Performance upgrades
Enhanced engine and chassis for 2025 models
The 2025 Panigale V4 series continues to use the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, now Euro 5+ compliant. This powertrain produces an output of 216hp at 13,500rpm and a peak torque of 120.9Nm at 11,250rpm. The new models also get a revamped chassis with an all-new rear end and a conventional swingarm for the first time since the iconic Ducati916. The bikes also offer customizable traction control, wheelie control, launch control, bi-directional quickshifter as well as ABS among other features.
Suspension and tires
Advanced suspension and tire features
The 2025 Panigale V4 series comes with a fully adjustable Showa suspension, while the higher-spec V4S model features Ohlins electronic suspension. The new models offer Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 tires and Brembo's Hypure caliper, which provides better heat dissipation during repeated hard use. The premium bikes also feature an updated electronics suite, including a new 6.9-inch TFT dash with Race eCBS. This system monitors the bike's lean angle, throttle position, and rear load to apply the rear brake automatically.
