The Ducati Panigale V4 R is the company's most powerful production motorcycle ever and also happens to be a road-legal WSBK category racing bike. Instead of the 1,103 cc V4 engine, the Panigale V4 R gets a 998 cc V4 Desmosedici Stradale R engine, which meets the WSBK homologation rules. The engine makes a whopping 221 bhp and 111 Nm of peak torque while being paired to a six-speed manual gearbox. The 998 cc engine is lighter and the air intake is bigger and better. It revs faster than the standard V4 and redlines higher too at 16,500 rpm (13,000 rpm on the V4 S). The Ducati Panigale V4 R also comes with an optional Akrapovic race exhaust system, which further pushes the power output to 234 bhp. The Panigale V4 R tips the scale at 172 kg, which is 2 kg lighter than the V4 and the V4 S.

Bookings for the new Panigale V4 R are now open across all Ducati dealerships in Delhi - NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Kochi, Kolkata & Chennai.
