Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore launched at Rs 77 lakh, limited to 1,000 units worldwide
India Today
Ducati has brought the exclusive Panigale V4 Tricolore to India shores, celebrating four decades of racing heritage with a limited-run superbike.
Ducati has introduced the Panigale V4 Tricolore in India, a limited-run collector’s edition superbike created to celebrate Italian heritage and the brand’s racing legacy. Limited to just 1,000 numbered units globally, only a handful of motorcycles will be allocated to the Indian market. Bookings are now open, with prices set at Rs 77 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Panigale V4 Tricolore draws inspiration from the iconic 1984 Ducati 750 F1, marking four decades since the debut of the original Tricolore livery. Over the years, the Tricolore badge has been reserved for Ducati’s most exclusive superbikes, starting with the 851 Desmoquattro in 1988. This latest iteration continues that tradition, combining heritage with cutting-edge technology.
Designed by Aldo Drudi in collaboration with Centro Stile Ducati, the Panigale V4 Tricolore is based on the latest-generation Panigale V4. It features a new asymmetric Tricolore livery, white, red and green paired with black-and-white chequered flag graphics on the lower fairing. Number ‘1’ plates on the front and side fairings echo Ducati’s race-focused models such as the Panigale V4 R and Multistrada Pikes Peak.
The livery also highlights the redesigned aerodynamic surfaces introduced with the 2025 Panigale V4, which marks Ducati’s transition to the seventh generation of its superbike platform. These changes are part of a broader evolution that includes a revised chassis, integrated aerodynamics and advanced electronics.
For the first time in Ducati history, a Tricolore model receives significant performance-enhancing hardware aimed at track use. The Panigale V4 Tricolore is equipped with five-spoke carbon fibre wheels that are approximately 0.9 kg lighter than the forged wheels on the Panigale V4 S. This results in a reduction in rotational inertia of 12 per cent at the front and 19 per cent at the rear, improving agility and responsiveness.
Another world-first for a production motorcycle is the Front Brake Pro braking system. It uses twin 338.5 mm Brembo T-Drive finned discs with a thickness of 6.2 mm, paired with Brembo Hypure calipers finished in anthracite anodising. The system is derived from World Superbike-spec components and was tested by Ducati factory riders during the 2024 Race of Champions. Braking duties are further enhanced by a Brembo MCS 19.21 master cylinder with remote lever adjustment, similar to setups used in MotoGP and WorldSBK.
