Ducati unveiled the Panigale V4 S in the new fifth episode of their web series. The video is one of many marketing products the company has produced to introduce the latest version of their flagship superbike.
They have officially published an all-new digital video unveils its technical specifications. And strengths to emphasize its unusual personality.
- Ducati redefines V4 with Desmosedici Stradale
- In Europe 2021 Aprilia Tuono and Tuono Factory
- What makes Duacti Panigale V4 2021 more ruthless?
The company presents a symbolic and evocative film dedicated to the new Panigale V4 S. Which emphasizes the presence of the red side of the company logo on multiple occasions.
The bike is shown from front to rear at the end of the video.With a second view underlining the stylish lines (in a more powerful version) of this sporty motorcycle.
Ducati took the revolution initiated with the Panigale V-twin to new heights.Applying innovations and discoveries achieved in years of MotoGP racing experience to its superbike line.
With the new Panigale V4 S, Ducati has redefined agility, cornering. And traction control performance standards.
The improvement affects every aspect of the bike: aerodynamics, engine, chassis, ergonomics, and electronics.
The result is a bike is even faster on the track and at the same time more. And more intuitive and less tiring.Which is as performing in the hands of the professional rider as it is rewarding for an amateur.
Ducati’s new goal for the premier super sports bike Panigale V4 S is to make the weight as low as possible and to ensure behaviour on the track.
Aerodynamics and Cooling
In this sense, the latest Ducati motorcycle is called V4 S. it is a new generation of Superbike described as “lightest, fastest, most advanced and most potent Ducati motorcycle ‘.
The Panigale V4 ’22 uses a new 2-element wing configuration, main and flap. Conceptually similar to that of a rear wing of a Formula One car. The new wings are 40% more compact and 50% thinner than the previous model while still guaranteeing the same vertical load, up to 37 kg at 300 km / h.
The engineers and technicians of Ducati have worked hard over the past few months. And they have managed to put an efficient cooling system.
Ducati engineers have redesigned the lower half-fairing to enhance the heat dissipation of the oil cooler. With the addition of side extractors and others located below in part facing the ground.
The former, designed for use in a racing configuration, increase the average crossing speed of the oil cooler by 6% and are positioned in such a way as to comply with the technical standards for SBK competitions.
Powerplant
The new Ducati Panigale V4 S represents the highest expression of excellence.Derived from a deep passion for innovation. Thanks to the unprecedented technical package it means.A bike is ready to face any challenge on the track and reveal its potential as a great performer in all conditions.
All this is possible thanks to the heart of the bike – the 1,103 cm² Desmosedici Stradale engine.With a lot of torque right from low revs and able to unleash the racing soul of the bike on the circuit.
The Desmosedici Stradale and the engine ECU for 2022 evolve with dedicated technical interventions. Allow you to increase power, track performance and improve throttle response.
The Desmosedici Stradale in the Euro 5 version delivers 215.5 HP hours at 13,000 rpm, with a power increase of 1.5 HP compared to the previous version. Which rises to 2.5 HP above the peak of maximum power at 14,500 rpm /minute.
The engine also delivers a torque of 123.6 Nm (12.6 kgm) at 9,500 rpm.And already from 6,000 rpm.It provides 80% of the maximum torque available.
A new Ride by Wire map management system has been developed with dedicated calibration for each of the six gears. Ensuring the rider always obtains the optimum thrust every time the throttle gets opened.
The Panigale V4 2022 arrives with the 1,103 cm³ Desmosedici Stradale. A 90 ° V4 (rotated backwards by 42 °) with a Desmodromic distribution derived from MotoGP. Unique in its kind for the counter-rotating crankshaft and the order of the fires. “Twin Pulse”.
Chassis
The racing character of the Panigale V4 2022 is also evident in the most critical data for a sports car, the weight. The new Panigale V4 has a curb weight of 195.5 kg for the “S” version.
Every element of the Chassis conceives and designs with weight reduction in mind. Starting with the Chassis, an aluminium “Front-Frame”. Uses the Desmosedici Stradale engine with a load-bearing function.
The Chassis is completed by the single-sided aluminium swingarm. The lightweight front subframe made of magnesium and the seat post in shell-cast aluminium.
The S version of the 2022 model is equipped with a new Öhlins NPX25 / 30 pressurized fork with event-based electronic control uses a pressurized cartridge damping system derived from Öhlins racing forks. Which minimizes the risk of fluid cavitation.
Hydraulic compared to a traditional design. The result is better braking support and. At the same time, better absorption of bumps, which translates into a more excellent driving feeling for the driver.
The new fork has a stroke of 125 mm, increased by 5 mm compared tofitted to the Panigale 2021. The more significant travel allows for softer settings (the stiffness of the springs has risen from 10 to 9.5 N / mm).
Improving the ability to “copy” the asphalt and grip in critical conditions and is also able to offer small plus of running increases the feeling in the most demanding braking. Where it always maintains a little margin without reaching the bottom buffer race.
The new fork integrates an event-based control system with the Öhlins TTX36 mono-shock. And the Öhlins steering damper.
This system offers the driver the possibility of customizing the intensity of the suspension intervention according to the individual driving events (braking, cornering, acceleration). And modifying the operating parameters of the individual hardware components.
For the rider, this means having access to a higher level of control over the bike’s dynamics for the benefit of road safety and lap times on the track.
Colour
Ducati Red with Dark Gray frame and black rims will cost you around Euro 29,990 ($34,110).
On-road bikes, the crankshaft turns in the same direction as the wheels; in MotoGP.On the other hand, the counter-rotating crankshaft that rotates in the opposite direction is widespread. The Desmosedici Stradale borrows from the premier class. This technical solution allows you to compensate for part of the gyroscopic effect produced by the wheels. You are making the bike more agile when changing direction. 
The geometry of the shaft, combined with the V-shaped layout of the engine. Allows for a particular firing order: the so-called “Twin Pulse”. The peculiarity lies in the close ignition of the two cylinders on the left side and then those on the right side of the bike, respectively. In the distribution diagram, the ignitions are therefore placed at 0 °, 90 °, 290 ° and 380 °. This particular firing order gives the V4 a sound very similar to that of the Desmosedici MotoGP. 
The Desmosedici Stradale is designed around the Desmodromic system. A feature that contributes to making Ducati the fastest prototype in the premier class of the World Championship
