For 2021, Ducati is expanding the Panigale family with the new Panigale V4 SP version, which marks the return of the historic “SP” (Sport Production) acronym. The Panigale V4 SP is numbered, and the number is engraved on the machined steering head. Boasting 214 hp, 123 Nm of torque and a dry weight of 173 kg, the Panigale V4 SP has a dedicated livery and is equipped with a load of technical features, and also gets many elements derived from the Superleggera V4: carbon rims, brake callipers and master cylinders, dry clutch and the same chain size (520).

For 2021, the Panigale V4 and V4 S models have become compliant with the Euro 5 homologation regulations for the countries that require them, while maintaining weight, maximum power and torque levels unchanged. The electronic package that equips the Panigale V4 evolves and now includes the latest generation Ducati Traction Control which is even more predictive: DTC EVO 3 with a strategy derived from Ducati Corse. The Race Riding Mode has been split into two distinct mappings.
