The Panigale family, which was named after the town of Borgo Panigale, was born in 2011 and includes sports motorcycles manufactured by Ducati. Replacing the Ducati conventional frame, the motorcycles from the Panigale family use a monocoque frame. In 2015 Ducati introduced the Panigale R.

The race bike gets its power from the 1198cc, Superquadro Desmodromic liquid-cooled engine. Ran through a six-speed gearbox, the R is putting out 196 hp at 11,750 rpm and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) of torque. Well hidden in plain sight, the exhaust looks like an integrated body part with twin titanium mufflers and carbon fiber end caps.

Like I said earlier, the conventional frame was replaced by the monocoque aluminum one which uses the engine as a stressed member. The ride is handled by Ohlin's fully adjustable fork in the front and a fully adjustable unit at the back.

The Panigale R is braking with the help of two Brembo 330 mm discs at the front and 245 mm at the rear. The wheels are made from forged aluminum in a three-spoke shape and worn as shoes, some Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires.

The 2015 Panigale R’s dry weight is 162 kg (357 lbs) and can reach an estimated speed of 325 kph (202 mph). In 2022, The Panigale R was for sale with prices starting from $18,000.
