I drove the new panigale v4s today and it's definitely cooler and better than the rsv4 in all areas.Bravo ducati.It's time for RSV4 to retire, it's already old!
Jeremy Burgess maintained back in the day that while working with Ducati and Rossi they, needed a double sided swing arm and that the bike frame was to rigid which they refuse to do. How times have changed finally they have learnt a hard lesson. Foza Ducista's
Does Ducati still offer the claimed 4 bhp gain from the racing oil like they do with the 2024 V4R? If so are we saying the 228 with the race exhaust and then the 4 bhp gain with the race oil would put total bhp at 232, which I believe is what the V4R claimed bhp is?
@itzerisadomeeiot4980 mate you don't know what you are talking about. I own the older version v4 and unless i am wearing leather i get second degree burns on my inner thighs. All other sport bikes get hot but nothing like the panigale. We were hoping that the new bike will fix this problem
I live in Germany.. the Panigale V4 2024’ is my third Panigale I will tell you all something ! If you are a really passionate motorcyclist and ride a Panigale V4 then you won’t mind the heat or anything else. The feeling in indescribable and makes you forget all other problems ❤😊
that Akrapovic race exhaust is $10k. F that with a capital F!!! especially since other companies like Spark SC project Termignoni will probably make one cheaper and better looking than Akras crap
Akrapovic is not crap BUT one third of the price of the base bike just for the exhaust is ridiculous. They should at least offer a sensible price when bought with the bike. You’d want the exhaust when prepping the bike for track use and the cost is excessive.
@@sp00ky1969 ALL Akra exahsut look like crap!!!!!! except for having nice welds theirydesigns are crap!! No one has ever said anything Akrapovic made was a thing of beauty.
@@USAracingYou’re stating your opinion about something entirely subjective (appearance) as fact… That’s silly. You do you though. 👍 My only objection to the Akrapovic is the price once Ducati tax is added (you don’t pay anywhere near that for an Akrapovic for any other bike and I expect you can buy a far larger system for a car from them for less).
Yes but since they are designed with the fairings, it will look like crap unlike the current generation which you could easily remove and the bike looks good.
I love the bike, looks and all, but I'll never own one. Both because I'm done squeezing my 6'2" self onto a compact sport bike, and other things take priority when it comes to spending that much dough. I'm glad you did the tech overview as a voice over ... no one should be expected to rattle off all that info on the fly. I found the tech discussions in the other reviews interesting and informative.
Panigales one of the few road superbikes that are actually roomy for big (tall) riders due to footpegs, etc. New aprillia pretty good too. Some of the Japanese bikes a bit cramped still.
@@paolopuglisi8443 ok...ua-cam.com/video/q0O8Q0x38mI/v-deo.htmlsi=mk2ohurBxyuNzwSd A rematch is definitely needes...can the new ducati Panigale V4 finally beat the K7 GSXR1000
Seems like an amazing bike based on this review. I have mixed feelings looking at the bike. Its a nice design but it looks like a late model Honda CBR that had a mild makeover. Perhaps it needs some Tricolore graphics or model decals.
I dont know why any of you are worrying about this swingarm so much! This is just a street mockup. The race one Pierobon makes will look nothing like it. And will be billet not cheap cast.

