Ducati Panigale V4 2026: our road test
Lighter, more electronic, faster: the Borgo Panigale superbike raises the bar once again.
We rode the new Ducati Panigale V4 2026 through the curves of the Apennines and on track at Misano. The Desmosedici Stradale V4 gains horsepower and, above all, a fuller torque curve in the mid-range, where you really ride on the road.
The chassis has been refined with a revised frame and a lighter swingarm: the result is a front end that communicates more and corner entry that requires less physical effort. The electronics, managed by the latest-generation inertial platform, intervene with an almost human smoothness.
It remains a bike for experienced riders, but the gap to its rivals has widened. The price? Consistent with the badge, and first deliveries have already begun.
