Styling

The styling on the 2025 Ducati Panigale draws its inspiration from the iconic 916 and the headlights have been sleeked out when compared to the previous iteration but keeps the front facia look, sharp and mean as it was always known for. The bike now gets a refreshed double sided swingarm, a departure from the single swing arm in the previous model. The winglets are now positioned a bit lower than before for a better airflow, keeping the beast planted when at higher speeds. While the changes are plenty, it retains its very Ducati-like appearance for a quick identification on the roads.

Features

Ducati has significantly enhanced the rider interface of the 2025 Panigale V4, replacing the previous 5-inch display with a larger, more informative 6.9-inch TFT screen. For improved precision and feel, the throttle assembly has been swapped with the unit from the Panigale V4 R. While the suite of electronic aids including launch control, ride and power modes, traction, wheelie, and slide control, engine brake control, and a pit limiter has been carried over, a notable addition is an advanced cornering ABS system that incorporates automated rear braking to boost control during aggressive maneuvers.

Engine

Ducati has refined the Panigale V4's 1103cc, four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, ensuring it now meets Euro 5 emissions standards through internal modifications. While the resulting figures are almost similar with minimal changes, bringing the total to 213hp at 13,500rpm, and 120.9Nm at 11,250rpm, which is a negligible bump in power and a slight drop in torque, the overall output remains intensely potent.

Hardware

Ducati has given the 2025 Panigale V4 a significant overhaul, starting with a lightweight aluminum front frame directly inspired by their MotoGP machines, resulting in a 17 percent weight reduction compared to the previous iteration. Braking performance has been elevated with larger 330mm front discs, now paired with the latest Brembo Hypure monobloc calipers, which are a step up from the earlier Brembo Stylema M4.30 units. While the suspension components, a 43mm Showa inverted fork and a Sachs monoshock, both fully adjustable, remain, they've been recalibrated for the 2025 model to optimize handling and ride dynamics.

Price

The 2025 Ducati Panigale V4, now equipped with its array of upgrades, comes with a price tag of Rs 29,99,000 ex-showroom. This reflects a notable price increase of Rs 2,26,400 compared to the outgoing model, which was priced at Rs 27,72,600 ex-showroom.
