Ducati Panigale V4 S 2026

Ducati Panigale V4 S 2026

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+

Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 2026

Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 2026

The Aprilia RSV4 Factory 2025 is not a completely new bike, but a consistent evolution. Fine-tuned electronics, revised controls and the new Brembo brakes are the biggest innovations. Otherwise, it remains an uncompromising superbike with 220 Horsepower, precise suspension and a ride feel that guarantees goosebumps. In short: the RSV4 Factory 2025 is not a bike for everyone, but a dream for enthusiasts. A bike that demands respect - and offers an incomparable riding experience in return.

Very well tuned engine, which is not only capable of race tracks but also country roads

very good electronic suspension, which can be easily adjusted via the new display

wonderful feeling for the front wheel

good seating position, if you are not significantly taller than 1.85 metres

brakes very well dosed and powerful in bite

still good Aprilia V4 sound, despite Euro5+

Rather lengthy standard gear ratio

clutch lever not adjustable
