Go faster and easier with the updated 2020 Ducati Panigale V4
MANILA: ‘The best-selling super sports bike in the world’ - that’s what the Ducati Panigale V4 stands for. It takes courage to deviate from the usual and successful inline engines and switch to V4s. Perhaps, only the Italians can do it. Well, they have done it again. Ducati has updated its Panigale V4 for the year 2020 and made going faster, easier.
The 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 gets a new aerodynamic package that includes aerofoils, Plexiglas screen, nose fairing and larger lateral fairings, more efficient lateral vents for the radiator. All this to improve the overall stability of the bike and enhance the rider’s confidence. This is the same package which was previously made available only with the Panigale V4 R.
Since the new Panigale V4 is now capable of going faster, Ducati also revised the frame by making it stiffer than before. This would give the rider a better front-end feel even at extreme lean angles which can be easily achieved on the Panigale V4.
The 2020 Panigale V4 also gets Ducati’s new ‘predictive’ traction control system (DTC) which allows the rider to have higher corner-exit speeds. Ducati also tinkered with the quick-shifter (DQS up/down) and has reduced the shifting times above 10,000 rpm which boosted the shift stability during aggressive acceleration and cornering. It also features specially-developed Ride by Wire system mappings with several torque delivery control logics.
Powering the new Panigale V4 is the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale, MotoGP-derived 90-degree, V4 engine with one-of-a-kind engine reverse-rotating crankshaft and Twin Pulse firing order. It produces a whopping 214 bhp at 13,000 rpm and 126 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm.
In 2019, Ducati sold over 53,000 motorcycles worldwide and Panigale had a huge contribution in that figure. No wonder we now have the updated 2020 Panigale V4 - improved, easier, more intuitive, less tiring and even faster - than its previous model.
