Ducati Multistrada V4 RS Dirasmikan – Enjin Panigale V4, 180HP

Episod terbaru Ducati World Premiere 2024 menyaksikan pengeluar motosikal Itali itu melancarkan Ducati Multistrada V4 RS, keluarga terbaru bagi model Multistrada.

Perbezaan utama varian RS tertumpu kepada bahagian enjin. Ini kerana ketika Multistrada V4, V4 S, Rally, Pikes Peak dan Grand Tour dipacu enjin Granturismo V4 1,158cc 4-silinder yang menghasilkan sekitar 170hp dan 125Nm, Multistrada V4 RS pula dihidupkan enjin Desmosedici Stradale 1,103cc yang sama terdapat pada Panigale dan Streetfighter V4. Juga memeriahkan lagi V4 RS ini adalah kehadiran ciri ‘dry clutch’.

Hasilnya, Ducati Multistrada V4 RS ini menawarkan 180hp pada 12,250rpm dan 118Nm pada 9,500rpm. Ini juga bermakna, Multistrada V4 RS ini kembali kepada penggunaan Desmodromic valve yang ikonik kepada jentera Ducati (Granturismo V4 guna pakai ‘valve-spring’).

Menariknya, bagi memastikan suhu panas enjin 1,103cc V4 itu tidak menyeksakan ketika dalam trafik sesak, ECU akan mematikan dua silinder sewaktu dalam keadaan berhenti atau semasa dalam gear neutral.

Meskipun platform berbeza, namun Multistrada V4 RS ini meminjam kerangka aluminium yang sama dari varian Pikes Peak sekaligus menyaksikan sudut ‘steering head’ berubah dari 25.75-darjah kepada 24.5-darjah sekaligus mewujudkan gaya tunggangan yang lebih sporty.

Juga seperti Pikes Peak, Multistrada V4 RS ini dilengkapi dengan rim 17-inci yang dipadankan bersama tayar Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsas. Selain itu penggunaan rim aluminium Marchesini juga berjaya mengurangkan 2.7kg berat.

V4 RS ini juga didatangkan dengan suspensi Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 yang sama terdapat pada V4 Pikes Peak namun dengan elektronik yang telah ditala semula bagi mencapai kawalan fork dan monoshock yang lebih tepat. Tetapan suspensi juga akan diselaraskan mengikut mod Race, Sport, Touring dan Urban.

Selain enjin, V4 RS juga berkongsi pakej brek sama seperti Panigale V4 termasuk kaliper monoblok berkembar Brembo Stylema yang mengapit cakera brek 330mm depan sementara bahagian belakang dikenalikan kaliper Brembo dengan cakera brek 265mm. Model ini jgua hadir dengan ciri ‘cornering ABS’ secara standard.

Ducati juga mengubah kedudukan tempat letak kaki (footrest) agar lebih tinggi dan kebelakang sementara ‘handlebar’ pula lebih rendah dan pendek berbanding Multistrada sedia ada.

Ketika siaran Ducati World Premiere 2024, Ducati menjelaskan bahawa V4 RS ini adalah model edisi terhad namun tidak dinyatakan jumlah spesifik model yang dihasilkan.

Ducati Panigale V4 S Proves It’s Hot Enough to Cook an Egg

JS Films, the star of a popular online show, has caused quite a stir with his latest video featuring his Ducati Panigale V4 S.

The Ducati Panigale V4 S makes 210hp and 123Nm.
Powering the Panigale V4 S is the powerful 1,103 cc Desmodromic 90° V4 engine.

In the video, JS starts up his bike, and viewers are treated to the iconic sound of the powerful Ducati V4 engine. However, the real surprise comes when JS proceeds to cook an egg on the hot frame of his bike!

In the video, JS demonstrates just how hot the area above the fairing of his bike can get by placing a piece of foil over it and then cracking an egg onto it. The heat emanating from the bike is enough to cook the egg, and viewers can see the yolk slowly starting to solidify.

The video has quickly gone viral, with many viewers amazed at the ingenuity of JS and his team. Some have even tried replicating the stunt themselves, with varying degrees of success.

While some may see the video as a fun and quirky way to showcase the power of the Ducati V4 engine, others have raised concerns about the potential danger of cooking food on a hot motorcycle. Experts caution that the heat from the bike could potentially lead to foodborne illness, and advise against trying to replicate the stunt at home.

Regardless of the controversy, JS’s video has certainly captured the attention of the online community, and serves as a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of content creators in the digital age.

Ducati Panigale V4 Dan V4 S 2022 Kini Di Malaysia – Dari RM145,900

Ducati V4 Superleggera Confirmed – Possible 161 kg Dry Weight

The Ducati V4 Superleggera is on its way.
It will possibly weight 161 kg, dry.
No launch date yet.

The Superleggera name has become a mainstay of Ducati’s most exotic models and recent type approval submissions confirmed that the Ducati V4 Superleggera is on the way.

Superleggera means “superlight” in Italian, hence the bike will feature lots of carbon fibre, magnesium and titanium parts to shed all that weight.

The type approval submission documents show the kerb weight (ready to ride) at 173 kg. But don’t be alarmed as manufacturers need to submit the bare minimum weight to have the bike in rideable condition. Which means all the weight of the engine oil plus fluids and minimum fuel.

So, what’s the real weight? Let’s compare it to the Panigale V4 R. The type approval kerb weight of that bike is 184 kg. That means the V4 Superleggera is 11 kg lighter in this sense. Ducati claimed the V4 R’s dry weight at 172 kg and wet weight at 193 kg. This ought to mean that the Superleggera’s dry weight is only 161 kg(!) and wet weight of 182 kg(!). That’s heavier than the 1299 Superleggera but the V4 is more complex thus weighs more.

However, all that extra weight will be forgotten when the throttle is twisted. The engine will be based on the V4 R’s 1000cc V-four instead of the 1103cc version in the V4 and V4 S. A new titanium exhaust liberates an extra 3.6 bhp bringing the maximum to 221 bhp. But! A race exhaust and ECU will pump that up to 234 bhp. Insert ear-to-ear grin here.

There are a number of other changes, as well but we have to wait for the official launch to see the specs.

2020 Ducati Panigale V4 and 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 S Updated

The 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 and 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 S were also updated.
They were revealed at the Ducati World Premiere.
Outwardly, they look like the Panigale V4 R.

More on Ducati; this was why they chose to debut new bikes away from EICMA because there are so many all at once. Included in the Ducati World Premiere were the 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 and 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 S.

The updates were aimed at moving the two bikes a little closer to the WorldSBK homologation Panigale V4 R model, but of course, the R still has more race-ready components.

First and foremost, they gain the V4 R’s winglets and fairing, complete with gills. The fairing is also wider along with a taller windscreen to provide the rider with more wind protection. Those winglets really work, and provide 30 kg of downforce at 270 km/h — the same figures as the R’s. The downforce they provide allows the rider to open the throttle earlier and keep on the gas while accelerating as wheelies are kept in check without having the anti-wheelie electronics cutting in. Ducati claims they obtained a 2.43m advantage over the 2019 model from the last corner to the finish line at Jerez.

The front of the frame was also made less stiff to provide more feedback. Better feedback equals better confidence. Additionally, the centre of gravity was moved 5 mm higher for better turning leverage.

Lastly, the already excellent traction control strategy was upgraded to DTC EVO 2, as per the new Streetfighter V4 and Panigale V2.

Ducati also released the prices. The Panigale V4 costs € 23,490 and the Panigale V4 S costs € 28,790. That marks a € 500 increase for both bikes.

Ducati Panigale V4 Superleggera on the Way?

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.
