Ducati has unveiled the new Panigale V4 in the global market. The motorcycle has gone through some serious enhancements when compared to the previous generation. The 2024 Ducati Panigale V4 will arrive in September 2024 in the global markets. The manufacturer will bring the new Panigale V4 to the Indian market as well. However, a timeline is not known as of now. It can be expected that the 2024 Panigale V4 will go on sale in India by the end of this year or early next year.

Ducati Panigale V4 gets a revised fairing that helps improve the aerodynamic resistance by 4 per cent. The shape of the mudguard has also been changed and the conveyor upstream of the radiators increases the effectiveness of the cooling system, particularly the oil cooler.

2024 Ducati Panigale V4: Revised ergonomics

The ergonomics have been revised to offer more roominess to the rider. This has been achieved by redesigning the fuel tank. The footrests have been moved 10 mm inwards compared to the current Panigale V4, increasing ground clearance and, by allowing the rider to have his feet and legs positioned more internally, improving aerodynamic penetration.

2024 Ducati Panigale V4: Revised chassis and new swingarm

The chassis has been revised as well. The front frame has been modified and there is a new double-sided swingarm. Yes, few people might prefer the single-sided swingarm but what Ducati has done is made the new swingarm hollow to save weight. The new swingarm has also helped in allowing the position of the silencer to stay under the engine. It is also now more stiffer and the front frame itself is 3.47 kg lighter than the previous generation.
