The good folks over at Ducati are back, and they return with something revamped and refined for 2022. Today the iconic Italian company is back to showcase the 2022 rendition of the Panigale V4, and V4 S. Ducati has made some minor adjustments to the motorcycle for the new year, offering more power and other unique details.
The 2022 Panigale V4 and V4 S feature more horsepower than previous models, thanks to a new oil circuit and an 18% larger exhaust outlet. This equates to a total output of 212 HP and 90.6 lb-ft of torque and a 0-60 MPH time of around three seconds. Ducati also revamped the modes, allowing the bike to respond differently in the desired situation. Power can be decreased to 150 HP with less responsiveness for daily use, or everything can be dialed up. Superbike-spec gear ratios from a new gearbox are added, while Showa big piston forks and a Sachs adjustable rear suspension are standard on the V4.
The V4 S gets a new Ohlins fork, while both bikes feature an adjusted rear swingarm that makes the bike squat less on acceleration. The bodywork has been reshaped as well, with added air vents and a redesigned tank that is more suitable for braking. The 2022 Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S are sleek, fast, and stylish.
Take a closer look at the new bikes in the images. The V4 will cost from $23,295 USD, and the V4 S comes in at $29,995 USD. Both are slated to arrive in February next year. For more information, head over to Ducati. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more motorcycles and automotive news coming soon.
