- Ducati Panigale V4 S Carbon and Carbon Pro revealed
- Gets CF components for improved performance
- Could be introduced in Australia and NZ soon
Ducati has revealed two new variants for the Panigale V4S. These new trims, Carbon and Carbon Pro, not only increase agility but also make the bikes lighter.
The Panigale V4S Carbon gets five-spoke carbon fibre rims, carbon fibre winglets, and carbon fibre mudguards. These rims are close to a kilogram lighter than those on the standard Panigale V4S, which get forged rims. Essentially, this reduces inertia and the effort required to steer the motorcycle.
As for the Carbon Pro trim, the Ducati Panigale V4S comes with the same carbon fibre components as the standard Carbon but also gets improved front brakes. Here, the motorcycle gets Brembo T-Drive discs at the front like on the Ducati World Superbike race machines and a new MCS 19.21 front brake pump too. Mechanically, the bike remains the same as the standard Panigale V4S. It gets a 1103cc, V4 motor that offers a ballistic 214bhp at 13,500rpm and 120.9Nm of torque at 11,250rpm.
With Ducati slowly launching the new Panigale across the world, we can expect the brand to introduce it to Australia and New Zealand in its Carbon and Carbon Pro trims by the end of 2025.
