Ducati Panigale V4 Superleggera

If you have ever felt turned on upon laying your eyes on a beautiful motorcycle, chances are that one of them is the 2020 Ducati Superleggera V4. Sexy in design, powerful in nature, and a symbol of extreme mechanical engineering, Ducati took the teasing to another level by posting up a video of how it’s made. Depending on how you react, it might be labelled as NSFW, ASMR, or one of those satisfying videos on the Internet. (more…)

Right after the official global live stream of the 2020 Ducati Streetfighter V4, Ducati released a short clip on YouTube showcasing the performance of their most powerful track-oriented yet street-legal machine yet, the Ducati Superleggera V4. (more…)

Ducati akhirnya mendedahkan Panigale V4 Superleggera 2020 selepas berminggu penantian.

Ramai yang menjangkakan jentera eksklusif ini akan diperkenalkan dalam masa terdekat selepas beberapa gambar termasuk spesifikasi jentera edisi terhad – hanya 500 unit dibina – ini bocor di internet.

Apatah lagi, beberapa klien penting Ducati telah menerima email secara langsung daripada Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Ducati, Claudio Domenicali.

Panigale V4 Superleggera ini didatangkan dengan pelbagai teknologi terkini dan luar biasa meskipun tampak seakan-akan Panigale V4R.

Ini kerana, Superleggera ini merupakan V4R yang telah diselubungi gentian karbon – sekaligus menjadikan jentera ini 16 kilogram lebih ringan!

Perkara pertama yang paling menonjol adalah kehadiran biplane winglet yang tampak seakan kapal UFO mahluk asing sementara bahagian fairing didatangkan dengan livery Desmosedici GP-19.

Superleggera ini juga merupakan Panigale paling berkuasa dengan 224hp berjaya dihasilkan enjin 998cc Desmosedici Stradale.

Percaya atau tidak, Panigale V4 Superleggera ini hanya satu kilogram lebih berat berbanding Modenas Pulsar NS200!

Sistem penyerap hentakan pula dikendalikan fork tekanan Ohlins dan titanium shock manakala brek dikendalikan sepasang kaliper brek Brembo Stylema R.

Orang ramai yang berminat untuk mendapatkan jentera unik ini, anda hanya perlu membelanjakan USD100,000 (RM413,500) dan Ducati akan turut sama menawarakan peluang menunggang WSBK Panigale V4 R dan Desmosedici GP20 di litar.

Ducati has finally unveiled their latest and most powerful Ducati Panigale yet, the Ducati Superleggera V4. Coming in hot with 234hp (when equipped with the Akrapovic full titanium race exhaust), the Ducati Superleggera V4 is the first street-legal motorcycle in the world that comes with a full carbon fibre chassis.

We’re less than a day away from the official launch of the 2020 Ducati Superleggera V4 and some folks have already leaked the photos online regarding the RM400,000 limited edition superbike.

We know for a fact that some folks have special access for the ‘Project 1708’ on Ducati’s official website and judging by the beauty of the shots, it is very likely that the photos were sourced from there AND this is the true 2020 Ducati Superleggera V4. (more…)

A second teaser video regarding the highly anticipated Ducati Superleggera V4 was released on YouTube by V4Evo, an American company specializing in carbon fibre. It’s weird that it’s not Ducati themselves that are releasing the videos, but we’ll probably get an explanation in the future. (more…)

We were first presented with leaked specs for the Ducati Superleggera V4 earlier this week and we were simply stunned by the number of goodies this bike packs from its 234hp and 152kg superlight weight. Now, we got our hands on a super delicious photo of the mega superbike with biplane wings! (more…)

It was just a matter of time before we see the arrival of the Ducati Panigale V4 Superleggera and the news came from none other than Ducati CEO, Claudio Domenicali. It turns out that a selected group of Ducatisti received an email pertaining something called “Project 1708” and boy oh boy, are we excited to share what we have for you (no, we didn’t get the email…).

  • A supposed Ducati Panigale V4 Superleggera was spotted undergoing tests.

  • Ducati is following their tradition of producing limited-edition super light superbikes.

  • The bike may be unveiled during the Ducati 2020 World Premiere.

A supposed Ducati Panigale V4 Superleggera was spotted undergoing tests.

Maybe it was unexpected, but Ducati seems to be continuing with the Superleggera (super light) tradition, as they did with the Panigale 1199 and Panigale 1299.

Operating on the “light is right” principal, the test bike was spotted with generous amounts of carbon fibre. The main bodywork including the nose cone, front portion of the fuel tank, and seat unit are made of the lightweight stuff.

But we noticed that the bodywork’s styling takes after the Panigale V4 R’s complete with winglets.

Ducati seems to retain the front and rear mudguards, and belly pan in polymer. The swingarm is also non-carbon.

The rims share the same design as those on the Panigale 1199 Superleggera and Panigale 1299 Superleggera, however. It could very well mean that they are carbon fibre, too.

The exhaust muffler also looks different and could be of a lightweight design and material.

It goes without saying that the Superleggera will be much lighter than the regular V4. For comparison sake, the Panigale 1299 S weighed 190 kg, while the 1299 Superleggera tipped the scales at only 167 kg, making it the lightest production superbike.

Lower weight results in higher power-to-weight ratio and lower inertia. The bike accelerates faster, can hold higher mid corner speeds and brakes faster.

We may see he new bike during the Ducati 2020 World Premiere on 23rd October.
