DUCATI Panigale V4 SP2 (2023) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2023 Ducati Panigale lineup comprised three models: the Panigale V4, V4 S, and V$ SP2. The new machines came with an improved electrical system that enhanced performance, making it easier to handle and intuitive for riders of all experience levels.

The 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 SP2 was equipped with a full aggressive fairing, a twin headlight design, a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat, twin five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels, and a single-sided swingarm.

The Panigale V4 was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Ducati from 2018, being the first large-production machine made by the Italian manufacturer with a V4 engine derived from the Desmosedici MotoGP racing unit. The bike was named after the small manufacturing town of Borgo Panigale.

In addition, for all the owners of the 2022 Ducati Panigale V4, V4 S, and V4 SP2 models, the maker made available the same updates as the 2023 lineup, with a simple intervention made at a Ducati Service starting with July 2023.

The 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 SP2 was powered by a Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine with a counter-rotating crankshaft and an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 216 hp with a maximum peak force at 13,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) torque at 9,500 rpm.

The bike's suspension was handled by a fully adjustable 43 mm Showa telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable Sachs shock on the rear. Two 330 mm discs on the front and a 245 mm disc on the end achieved the braking power.
