Complete details of the Ducati Panigale V4 Performance accessories
While the Panigale V4 is already one of the most powerful sportsbikes worldwide, Ducati has revamped its performance for track enthusiasts with the launch of its new performance accessories.
The first and the biggest available upgrade is the introduction of a custom Akrapovic titanium full exhaust system. This has been specifically developed in collaboration with Ducati. This new exhaust offers a massive power add-on of 12 bhp, while reducing the total kerb weight by 6.6 kg.
This power is achieved by a new racing-oriented polyester air filter, a dedicated engine control unit remap that includes the riding mode recalibration and optimised use of the onboard electronics.
With that said, the total power output with the optional Akrapovic exhaust system is 228 bhp and 127.8 Nm of peak torque. However, this exhaust system is not road legal, and it can only be used on a race track due to its extreme power and loudness.
But Ducati does not stop here as it has added a plethora of race parts for improved performance, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. These new accessories are as follows:
- STM EVO-SBK dry clutch built with billet aluminium for smooth and quick gear shifts
- Open carbon fibre clutch cover
- Alternator cover guard
- Front and rear mudguards
- Heel guards
- Fuel tank cover
- Winglets
- Front brake cooling ducts
- A bigger windshield
Unlike the exhaust system, the above accessories are road legal. Meanwhile, customers can directly configure their respective motorcycles through the official website configurator section, to prepare their bikes from the factory itself. Existing customers will be able to purchase these Performance accessories separately.
Our say
The Panigale V4 is considered one of the most brutal and powerful track machines worldwide. Its worth has already been proven in various motorsports, including the MotoGP Championship, where the Italian manufacturer is continuously leading the championship. The new upgrades will help customers get a feel of a proper motorsports racing bike.
