Ducati Panigale V4 2027: longer gearing, new braking electronics
Ducati has unveiled the 2027 Panigale V4. The Desmosedici Stradale engine stays at 209 hp, but gets a revised exhaust, a higher-flow air intake and a recalibrated lubrication circuit. Final drive grows from 16/41 to 17/42, and the rev limiter in gears two through five rises to 15,000 rpm. At Vallelunga that means two fewer gearshifts per lap.
On the V4 S, lateral stiffness of the front frame is down 12%, and the effective wheelbase is 8 mm shorter. The track-oriented clip-ons sit 10 mm higher. New electronics include Dynamic Engine Brake, built on the DVO algorithm, and Race Brake Control: together they let the rider use the rear wheel more actively under braking.
Ducati says the average lap at Vallelunga is 0.4 s quicker than the previous model. The optional Akrapovič Full Racing Exhaust PRO adds 20 hp and cuts 6.6 kg. All figures come from the manufacturer's press release.
