Ducati is back with a second-generation Panigale V4 and comes armed with four models: the base Panigale V4, the more track-focused Panigale V4 S. The street-fighter influenced Panigale V4 Speciale or SP, and the track-focused special edition Panigale V4 S Anniversario.
While Ducati hasn’t ratified a 2019 World Superbike Championship (WSBK) effort, we know that they’re hard at work developing the Panigale V4 R.
On paper, the Panigale V4 is a stunner. Ducati claims a peak output of 214 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and a torque of 12.6 Kgm at 10,000 rpm.
These are figures that easily surpass rival models from KTM and BMW Motorrad.
The Panigale V4 isn’t just the most potent Ducati superbike ever. It’s also one of the most advanced with its Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). And extensive ride-by-wire technology that would make any motorcycle manufacturer jealous.
However, the recent emission norms doesnt allow the V4 to be more open in terms of sound. But then this void is filled by Ducati’s long term exhaust partner Termignoni who has unveiled the new exhaust 4 Uscite.
About the exhaust
The 4 Uscite system is Termignoni’s best-sounding exhaust for the Panigale V4. Offering a distinct but classy sound, it has a carbon end cap. And sleeve for a clean look and a whole sleeve made from titanium to provide resistance to high temperatures that could affect steel.
