brute engine power with up to 235 or 239 Horsepower in racing configuration

revvy 998 cubic centimetre V4 with real racing character

significantly better rideability and more accessible than its predecessor

strong chassis feedback and lots of confidence on corner entry

extremely effective Brembo-Hypure brake system

very sophisticated electronics with DVO, traction control, slide control and Race-eCBS

racing transmission with neutral below first gear

elaborate aerodynamics with winglets and corner sidepods

high-quality Öhlins suspension components

very close to Superbike World Championship technology

Massively oversized for the road

high physical and riding demands

enormous power without electronics potentially intimidating
