Panigale V4 Tricolore

Tricolour livery

A tribute to the Italian flag, the livery of the Panigale V4 Tricolore flaunts an aggressive, asymmetric design that highlights the aerodynamic lines of the new generation Panigale. The chequered flag on the lower fairing further emphasises its sports vocation.

Collection-worthy details

The Panigale V4 Tricolore features a billet aluminium steering plate complete with an exclusive touch: the name and identifying number of each bike, which makes every unit unique. On ignition, the dashboard displays a customised animation complete with the bike’s name and identifying number. And the ignition key is characterised by an aluminium insert bearing the bike number. Like all collectible Ducati models, the Panigale V4 Tricolore comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Brembo T-Drive finned discs

The Panigale V4 Tricolore is the first production sports bike to be equipped with Brembo T-Drive finned discs, derived from the racing discs used in WorldSBK at tracks such as Misano, Portimão and Aragon, which are demanding on the brakes. The new discs are designed for professional riders who require greater braking power and a consistently high level of performance when racing or during extended sessions on track. They were used by the Ducati riders during the 2024 edition of the Race of Champions, which ran at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. With increased diameter (338.5 mm) and thickness (6.2 mm), these discs have an increased surface thanks to the brake belt finning, which, when combined with a thickness greater than that of traditional discs, dissipates the heat more effectively and keeps the operating temperature lower for a consistently high level of performance, reducing brake lever travel. The increased diameter ensures more braking torque, so for the same exerted force there is greater deceleration, making for a more efficient system overall. The T layout of the pins between the braking band and bell allows for both radial and axial floating, which helps to improve braking torque transmission, contain the overall weight of the disc, and heighten the resistance to thermomechanical stresses. The new discs are paired with Hypure callipers in a titanium colour, an exclusive colourway for this braking system that makes it immediately recognisable.

PRO front brake package

The new Brembo T-Drive discs are paired with Hypure callipers in a titanium colour, an exclusive shade that ensures the system is immediately recognisable. The callipers are driven by the Brembo MCS 19-21 master cylinder complete with Multiple Click System. This system allows the rider to quickly adjust the wheelbase, choosing between powerful or modular braking depending on the road and weather conditions, their level of sensitivity, and the feeling they have with the bike. The MCS pump is equipped with the Remote Adjuster that can be used to modify the distance of the brake lever. Carbon air ducts for the cooling of the callipers, developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse based on its experience in Superbike, are also available, for track use only.

New carbon fibre wheels

The Panigale V4 Tricolore is equipped with new carbon fibre five-spoke wheels, designed to maximise performance and versatility. These wheels suit a two-seater configuration and offer significant benefits with respect to forged wheels, reducing the weight by 0.950 kg and lowering the moment of inertia by 12% at the front and by 19% at the rear. As a result, the new wheels ensure greater agility in the changes of direction, limiting the effort required while riding and increasing the ability to hold the line when applying torque, improving the overall riding experience. In combination with the new T-Drive discs, they also help offset the increased weight.

Carbon fibre components

As well as carbon fibre wheels, the Panigale V4 Tricolore features a series of other components that enhance the racing look. The front and rear mudguards for example, as well as the exhaust heat shield and protectors for the swing-arm and alternator cover. An open dry clutch cover and air ducts for the cooling of the front callipers are also available, for track use only.

Dry clutch

A distinctive element of Ducati race bikes, the dry clutch ensures effective anti-hopping function even during aggressive shifting, and greater smoothness during off-throttle riding phases, such as corner entry. This clutch is compatible with Ducati Corse Performance Oil Powered by Shell Advance, for an additional boost in engine performance.

Adjustable aluminium footpegs

The adjustable billet aluminium footpegs ensure the correct ergonomics for the legs and, depending on the position, allow for optimisation of the bike’s lean angle. They use the DQS 2.0 as standard, which can be setup with a traditional or race configuration.
