Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Launched in India at Rs 77 Lakh

The Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore features a unique asymmetric livery inspired by the 1984 Ducati 750 F1, which is a first for a Tricolore model. Designed by Drudi Performance, it includes elements like a billet aluminum number board and carbon fiber components, enhancing both aesthetics and performance. This model also incorporates lighter five-spoke carbon fiber wheels, contributing to improved track performance.

The Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore is powered by a 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine producing 213 bhp and 122 Nm of torque. In contrast, the Panigale V4 R features a 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R engine with a higher output of 215 bhp at 15,500 rpm, which can increase to 231.7 bhp with an optional racing exhaust. Thus, the V4 R is slightly more powerful, aimed at racing enthusiasts.

The Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore is equipped with 338.5 mm Brembo T-Drive finned front brake discs and Brembo Hypure calipers, making it the first production motorcycle to feature this setup. This advanced braking system is derived from Ducati's racing components and includes an MCS 19.21 master cylinder with remote lever adjustment, significantly enhancing braking performance and control.

The Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore includes advanced electronic systems such as the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) and Race eCBS, which enhance the motorcycle's dynamics and aerodynamics. These systems are designed to optimize performance, especially on the track, allowing for improved handling and rider control during high-speed maneuvers.

The Panigale V4 Tricolore boasts lighter five-spoke carbon fiber wheels, which reduce inertia by 12% at the front and 19% at the rear compared to the forged wheels of the Panigale V4 S. This contributes to a wet weight of 188 kg without fuel, making it about 3 kg lighter than the standard Panigale V4 S, enhancing its agility and performance on the track.
