Ducati Panigale V4S Review HD
Ducati Panigale V4S Review ▪️ BIKE SPECS ▪️ Power: 1103cc (214hp) Torque: 81.5 ftlb of torque. Weight: 195Kg Seat Height: 830 mm Extras: ABS, Traction control, Engine brake control, slide control, quick shifter up and down, multi riding modes, Aluminium forged wheels ▪️OVERALL RATING (5/5)▪️ This was by far the most exciting bike I have ever ridden, I’m blown away by the shear power the bike produces and the easiness in handling it offers at the same time. The styling is similar to the Panigale 1299 just slightly sharper looking and more compact to achieve that comfortable riding position. The bike is truly OUTSTANDING and there really is no other word to describe it, Ducati have ticked all the boxes with this one. ▪️RIDE QUALITY & BRAKES (5/5)▪️ Having tried the other Panigale’s and not personally being a fan of the riding position etc, the V4S introduces a totally different and better experience. It’s safe to say that most of the ride quality is due to that new Aliminum alloy front frame which is newly introduced technology from the MotoGP bikes, oh and the Öhlins electronics second generation suspension system isn’t that bad to say the least. ▪️ENGINE (5/5)▪️ Now we come to the jewel of the bike, the new V4 1103cc engine produces an astonishing 214bhp (yes it’s correct it’s not a typo). The counter-rotating crankshaft produces inertia-linked torque in the opposite direction, lowering the front of the bike, limiting the bike’s desire to wheelie, and therefore boosting acceleration performance. The electronics are so advanced they must be from a different planet, how the bike is kept on the ground with all that power is beyond me! ▪️NITPICKING▪️ Apart from the price tag, the bike did generate a bit of heat between the legs on the inner thighs so would be something to watch out for on those warm sunny days, I also found the mirrors vibrating a tad more beyond visual comfort. ▪️SO WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?▪️ That’s a HELL YES from our end. I truly believe that this bike has confidently claimed the number 1 spot of all super bikes. It is one hell of a bike and it will take something special to dethrone it. I want to thank @ducatiuae for lending us the bike for this review and both @fuadanwar1000rr and @sugar_rider05 for the help and input. Appreciated. Hope you all enjoyed the review and do stay tuned for the next one. Coming soon. Peace out!
