Few brands enjoy a brand loyalty as fierce and thorough as Ducati does. And no where is that loyalty more evident than the bi-annual World Ducati Week held in Misano, Italy.

First held in 1998 as a way of getting closer to its fan base, Ducati has been organising the WDW, as it’s affectionately known, every year since. Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic put an end to that run.

But what a comeback it has been. According to Ducati, the 2022 and eleventh-edition of WDW welcomed over 80,000 attendees from 84 different countries.

The Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” was also open for guests to ride or drive on and a total of 5,805 laps were recorded by cars and motorcycles. The cars were mostly Audis and Lamborghinis, understandably so since Ducati is part of the Audi Group, as is Lamborghini.

The WDW is a true gathering of Ducati enthusiasts and 235 official Ducati clubs from around the world attended the event, a mega testament to the love and passion Ducati enjoys from its fan base.

The great thing about this unique relationship is that Ducati loves to give back to its fans as well. As part of the WDW, the iconic Lenovo Race of Champions is also organised as a sub-event.

The 2022 Lenovo Race of Champions is where official Ducati riders (the highest number ever) from MotoGP, Superbike and Supersport Championship Series will compete against each other on equal bikes. This year’s starting grid included 21 champions such as Pecco Bagnaia, Jack Miller, Michele Pirro, Johann Zarco, Jorge Martin, Enea Bastianini and even Danilo Petrucci.

The Race of Champions is an exhibition race meant to get the fans closer to their racing idols, but you can’t tell a pure-bred racer that he is just putting on a show. And as such, the eight laps of the Race of Champions offered some heart stopping action.

The only difference here is that every rider is on a road going Panigale V4S and a Panigale V2 which can be bought at any Ducati store anywhere in the world. The only modification done is that the tyres have been swapped for full slick race tyres and the standard exhaust swapped for a full Akrapovic titanium exhaust while certain parts from the Ducati Performance Parts catalogue were sprinkled on for good measure.

MotoGP rider Pecco Bagnaia of the Ducati Lenovo factory team won the Panigale V4S category while the Panigale V2 category was won by Italian rider Federico Caricasulo.

The best part of the Lenovo Race of Champions is that the bikes that were raced by the champions are available for sale to select customers almost immediately after the race.

Astonishingly, all bikes that were raced during the exhibition race were sold in just a few hours. The first to be snapped up in mere minutes was Jack Miller’s number 43 bike followed by the number 63 bike of Pecco Bagnaia and the number five of Johann Zarco. Each bike was characterised by the riders racing livery with the triple clamp bearing a lasered logo of the rider’s name.

But the World Ducati Week is not only about motorcycles and races, it’s also about celebrating Ducati and everything it has to offer.

For those who love a little bit of off-roading, there was a specially laid out course where attendees could try out the latest Ducati dual-purpose machine – the Desert X!

There was even a mountain bike course since Ducati also offers e-mountain bikes now. This was open to anyone who wanted to try out the latest Ducati e-bikes.

During every edition of the WDW, thousands of Ducati fans gather together to collectively ride the Misano World Circuit. There were so many motorcycles gathered together on track this year that it took a full 33 minutes for them all to snake out of the circuit.

From the circuit, the thousands of bikes then rode on parade to the coastal town of Riccione for the Scrambler Beach Party. And at the head of the ‘big red snake’ was Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati who rode together with MotoGP and superbike riders as well as Ducati management, leading the way for the thousands of Ducatisti.

The Scrambler Beach Party is another must attend event held in conjunction with the World Ducati Weed. Held exclusively in Riccione, this year’s party was headlined by legendary Italian DJ Benny Benassi.

The World Ducati Week ended with a mega barbecue party held on the pit straight of the Misano circuit. The barbecue was headed by three-star Michelin chef Enoteca Pinchiorri who was assisted by the top management of Ducati in one of the largest barbecue party this writer has ever seen. The day ended with the Ducati race riders meeting their fans, an incredible firework display and a DJ set from Meduza.

The World Ducati Week is a must attend event for every self-respecting biker. It is not only an event for Ducati owners or fans, but it has a culture of inclusivity that celebrates the spirit of riding. Among the thousands of Ducatis there were BMWs, Kawasakis, Yamahas, Aprilias and other brands. They parked among the Ducatis and made merry with Ducatisti. This is the spirit of Ducati, the inclusivity for everyone who loves motorcycles.

Ducati Malaysia dengan rasminya melancarkan Ducati Panigale V4 2022 untuk pasaran tempatan.

