New Panigale V4 S 2027
The constant pursuit of performance.
Faster with each lap.
The Panigale V4 S takes everything new for 2027 and adds the very best equipment. Alongside 218 hp from the Desmosedici Stradale and electronics derived from the Superleggera V4 Centenario, the S brings Öhlins semi-active suspension with the Smart EC 3.0 system, forged aluminium wheels, a lithium-ion battery and track-adjustable clip-ons – all for a wet weight, without fuel, of just 187 kg.
Advanced Racing Aerodynamics
The 2027 Panigale V4 S adopts the intake duct developed for the Panigale V4 R. By raising the air pressure at the filter inlet, it helps release up to 1.3 hp of extra power at 300 km/h.
The aerodynamic package also features dual-profile winglets blended seamlessly into the fairing, now with larger, more efficient endplates for strong downforce and stability at speed.
Desmosedici Stradale Engine
The 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale brings MotoGP know-how to the road, now producing 218 hp at 13,500 rpm and 120.6 Nm at 11,000 rpm. Its 90° V4 layout, rotated back by 42°, combines Desmodromic timing, a counter-rotating crankshaft and the Twin Pulse firing order.
Updates to the intake, exhaust and lubrication boost power at high revs, and the rev limit rises by 500 rpm to 15,000 rpm in second to fifth gears. A new high-flow sports air filter reduces pressure losses, a larger Ø38 mm silencer (up from Ø36 mm) cuts back pressure, and the oil circuit has been recalibrated MotoGP-style, with maximum oil flow reduced by 10% to minimise mechanical losses.
Longer final gearing (17/42 vs 16/41) means fewer gear changes through technical sections, turning the extra performance into a real advantage on track.
Öhlins Semi-Active Suspension and Forged Wheels
The V4 S is fitted with an Öhlins NPX 25/30 pressurised 43 mm fork with TiN treatment and an Öhlins TTX36 rear shock, both fully adjustable. Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) 3.0 with Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 adjusts compression and rebound damping electronically, using an event-based mode that adapts to every phase of riding. An Öhlins steering damper completes the package.
Forged aluminium 5-spoke wheels and a lithium-ion battery cut weight, bringing the V4 S to 187 kg wet without fuel – 4 kg lighter than the Panigale V4.
The Front Frame now has 12% less lateral stiffness for better contact with the tarmac at extreme lean angles, and the wheelbase is 8 mm shorter for sharper changes of direction. For track use, the semi-handlebars can be set 10 mm higher than standard, giving more steering leverage and less physical effort under hard braking.
Electronics from the Superleggera V4 Centenario
The Panigale V4 S inherits its electronics package from the Superleggera V4 Centenario, with new control strategies for greater precision, stability and performance on track. New features include Race Brake Control with dedicated track strategies, and a Ducati Quick Shift using the V4 R calibrations.
The new Dynamic Engine Brake Control (DEB) takes engine braking further by combining engine management with automatic activation of the rear brake, improving stability, precision and control on corner entry and giving the rider more confidence under hard braking.
Every control uses the Ducati Vehicle Observer, the algorithm developed by Ducati Corse, for more accurate intervention and an even sharper response when riding at the limit.
Riders of Bridgwater Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Riders of Bridgwater Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
