Società Scientifica Radio Brevetti Ducati was established in Bologna in 1926 by Antonio Cavalieri Ducati and his three sons, Adriano, Marcello, and Bruno, to manufacture vacuum tubes, condensers, and other radio components. They had achieved enough success by 1935 to make it possible to build a new facility in the city's Borgo Panigale neighbourhood. The Ducati factory was repeatedly bombed by the Allies, yet production continued throughout World War II. On October 12, 1944, as part of US Army Air Forces Operation Pancake, which encompassed 700 aircraft flying from airfields in the Province of Foggia, it was finally destroyed by about 40 Consolidated B-24 Liberators.
Since its introduction in 2018, Ducati's Panigale V4 platform has advanced the superbike market with cutting-edge technology. The Bologna, Italy, manufacturer hasn't become complacent over that period though, making minor updates to the premier sportbike over time. The most comprehensive update to the 2022 Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S yet includes changes to the engine, chassis, electronics, aero, and ergos.
The MotoGP-derived Desmosedici Stradale engine in the Panigale will still have a 1,103cc displacement in 2022, but thanks to a new torque management system and specialised mapping, it will produce 210 horsepower at 12,500 rpm and 90.6 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 rpm. The longer 1st, 2nd, and 6th gears of Ducati's new SBK gearbox aid in transferring the power to the back wheel. As a result, the Panigale V4 is claimed to provide faster maximum speed, harder corner-exit acceleration, and slow-speed turning.
The Panigale's power parameters are now available to the user with the help of new Power Modes thanks to the V4's improved electronics. Riders may access the motorcycle's full potential in Full Power Mode because no electronic filters are present to distort the torque curves (except in 1st gear).
A more advanced throttle-by-wire map management technology that maximises thrust at open throttle is added to High and Medium Modes. With the Desmosedici Stradale's power output restricted to 150 horsepower in Low Mode, road riding comfort and enjoyment are greatly enhanced.
The Panigale's four Riding Modes (Race A, Race B, Sport, and Street) alter the superbike's personality in addition to the Power Modes. All of those settings are communicated by the updated dashboard's additional exterior lights and features.
The creation of a new Track Evo info mode was suggested by Ducati MotoGP riders. The new arrangement offers the best screen legibility for racers and track riders by moving the tachometer bar to the top of the display, the gear indication in the middle, and the rider aids down the right side.
While the shocks and tires on the two chassis may be different, both have top-notch Brembo braking systems. A taller swingarm pivot helps each superbike, which improves the Panigale's anti-squat qualities when accelerating.
Both variations of the superbike have the brand's iconic red fairings and new black Ducati branding as part of Ducati's subdued aesthetic changes. However, a two-tone seat and red wheel tape are also added to the V4 S.
The 2022 Ducati Panigale V4 and 2022 Ducati Panigale V4 S go on sale in February for a suggested retail price of $23,295 and $29,995, respectively.
