Ducati honors Francesco Bagnaia’s victory at the MotoGP Italian GP last year with the new Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia. This was revealed at the Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy.
At an event attended by CEO Claudio Domenicali and Minister Adolfo Urso, this special edition motorcycle was introduced, limited to only 163 units.
The Tricolore livery is similar to what Bagnaia wore in Mugello on June 2, 2024, on his Desmosedici GP24, winning the Italian GP: a blue base, with the same sponsors, and a white part featuring the colors of the Italian flag.
Compared to the regular Panigale V4, the Tricolore Italia features an aluminum fuel tank with a 17-liter capacity, originally signed by Bagnaia; a kerb weight of 188 kg (without fuel); Alcantara seat; racing plexiglass; a dry clutch kit; carbon fibre rims homologated for passenger use; carbon fibre applied to front and rear mudguards, chain guard, heel guards; swingarm cover; exhaust guard, and alternator cover.
Other differences include adjustable billet aluminum footpegs, a GPS module, and a PRO+ braking system in the front, which now features two Brembo T-drive ventilated discs and Brembo GP4 Sport Production calipers, along with a Brembo MCS 19.21 pump with remote adjustment.
Each of the 163 units comes with a billet aluminum steering plate displaying the progressive number and model name, as well as a dedicated animation on the dashboard when the key is inserted. The aluminum contact key also features the progressive number.
The extra equipment for the bike includes a dedicated wooden transport crate, a dedicated motorcycle cover, a certificate of authenticity, and a customized box for additional components.
Not homologated for road use, but part of the extra equipment in this edition, are the billet aluminum racing fuel tank cap, carbon fibre brake caliper air conveyors, a license plate holder removal kit, and an open carbon fibre clutch cover.
As for the rest, the Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia retains the same 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine with 216 hp and 120.9 Nm of torque, Öhlins suspension, and other technical features that are unchanged from the regular model.
