Getting updates for next year is the 2027 Ducati Panigale V4 superbike, raising output to 218 hp and revising the chassis, aerodynamics and electronics for improved track performance. The latest model recorded an average lap time 0.4 seconds quicker than its predecessor at Italy’s Vallelunga circuit.

The updates draw on Ducati’s racing experience, with changes aimed at improving corner entry, front-end grip and acceleration out of turns. Revised gearing also reduces the number of gear changes required per lap.

The new Panigale V4 arrives at European Ducati dealerships from March 2027, followed by North America in April. Availability in other markets, including Malaysia, will follow in subsequent months.
