The significant lateral flexibility of the Front Frame optimises grip at maximum lean angle, boosting rider feeling with the front and ensuring tighter, faster cornering.

The new Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm allows the rider to transfer all the available torque to the ground, assisted by the DTC optimised with the DVO (Ducati Vehicle Observer), which increases stability when accelerating out of the corners and increases the rider’s confidence and willingness to stay on the throttle.

Taking a corner at 180° essentially means decelerating hard and taking the turn as fast as possible to exit as quickly as possible. The Race e-Cbs with “Post Run” function maximises deceleration during the final phase of corner entry and helps the rider tighten the trajectory to the apex. The chassis and Öhlins Smart EC 3 suspension keep the motorcycle on the ideal line to achieve maximum acceleration.

Along the short straight and through the subsequent long corner, the second-generation Quick Shift with shorter and more precise gearing affords the rider quicker and more efficient shifting, particularly through this section where there are five gear changes in total, all with a tilted bike - three up, including a 1-2 short shift, and two down.

The new tank ergonomics allow the rider to hang off the motorcycle more naturally mid-turn, fully exploiting the new Panigale V4’s ability to trace a tighter trajectory, and be more confident on the throttle out of the turn, trusting in the stability that the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm offers in acceleration.

The aerodynamics development work comes into its own along the long straight. The rider can easily adopt the best riding position, their elbow and knees better aligned thanks to a seat space that is roomier lengthways. Protection guaranteed by the front end will have the rider feeling as if they are in a bubble of calm air, protected from turbulence, all to the benefit of acceleration and top speed.

There are significant gains to be had in terms of braking, corner entry and corner exit, in that the rider can approach faster. The Race eCBS allows for later braking, the bike always stable, and the rider can be back on the throttle when the bike is still at an angle thanks to the connection between front and rear that the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm offers.

The reduced lateral stiffness of the Front Frame makes for better entry speed and corner speed. Out of the turns, the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm really comes into its own, effectively transferring torque to the ground.