Anyone have experience with electronic suspension? I’m curious just how adjustable is it? The low speed compression looks way too soft and the rebound too slow for my style. I can feet the chattering in my teeth. I don’t like front end travel having that much say so in my wheelbase length, I’d rather control that my self. I prefer to use the rear brake control wheelbase. The front traveling like that change’s line drastically when I get on the throttle.
@@sebastianmolina8529 I missed the bit where they said all previous Panigale were crap… Shouldn’t each new bike be better than the last one? Wouldn’t you expect the manufacturer to improve each generation in some way?
@sp00ky1969 Ducati has a lot of haters because a lot of people can't afford to own them so they glaze their japs like a home sports team that hasn't won a game all season. Their team is the best and everyone else sucks. Then all they hear in reviews is praise of how they're one of a kind. And in MotoGP and wsbk they're kind of like the Yankees.
S Model = Bigger profit margins. Less sales, same money or more. Same situation on the Automotive sales sector: Always push the customer towards the more loaded, more expensive trims. Whoever wants a Base model nowadays, needs to seat down at the dealer, check the boxes, order it and wait for it to be built and delivered.
The amount of crap that's going to accumulate in the open parts of that new swingarm will definitely make it outweigh the single sided unit from last model.
Hopefully this New V4S will be faster than the last one that was 2 seconds a lap slower than the 20? yr old GSX R 1000 K5 you tested against - THIS MUST BE SEEN (please)
Yes, but that test was clickbait. 1 test and people are taking it as read that a k5 is superior to a modern panigale?😅 Technically, the 2017 onwards gsxr is superior to the k5 (which was an amazing bike) in all areas and would blitz it on track, yet watch any recent group test and what bikes come out on top? Ducati and bmw. Do some actually believe bikes have not moved on in 20 years? if that was the case, those running in world and domestic superstock and superbike championships across the globe would still use those platforms, they don't.
@@sp00ky1969 of course it was. I'm using the same Title they used on the video - clickbait - (and it still should'nt be 2 sec's a lap faster) and hopefully we'll see the Ducati get its own back
Swing Arm and front-end is huge in the super bike world. The smallest of tweaks are everything in refinement. Systems have to work together and are prohibitively costly to re-create from scratch or a major overhaul. This bike is an absolute thoroughbred. A winner on its own. No need for anything but what comes pro race feedback.
I drove the new panigale v4s today and it's definitely cooler and better than the rsv4 in all areas.Bravo ducati.It's time for RSV4 to retire, it's already old!
I love the parts of videos when Troy shows all the individual components of the bikes.
Love that in helmet camera vision, another highly engaging review guys 💪😎
Thank you Sir.
I appreciate your meticulous detail. 👍 As a two-time Aprilia owner. I am in shock with this Ducati 🤯.

Wow! What a technological tour de force! What more is there to improve in race bike tech?
Great review Troy, thanks.
Thank you. Very interesting. Well done.
Thank you guys for not taking this whole video. A man screaming inside of a motorcycle helmet.
This is brilliance in engineering. Way to go Ducati!

Best looking and sounding bikes ever ❤
I like the longer formate vids.
How is the heat? Does it get very hot like the old version? We need to see some reviews on street as most people will use it like that
better get E-bike than a ducati if youre having a heat problem 😂😂😂
@@itzerisadomeeiot4980It’s a legitimate question if you want to ride through traffic with it.
It’s going to be hot as balls. Until Ducati goes electric, they will all sizzle your ass. This one too.

It’s a very technical circuit. This is why they brought the 2025 V4S there because Ducati knew it could handle it.

There's a company called Vandemon that makes aftermarket exhausts that look almost identical to the akra pipes but for a fraction of the cost.
@@tom30 Yeah everybody knows about the Aussies. But thats just street bling. No one uses their exhaust to race.
What are you running for a camera to get your inside helmet view?
Probably the insta 360 mini go
Looks fantastic
Do the wings come off in case you happen to not like them?
Yes but since they are designed with the fairings, it will look like crap unlike the current generation which you could easily remove and the bike looks good.

24:16 Not only lateral, longitudinal too.
Feel like the front end was a regression from the previous gen. Looks uglier. Imo, of course.
Maybe not “ugly” just different
I just hate that I can not see a visible air intake!!!.
I’m starting to like how aggressive it looks. With carbon and different paint colors, it’s going to be pretty sick.
It's all about what it's spose to b about , lap-time , u can look as mint as u like on the old bike ... at the back of the pac , have fun

The current gen has electronic suspension. Works pretty good.
Does it have cruise control?
Cruise control is an available option. Passenger pegs are also available, rather than being standard.
It's a 2025, not 2024...
He had to make his update every 2 years theory valid lol. I have the 24 model and it is unchanged from the 22

Looks ugly, sucks how they always push the S. Still getting one

Same situation on the Automotive sales sector: Always push the customer towards the more loaded, more expensive trims.
Whoever wants a Base model nowadays, needs to seat down at the dealer, check the boxes, order it and wait for it to be built and delivered.
The base is better for race teams or anyone will modify everything. For normal people it’s cost effective to get the S.
The amount of crap that's going to accumulate in the open parts of that new swingarm will definitely make it outweigh the single sided unit from last model.
Cleaning it will be part of the ownership experience 😊
it's not a Panigale, it's something else
but does it spend more time at the dealer than with the owner?
You might be twenty years out of date with that opinion.
My Streetfighter V4 has done 10,000km’s without an issue. This is now typical for Ducati. Exceptions exist of course.
What did you do with your beards 😅