Tampil dengan dua varian, Panigale V4 dan V4 S kedua-duanya ditawarkan pada harga RM148,900 dan RM188,900.

Bagi tahun 2022, terdapat beberapa penambahbaikan terbaru dilaksanakan terutamanya di bahagian enjin, chasis, panel badan dan pakej elektronik.

Pertamanya, bahagian panel badan kini telah dinaik taraf dengan pertambahan corong udara bagi memperbaiki tahap kepanasan enjin. Bukan itu sahaja, corong udara di bahawa sisi juga bertujuan menyejukkan quickshifter.

Sementara itu, Ducati juga menaik taraf nisbah gear juga telah diperkemas dengan gear 1, 2 dan 6 kini tampil dengan nisbah lebih panjang berbanding model 2021.

Nisbah gear yang lebih panjang itu bertujuan memastikan aliran kuasa enjin 1103cc V4 itu lebih terkawal terutamanya di RPM rendah.

Pada masa sama, enjin V4 itu kini menawarkan 215.5hp berbanding 214hp pada model terdahulu.

Namun jika mempunyai bajet lebih, pengguna boleh menaik taraf ke ekzos Akrapovic (full system) yang boleh meningkatkan kuasa kepada 225hp disamping 5kg lebih ringan berbanding ekzos standard.

Peningkatan kuasa itu berlaku disebabkan naik taraf yang dilakukan pada bahagian ‘underslung exhaust’ yang kini 18 peratus lebih besar di samping sistem penyejukan yang lebih efisien.

Sementara itu, bahagian tangki kini menawarkan kapasiti 17L naik 1L berbanding model sebelumnya. Ducati juga telah mereka semula bahagian tangki bagi memastikan ‘rider’ boleh meletakkan lengan di bahagian sisi tangki dengan lebih baik terutamanya ketika mengambil selekoh.

Bahagian kaki juga kini boleh mencengkam bahagian bawah tangki dengan lebih baik sewaktu melalukan brek mengejut bagi memastikan jentera masih berada dalam kawalan.

Ciri lain yang turut dipertingkat adalah rekaan winglet yang walaupun tampil lebih kecil namun masih lagi menghasilkan ‘downforce’ 37kg pada kelajuan 300km/j.

Ducati Panigale V4 S 2022 juga dinaik taraf dengan fork depan Ohlins NPX 25/30 boleh laras secara elektronik.

Fork depan itu juga menawarkan jarak pergerakan 5mm lebih panjang menjadi 125mm berbanding sebelum ini.

Pada masa sama, paparan skrin TFT juga telah direka semual dan kini hadir dengan dua lampu pertukaran gear LED di bahagian atas.

Bagi yang berminat untuk melihat Ducati Panigale V4 S dengan lebih dekat, diminta hadir ke pusat pameran Ducati Malaysia di Petaling Jaya.

Ducati Malaysia has officially launched the 2022 Panigale V4 superbike for the local market.

  • The 2022 Panigale V4 get a host of aerodynamic and electronic upgrades.
  • the new electronic package ensures the Panigale V4 is even friendlier to ride. 

Available in two trims, the base V4 is priced at RM148,900 while the top of the range V4 S can be yours for RM188,900.

The Borgo Panigale factory has made numerous improvements for the Panigale V4, aimed at refining the riding ergonomics and power.

Visually, the 2022 Panigale V4 gets a redesigned winglet, and despite appearing smaller, it produces the same 30kg of downforce at 270km/h.
Ducati also improves the engine heat distribution by revamping the belly pan, which now features two air slots on either side and a series of air slits at the bottom.
Despite the minimal changes, the improved cooling efficiency pushes the Desmosedici Stradale peak power to 215.5hp @ 13,00rpm and 123.6Nm @ 9,500rpm.
Other major changes include getting the SBK gearbox from the Panigale V4 R, whereby its first, second and sixth gear is made taller to allow for better gear transition. The new transmission also helps the Panigale V4 to achieve an extra 5km/h top speed than the 2021 Panigale V4.
Nonetheless, replacing the stock exhaust with a full-system Akrapovic race exhaust will help bump the peak power to 225hp and reduce the weight by 5kg to 190.5kg from its 195.5kg curb weight.
The new Panigale V4 also gets a 5mm longer suspension travel front fork which is said to help improve the front-end feel.
Meanwhile, the Öhlins semi-active suspension available on the 2022 Ducati Panigale V4 S now adopts Öhlins NPX 25/30 pressurized fork, which is fitted into the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 event-based electronic control system.
The pressurized system managed the compression in the left leg of the fork with a 25mm piston, while a 30mm piston managed the extension in the right leg.
The swingarm pivot was also raised by 4mm to increase the anti-squat effect during acceleration.
Interestingly, to help the rider’s ergonomic, Ducati has made big changes to the fuel tank shape and material to allow riders to have better grip during braking and turning.
Ducati has also restyled the 5″ TFT display that now features two LED shifter lights at the top.

