The 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 has been revealed, sending Ducatistis into a frenzy. Us included.

As with each revision, Ducati has thrown everything into this one, sans the Desmosedici GP engine. The list eye-watering long and some of these features require full articles to be written for each of them, so we have summed it up into a list of 5 new things.

1. New styling

• The 2025 Ducati Panigale V4’s design was inspired by the subliminal and world-conquering Ducati 916.

• They then added new aerodynamic and ergonomic solutions derived from the Desmosedici GP.
• A new central air intake hidden under the chin, and the seat is wider and longer to provide more room for the rider.

• The new fairing reduces aerodynamic resistance by 4% and keeps the rider in a bubble of calm air.
• The wings are double-profiled and provides the same amount of downforce as the previous model’s.

• The mudguard’s shape has also been revised to provide better cooling air to the oil cooler.

2. New ergonomics

3. New chassis

• Franceso Bagnaia set a lap time of 1m35.8s on a Panigale V4 during the Race of Champions at Misano in 2022, which was only exactly 4 seconds slower than the 1m31.8s on his Desmosedici GP.

• Ducati Corse requested new stiffness targets for the frame and swingarm.
• So, Ducati’s engineers revised the frame’s lateral stiffness to maintain grip at lean angles now over 60°(!).

• It is also lighter at 3.47kg compared to the previous 4.2kg.
• This revised frame is mated with a new forged double-sided swingarm dubbed the Ducati Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm.

• The swingarm reduces lateral stiffness by 37% and is 2.7kg lighter than the previous single-sided version.
• The V4 S receives forged aluminium alloy wheels that weigh only 2.95kg for the front and 4.15kg for the rear.

• Third generation electronically controlled Öhlins NPX/TTX suspensions of the Panigale V4 S.
• The new 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 is the first motorcycle to be equipped with the new Brembo HypureTM front brake callipers. They are lighter by 60 grams per pair.

• Another important world premiere is the Race eCBS system, developed by Bosch in collaboration with Ducati. This system needs an entire article dedicated to it!

4. Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO)

• The system simulates the input of over 70 sensors, according to electronic control strategies.

• The 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 is equipped with the complete package of electronic controls: Ducati Traction Control DVO, Ducati Slide Control, Ducati Wheelie Control DVO, Ducati Power Launch DVO, Engine Brake Control and Ducati Quick Shift 2.0.
• The DQS 2.0 system uses a strategy based solely on the angular position sensor of the gear drum, thus being able to use a gear shift rod without microswitches.

5. MotoGP dashboard

• A completely new 6.9-inch dashboard placed in such a way it does not interfere with the rider’s vision.

• The protective glass uses Optical Bonding technology to ensure optimal readability on a black background even during the day.
• New Track display on the dashboard to display parameters such as g-Meter, Power & Torque, Lean Angle.

• The Info Mode Track uses the DDL data acquisition system which utilised GPS and developed together with specialist 2D.

In a nutshell

These are just the main points for the new 2025 Ducati Panigale V4. We shall delve into each point soon, so stay tuned!
