Ducati has launched the 2025 Panigale V4 in India, with an introductory price of Rs 29.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the standard variant. The higher-spec Panigale V4S variant has been introduced at a starting price of Rs 36.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
The primary difference between the two variants lies in their suspension setup. The standard V4 variant is equipped with fully adjustable 43 mm Showa BPF forks at the front, paired with a fully adjustable Sachs monoshock at the rear. In contrast, the V4S variant boasts premium Ohlins NPX front forks and an Ohlins TTX36 rear shock, enhancing ride dynamics and adjustability.
Additionally, the V4S variant is 4kg lighter than the standard V4, thanks to its forged aluminium wheels. Both variants ride on Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 compound tyres, with sizes measuring 120/70-ZR17 at the front and 200/60-ZR17 at the rear.
Braking duties are handled the all-new Hypure caliper from Brembo. The Panigale V4 also features a redesigned headlamp cluster, while the seat has been widened 50 mm and lengthened 35 mm.
In terms of electronics, the Panigale V4 boasts an impressive array of features, including:
- Traction control
- Slide control
- Wheelie control
- Selectable ride modes
- Four power modes: Full, High, Medium, and Low
The bike’s instrumentation has also been updated, with a newly designed 6.9-inch TFT display that offers better visibility in bright lighting conditions.
Powering the Ducati Panigale V4 is a 1,103 cc Stradale four-cylinder engine, compliant with Euro5+ emission norms. This engine produces 216 hp and 120 Nm of torque at its maximum output. The bike features a revamped cooling system, consisting of oil and water radiators, and is paired with a six-speed gearbox equipped with a quick-shifter.
With its impressive performance, advanced electronics, and premium features, the Ducati Panigale V4 is poised to dominate the Indian superbike market.
