Experience the Thrill of Racing with Ducati's New 2023 Panigale V4 R

Ducati's new 2023 Panigale V4 R is a motorcycle that truly pushes the boundaries of racing technology. 
With a maximum engine speed of 16,500 rpm in sixth gear, a maximum power output of 218 hp, and technical solutions borrowed from MotoGP and WorldSBK Championship bikes, the Panigale V4 R is the closest production model to a competition bike that Ducati has ever produced.

One of the standout features of the Panigale V4 R is its use of "gun drilled" titanium connecting rods and pistons with DLC surface treatment. 
These high-performance components, combined with new piston geometry and an aggressive intake cam profile, give the V4 R exceptional power and reliability.
Additionally, the adoption of the same gear ratio used by World Superbike bikes, along with a new lighter dry clutch, further enhances the V4 R's track performance.

Electronic improvements also play a key role in the V4 R's performance on the track. The expansion and evolution of the Power Modes, the new Track Evo display on the dashboard, and dedicated engine maps for each individual gear all contribute to the V4 R's greater effectiveness. 
Additionally, refinements to the DTC and Ride By Wire throttle system, as well as the Engine Brake Control EVO 2 and updated cooling fan control, further improve the V4 R's track capabilities.

The Panigale V4 R's 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R engine is a true powerhouse, capable of reaching 218 hp at 15,500 rpm and delivering a maximum power output of 237 hp with a non-homologated racing exhaust. 
With its top speed of 16,500 rpm in sixth gear, the Desmosedici Stradale R is one of the most impressive engines in the supersport range.

The Panigale V4 R's chassis follows the evolutionary path of the Panigale V4/V4 S, with fully mechanical suspension adjustment and an Öhlins NPX25/30 pressurized fork that increases travel by 5 mm. 
The Öhlins TTX36 shock absorber and a standard swingarm pivot adjustment to the +1 position also contribute to the V4 R's improved nimbleness and grip on the track.

Aerodynamic efficiency has also been improved on the Panigale V4 R, with a revised aerodynamic package featuring more compact and thinner two-element wings (main + flap) that provide the same aerodynamic load as their predecessors while being 40% and 50% smaller, respectively.

Overall, the Ducati 2023 Panigale V4 R is a motorcycle that truly embodies the pure racing spirit. 
With its advanced technical solutions and exceptional power and performance, it is the perfect bike for track days and the ultimate expression of Ducati's commitment to racing excellence.
