The new Ducati Panigale V4 2025 was officially unveiled a week ago, raising the bar even higher for the road-going superbike from the Borgo Panigale manufacturer – incorporating many features and components found on MotoGP and World Superbike machines.
Before the official presentation, one of the first riders to experience the new bike was two-time MotoGP World Champion Francesco Bagnaia, who took it for a spin for the first time on the historic Imola circuit.
With a high-performance Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine displacing 1,103 cc and producing 216 hp, the Panigale V4 features highlights such as the debut of the Race and CBS braking system (providing sensations close to those of professional riders) and new Öhlins suspensions on the V4 S version.
Ducati has released a mini-documentary capturing Bagnaia’s debut on the Panigale V4 2025, accompanied by Cristian Gabarrini – his MotoGP crew chief. Watch it all in the video below.
