Chassis

The continuous pursuit of heightened performance, that can be achieved by an increasing number of riders with less physical and mental effort, has led to significant development of the chassis for the Panigale V4, the result of experience acquired in MotoGP and Superbike.

FORK Ducati Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm
The new Ducati Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm perfectly marries aesthetics and functionality. It reduces lateral stiffness by 37% with respect to the previous single-sided swingarm. A complex, sophisticated and elegant structure that offers the same sense of connection between the front and rear axle as the Desmosedici GP. This, in addition to greater mechanical grip, greater precision when holding the line, and increased stability in acceleration.
FRONT FRAME MotoGP-derived Front Frame
The new Panigale V4 uses a “Front Frame” developed as a result of Ducati Corse experience in MotoGP. Lateral stiffness is reduced by 40%, while longitudinal stiffness remains unchanged. The weight of the component drops by 17%. The increased flexibility improves front feeling through the turns, better exploiting the tyres. As a result, the rider can turn the bike into the corners more easily, naturally holding the line and cornering faster.
chain tensioners Monolithic chain tensioners
The Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm is equipped with monolithic chain tensioners like those used in MotoGP. The adjusters allow rapid and millimetric adjustment of the chain tension, but above all, they keep the rear wheel in place during disassembly and reassembly, allowing the wheel to be changed with the same speed as that required on the racing fields. The left side tensioner is made in milled aluminium to withstand the loads resulting from chain tension.
SUSPENSIONS Rear suspension inspired by the Desmosedici GP
The rear suspension of the Panigale V4 has always been based on a framework inspired by the Desmosedici GP. The new design includes the single pull-rod solution, which allows for a reduction in shock length and an overall weight saving of roughly 600 g. The suspension is mounted on bearings, which replace the sliding bushings of the previous model, reducing friction and play for a back end that better absorbs the bumps and maximises mechanical grip.
BRAKE CALIPERS New Brembo Hypure™ calipers
The Panigale V4 range mounts brand-new Brembo Hypure™ monobloc calipers, an evolution of the already high-performance Stylema™. The Hypure™ calipers each weigh 30 grams less than the Stylema™ thanks to an innovative asymmetric design, without compromising stiffness. Thanks to a new design for the pad fixing system, Hypure™ reduces residual torque absorption - the sliding of the pads on the disc when no force is applied to the lever - by up to 15%, limiting consumption and polluting emissions. Furthermore, thanks to advanced heat exchange capabilities, the caliper releases up to 4% more heat, ensuring more consistent braking performance and giving the rider greater confidence, lap after lap.
WHEELS Beautifully performing forged wheels
The Panigale V4 S is equipped with forged aluminium alloy wheels produced according to a Ducati design. The tangential 5-spoke design inspired by that of the Desmosedici GP makes for a 2.17 kg weight saving and reduces the moments of inertia by 22% at the front and 23.5% at the rear with respect to the Y-shaped 5-spoke cast aluminium wheels of the Panigale V4.

Inspired by MotoGP.

  

Elegant and efficient, the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm is a solution that further strengthens the connection with the MotoGP world. 

It is created at the request of Ducati Corse so as to fully exploit the increasingly high-performance tyres used in the WorldSBK Championship, which have brought lap times closer to those of MotoGP thanks to advanced performance in braking, cornering and acceleration. 

Harnessing its experience in MotoGP, Ducati Corse has collaborated with Ducati technicians to take a step forward in the design of the frame and its stiffnesses. This, in order to fully exploit the current tyres and make the new Panigale V4 even more competitive on the racetrack.

A combination of aesthetics and functionality

The new Ducati Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm perfectly marries aesthetics and functionality: a complex, sophisticated and elegant structure that stands out among sports bikes for being coupled with an exhaust positioned under the engine.

A sense of compactness and connection

Every Ducati test rider who has contributed to the development of the Panigale V4 has lauded both the compactness and the connection between the front and rear ends.

Redefined stiffness

Lateral stiffness is reduced by 37%, improving the grip at extreme lean angles without impacting the longitudinal stiffness and retaining the precision that Panigale V4 riders have long appreciated.

Intelligent dynamics

Thanks to suspension hardware and software updates, the new Panigale V4 S limits the compromise between road and track setup and offers more precise management during every single riding phase.
Third-generation Öhlins suspension
The Panigale V4 S is equipped with the Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) 3.0 system, based on the Öhlins NPX-30 pressurised fork, Öhlins TTX36 rear shock and Öhlins steering damper. Advanced technology valves extend the range of hydraulic braking adjustment and ensure heightened reactivity and quicker adjustment. This translates into greater comfort when riding on the road as well as better support when riding on track, reducing the compromises in defining setup for different usages.
Programmed for every riding situation.
The new user interface allows for more accurate management of the different riding phases, which makes for greater precision in defining settings for the track. At the same time, new modes designed for road use ensure the suspension is more comfortable when traveling. The new system also introduces the concept of Suspension Modes, with five pre-set configurations of the hydraulic braking reference parameters that can be customised by the rider.
