Ducati has a huge fan following here in the Middle East and it just got even bigger with the unveiling of a brand-new and much-awaited motorcycle. Yes, that’s right, the epitome of super sportbikes, the record setter, the lap times breaker, the one and only, Ducati Panigale V4 R is here.
Revolutions Accessories LLC, a subsidiary of Al Masaood Group and authorized distributor of Ducati motorcycles in the UAE, has unveiled the new Ducati Panigale V4 R at an exclusive event today at the Ducati Showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road.
“The Panigale V4 R has been designed using innovative technology to give riders a unique racing experience. Providing brand new products that meet and surpass the expectations of customers. We have always catered to race enthusiasts through the most popular and anticipated bikes and this latest release will strengthen our profile and enhance motorsport in the country.” – Joel O’Brien, General Manager, Revolutions Accessories
The Panigale V4 R hails from the 2019 models of Panigale V4, which sets a new paradigm in motorcycle production with its revolutionary design to replace the iconic 1299 of the Ducati Superbike range. The V4 R has everything that Ducati stands by – style, sophistication, and performance.
Powering this beast is Ducati’s 998cc, Desmosedici Stradale R engine that produces 221 horses at 15,250 revs and 112 Nm at 11,500 revs. These numbers are insane. Oh, one more thing, the bike weighs only 172kg. Yes, now you do the math. Oh, there’s more. By opting for the racing kit the power gets bumped up to 234 bhp and the weight gets reduced to 165.5kg. Digest that.
There are going to be a lot of interested buyers of this machine. However, it’s quite likely that not all of them would be able to exploit the full performance of the bike. That’s where the electronics come in. The Panigale V4 R has a number of electronic rider aids like Bosch Cornering ABS EVO, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Ducati Slide Control (DSC), Engine Brake Control (EBC) EV), and different riding and power modes.
The V4 R is a perfect track tool. If you’re someone who visits a race track very often and is fond of super sportbikes, then the Panigale V4 R is definitely the machine for you.
