Ducati Panigale V4 SP models are typically designed for riders who desire an enhanced track-focused experience. They often feature premium components, lightweight materials, and exclusive performance upgrades for racing enthusiasts.
The Panigale V4 SP2 boasts the same heart-pounding 214 hp (158 kW) 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine as its V4 and S siblings, but the focus here is on pure performance and control. Its Öhlins NPX25/30 pressurized forks with TiN treatment offer race-ready precision, while the fully adjustable Sachs monoshock ensures stability and grip at high speeds.
Key Differences from Panigale V4:
- Öhlins NPX25/30 pressurized forks with TiN treatment: Superior front-end feel and rigidity for aggressive track riding.
- Brembo Stylema R+ calipers: Even more stopping power for late-braking maneuvers on the track.
- Lightweight forged aluminum wheels: Enhance agility and reduce unsprung mass for quicker turn-in.