Most importantly, the 2022 Panigale V4 continues to offer 6-axis IMU, which include:

The two models represent a different approach, with the Tribute PRO pays homage to Ducati’s first twin-cylinder engine while the Urban Motard offers a younger expression.

The Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro took us back to the first twin-cylinder Ducati to go on sale in 1971.

Clad in a unique ‘Giallo Ocra’ yellow, the Tribute PRO also features the Giugiaro-penned Ducati logo that elevates the classic element of Ducati’s historical era.

  • the Streetfighter V4 SP makes 208hp and 123Nm and weigh at just 196kg. 

Dressed in carbon fibre components, the V4 SP weighs at just 196kg, 3kg less than the Streetfighter V4 S.

The BST carbon fibre wheels are 1.4kg lighter than the forged aluminium fitted o the Streetfighter V4 S, and it also features Brembo Style R front brake callipers.

The Streetfighter V4 SP is also equipped with Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 that offers adjustable damping capabilities while on the move according to the rider’s riding style.

Nonetheless, the lighter V4 SP makes 208hp and 123Nm @ 9,500rpm from its 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine. However, the SP gets slightly better treatment, thanks to the STM-EVO SBK dry clutch, which helps improve anti-hopping even in the most aggressive shift.

Other exciting features include:

The latest unveiling by Ducati Malaysia was led by a trio of V2-powered machines with the likes of Ducati Streetfighter V2, Multistrada V2 S and the limited run Panigale V2 Bayliss 1st Championship 20th Anniversary edition followed by the Streetfighter V4 SP.

Meanwhile, the Land Of Joy welcomes two new addition, the Scrambler Urban Motard and Scrambler 1100 Tribute PRO.

Streetfighter V2 – RM101,900

The idea behind the new V2 is simple, take the Ducati Panigale V2, strip the fairing and boom! The Streetfighter V2 is born.

This also means that the Streetfighter V2 is powered by the same desmodromic Superquadro 955cc engine that makes 150hp and 102Nm.

However, the Streetfighter V2 is in a more approachable form for street riding compared to the Panigale V2.

It also features a longer single-sided swingarm, fully adjustable Showa Big Piston front forks, Sachs rear shocks (also adjustable) and Sachs steering damper.

Meanwhile, braking is done by the same Brembo M4-32 monobloc radial callipers with 320mm disc available on the Panigale V2.

Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss – RM136,900

The special edition Panigale V2 was built to pay homage to Troy Bayliss careers at the Superbike World Championship.

The Panigale V2 is characterized by the combination of livery and graphics inspired by the 996 R that helped Bayliss clinched his maiden win in the 2001 WSBK.

To better enhance performance on the track, the V2 Bayliss 1st Championship 20th Anniversary is fitted with Öhlins NX30 front fork and TTX36 rear shock absorbers.

The bike also managed to shed off 3kgs of weight thanks to a new lithium-ion battery and a single-seat configuration.

Ducati Mutlistrada V2 S – RM105,900

While it may look like the current 950S, the Multistrada V2 S is a far technologically advanced motorcycle thanks to an all-new electronic package.

According to Ducati, the entire build was focus on ergonomics, weight reduction, and engine updates.

As a result, the new Multistrada V2 S is equipped with the latest 937cc Testastretta 11° with desmodromic distribution and a water-cooled unit that delivers 113hp and 98Nm.

The twin-cylinder engine offers linear and manageable power at low-revs while also capable of pumping greater torque when needed.

Ducati claimed the engine has an extended maintenance interval, with a regular oil change at every 15,000km and Ducati Desmo service (valve clearance check) at every 30,000km.
This is contributed by using new connecting rods, a new 8-disc hydraulic clutch and an updated gearbox that guarantees better precision during shifting.
In order to achieve maximum comfort, the Multistrada V2 S features a 19″ front wheel and Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO semi-active suspension that adjust the suspensions settings according to the road conditions.
Shorter riders will also benefit from the shorter 830mm seat height and narrower saddle, allowing you to touch the ground with your feet easily.
Interestingly, the Multistrada V2 S also features a new footpeg taken from its bigger cousin, the Multistrada V4 and a 5kg weight reduction compared to the current Multistrada 950.
