Panigale V4 Champion Edition WILL
Ducati celebrates the dual victories of MotoGP and WorldSBK titles by creating two special Panigale V4 models inspired by the Desmosedici GP and Panigale V4 R by world champions Francesco Bagnaia and Álvaro Bautista.
2022 has been an incredible year for Ducati. The Bologna-based manufacturer is the World Champion for the first time in its history in both MotoGP and WorldSBK in the same season. A dream result has come true thanks to the exceptional work of the engineers, team and drivers. A double victory that Ducati wants to celebrate with two unique collectible models.
Two special series, produced on the basis of the Panigale V4 S, will feature the bikes of Pecco Bagnaia #63 and Álvaro Bautista #19. Each motorcycle in the series will be uniquely crafted with the rider’s original signature on the fuel tank, which will then be protected with a clear clear gloss finish. The two motorcycles, produced in limited numbers, are numbered to celebrate Ducati’s birth year. In fact, each series will only include 260 pieces, in honor of 1926, the year the company was founded.
Like the racing bikes they inspired, the Panigale V4 2022 World Champion Replica bikes are offered only in single-seat configurations and are enhanced by a billet aluminum top clamp with laser engraving of the model name and forward number.
The technical equipment boasts the use of a nine-disc STM-EVO SBK dry clutch, Akrapovič street-legal silencer (2 kg lighter than the original Panigale V4), Brembo brakes are enhanced by Stylema R clamps and MCS master cylinders with remote control, Rizoma billet aluminum adjustable footrests and racing glass.
Other technical details that characterize these particular bikes are the rear exhaust heat shield, alternator cap, front and rear fenders, front brake hoses, all made of carbon fiber.
Also made of carbon fiber, in combination with titanium, is the shell that protects the one-sided swingarm.
Finally, the series dedicated to Álvaro Bautista #19 features a brushed aluminum fuel tank on more refined versions of the Panigale V4.
Each bike will be delivered in a box packed with dedicated graphics and will come with a certificate of authenticity, a custom bike cover and the Ducati Data Analyzer+ data collection system.
Those looking to take advantage of the performance of these two motorcycles on the track will be able to mount the additional accessories provided, such as a carbon fiber opening clutch cover, license plate and mirror removal kits along with Aluminum billet aluminum fuel cap.
