2020 Ducati Panigale V4

The 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 continues the legendary Italian marque’s celebrated history of producing style-driven, performance-first Vee-engined sportbikes.

2020 Ducati Panigale V4


The 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 continues the Italian manufacturer’s celebrated history of creating powerful, sharply styled, high-performing motorcycles that have stood toe to toe with their Japanese counterparts. Ducati took a cue from its race-winning MotoGP effort and replaced the iconic V-twin that most recently powered the Panigale 1299 with a high-revving, 90-degree 1,103cc V4.


Released in 2018, Ducati continues the Panigale V4 platform through the 2020 model year, tweaking the Panigale V4 platform for rideability and adding the Panigale V2 to its sportbike lineup.

The Panigale V4 Speciale comes with a factory Akrapovič full exhaust that bumps its power up to a claimed 223 hp and price tag up above the other models.

Ducati claims the 2020 Panigale V4 produces 214 hp (157.5 kilowatts) at 13,000 rpm and 91.5 pound-feet of torque at 10,000 rpm. On our in-house dyno, the Ducati Panigale V4 S produced 187.45 hp (139.78 kilowatts) at 13,120 rpm and 80.77 pound-feet of torque at 11,290 rpm.
