Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Debuts in India as a Limited-Edition Collector’s Motorcycle
Ducati India has officially announced the arrival of the Panigale V4 Tricolore, a highly exclusive motorcycle limited to just 1,000 numbered units globally. This special edition celebrates Italian craftsmanship and racing heritage with a unique aesthetic and, for the first time in the history of the Tricolore series, high-performance technical components designed specifically for track use.
Design and Asymmetric Livery
The Panigale V4 Tricolore features a new asymmetric livery designed by Aldo Drudi of Drudi Performance in collaboration with the Centro Stile Ducati. The color scheme incorporates the white, red, and green of the Italian flag, paired with a black and white checkered flag motif on the lower fairing. This design pays tribute to the 1984 750 F1, reinterpreting a classic look for the seventh generation of Ducati Superbikes.
Distinctive features include number plates displaying the number “1” on the front and sides, similar to the Panigale V4 R. To emphasize its status as a collector’s item, each unit features an engraved machined aluminum steering plate showing the specific model name and production number.
Advanced Technical Specifications and Performance
Based on the 2025 Panigale V4, the Tricolore edition introduces several firsts for a production motorcycle. It is equipped with the “Front Brake Pro” system, featuring 338.5 mm finned Brembo T-Drive discs that are 6.2 mm thick. These racing-derived components are paired with Hypure calipers and an MCS 19.21 front brake pump with remote adjustment.
Key Performance Features:
- Engine: 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine producing 216 hp at 13,500 rpm.
- Weight Reduction: Carbon fiber rims reduce weight by approximately 0.907 kg compared to the Panigale V4 S, lowering inertia by 12% at the front and 19% at the rear.
- Dry Weight: The bike weighs 188 kg without fuel, making it 3 kg lighter than the standard V4 S.
- Suspension: Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) 3.0 with Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 control for the fork, shock absorber, and steering damper.
- Additional Hardware: Includes a dry clutch, adjustable aluminum footpegs, and a GPS module.
