Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Difference in those variants std s and r - Panigale V4?
  • Sorry bro I perceived the question wrongly.v4 R is a race bike with a road licence. Changes are in the good as a different stroke × bore which make it quick in a track. its 998cc while v4 has 1103cc. Power is MORE than 235ps at 13000 romans torque 121 Nm which makes way to a top speed greater than 312km/hour. on the other hand v4 is having 221 ps at 13000 rpm112 Nm of torque. From outside it can be distinguished from v4 by its shark grill.,metal touch on the tank and a white line over its body.visors are hard in v4R. safey features same but on track R version shed his wright by 7 kg to 165 kg and should meet sll criteria of a race bike . In short its a race bike eith a road licence.Ducsti will give to its race team il take toThanks
  • Price !! just kidding ,before answering it Ducatis policy is to make ride safe by mechanotrnics ,here they merge mechanical and electronic engineering. Mechanical part is the suspension which automatically get adjusted depending on the bikes velocity(or speed). so now v4 is v4s which comes with ohlins electronic event control system.Here event is suspension and speed which make use of a sensor (6D) which measures how much inertia to transmit (imu..inertia measuring unit) simply telling suspension can be adjusted electronically. This is the main difference between v4 an v4s. v4r is a twin from ducati.,now discontinued. Thanks ,happy purchase
  • The 2021 Panigale V4 is available in two variants: STD V4 and V4 S. The only underlying difference between the standard V4 and V4 S is that the S features premium electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension, lighter Marchesini forged aluminum wheels, and a lithium-ion battery. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read more: Ducati Panigale V4 S: First Ride Review.
Q. Which one is better Yamaha R1 or Ducati Panigale V4 in terms of performance, riding experience and safety features?
  • It would be too early to give a verdict as Yamaha YZF R1 is not launched yet, so we would suggest you to stay tuned for the updates. On the other hand, if we talk about Ducati 2021 Panigale V4 is equipped with an 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale 90° V4, counter-rotating crankshaft, 4 Desmodromic timing, 4 valves per cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that generates a max power of 216.9 PS @ 13000 rpm and a max torque of 124 Nm @ 9500 rpm. Iti is featured with tonnes of electronic aids to put all that power down in a safe manner, Brembo Style brake calipers are the best in the world.. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
  • R1 has a 4 cylinder legacybut VR still creeps towards R1 in terms of design which is definitely European ,will last. Also it 3 versions to choose from to its service centres in main centres.
  • Panigale v4
Q. Is it worth to buy Ducati Panigale V4 when Ducati has increased the price by 4 lakh in one year when Kawasaki has reduced it (CKD) TO 18 lakh.
  • Yes bullet is a bullet ...zigwheels has explained every thing..one doubt remains ..is imperialle little unstable in very low speeds?..bullet once you start is weightless!!!
  • If your pocket and bank balance is full then just go for Panigale V4 or else there is an option of ZX-10R
  • Thanks zig wheels

    Worst platform 

    Zigwheels is the worst platform to check for any bike review.I personally do not recommend checking it here.Most of its reviews is done by those people who don't even on the bike.

    Have been using a grazia 

    Have been using a grazia since 5 years now.Not really happy with the bike.The button start won't work most of the time.I complained at the service center and they said, You have to kick start it, If you start in the morning.If you use button start all the time, It is very likely that the bike engine stops in the middle of the road.If the weather is too cold, Then kick start may not work either.Had to get it to a local garage many times to get it started.My other scooter was a scooty which worked perfectly fine in all weather.

    Better for offroading and high power 

    After driving this 1250cc it's one of the best terrain bikes with better for offroading and high power capability. This is well known for its suspension that's fabulous. The service cost is average, and it wants some regular maintenance after 23-25 days because when you do offroading with this there are some bad effects too. Worth for money, and I will give this 4.5 out of 5.

    Unusually funky 

    The bike we have here is the special 40 years anniversary edition and that’s why it comes in this unusually funky (for a gs) black and yellow colour scheme.I like most of it, And even the dull gold handlebar doesn’t look out of place, But the bright yellow handguards feel a little plasticky and their colour might be a garish for some – nothing that can’t be easily fixed with a more rugged set of aftermarket barkbusters, Though.

    Powerful Performance 

    The Ducati Panigale V4 is renowned for its powerful performance, precise handling, and cutting-edge technology. It's lauded for its aggressive styling and track-focused capabilities, making it a top choice for enthusiasts seeking high-performance motorcycles.

    There is no doubt 

    There is no doubt the design and style of panigale are much better than other bikes in the same segment, Even though the bright red color looks good on this.The sharp edges on the fuel tank look powerful and appear strong.It is available in three variants, And the standard variant costs around 30lacs starting price, Which i think is a bit on the higher side.
