Italian superbike aficionados have reason to rejoice as Ducati, the renowned manufacturer of high-performance motorcycles, has recently unveiled five special limited-edition Panigale superbikes. These Collector’s Edition bikes are a homage to Ducati’s record-breaking 2023 racing season, featuring liveries inspired by the iconic racing bikes of Bagnaia, Bautista, Bulega, Martin, and Bezzecchi from MotoGP, WorldSBK, and WorldSSP racing series. The exclusive unveiling took place at the prestigious “Campioni in Festa” event.
A Limited-Edition Triumph
The limited-edition Panigale bikes, set to be delivered to customers from July 2024, comprise four Panigale V4s and one Panigale V2, each part of a numbered series. Each bike will bear the original signature of the rider on the tank, adding a personalized touch, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. As a testament to Ducati’s commitment to enthusiasts, technical equipment for each model and a wooden shipping crate will also be included.
Tributes to Racing Glory
The Panigale V4s pay homage to the triumphant racing careers of Francesco Bagnaia (63), Jorge Martin (89), and Marco Bezzecchi (72) in MotoGP, following the team’s victories in 2022 and 2023. Meanwhile, a Panigale V4R commemorates the WordSBK triumph of Alvaro Bautista (19). The collection is completed with a special Panigale V2 dedicated to Nicolo Bulega (11) for securing the WorldSSP title in the current year.
High-Performance Features
The four Panigale V4s, based on the “S” model, boast a range of high-performance features. This includes a nine-disc STM-EVO SBK dry clutch, an Akrapovic homologated silencer, and a Brembo braking system with Stylema R calipers and MCS master cylinder with remote adjust. The billet aluminum adjustable footpegs add to the bikes’ ergonomic appeal. Notably, the lone Panigale V2 stands out with Ohlins suspension, Akrapovic racing silencers, and adjustable Rizoma rider footpegs. Additionally, carbon-fiber components such as front and rear mudguards, chain guard, clutch cover guard, shock absorber guard, and swingarm guard enhance both performance and aesthetics.
