‘You will feel like you’re a track hero’

New aero, clever mapping, revised gearbox ratios, refined rider aids, chassis upgrades and new ergonomics all work in harmony to make the new Panigale V4 S friendlier on track. It won’t just be the pros that can squeeze every ounce out of the Ducati now, it’s a superbike for mere mortals, too. It does exactly what you ask with little protest, but that presents you with another problem: trying to hang on under the brutal force of braking, accelerating and cornering. Before it was Panigale for show and everything else for go, but now it’s the superbike to make you look a hero.
