The 2026 Ducati Panigale V4 R has been launched in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 85 lakh, making it one of the most expensive and exclusive superbikes in the country. Designed as a homologation model for World Superbike racing, the Panigale V4 R represents Ducati’s ultimate track-focused motorcycle, aimed at serious riders and collectors.
Powering the bike is a 998cc Desmosedici Stradale R V4 engine, producing around 215 bhp in standard form, with the potential to go beyond 230 bhp when fitted with a racing exhaust. The engine is capable of revving up to 16,500 rpm, delivering blistering acceleration and top-end performance that closely mirrors Ducati’s racing machines.
The 2026 model features MotoGP-inspired aerodynamics, including larger biplane wings and newly designed side fairings that improve stability and downforce at high speeds. It also comes equipped with a lightweight aluminium chassis, fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, and top-spec Brembo braking hardware, ensuring exceptional handling and stopping power on both road and track.
In terms of electronics, the Panigale V4 R is loaded with advanced rider aids such as cornering ABS, traction control, slide control, wheelie control, quickshifter, and multiple riding modes. A large TFT display provides detailed performance data, making the bike as intelligent as it is powerful. With its extreme performance, cutting-edge technology, and limited availability, the 2026 Ducati Panigale V4 R stands as one of the most advanced superbikes available in India.
