The bookings for the limited-edition model have started in India and a very few units will be up for grab in our country
Ducati India has launched the Panigale V4 Tricolore Edition at a sticker price of Rs 77 lakh (ex-showroom, India) in the country. Globally limited to merely 1000 units, it comes in a unique Tricolore livery which pays homage to all things “Made in Italy” and the brand’s history. Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Edition bookings have commenced in India and a very few units of the limited-edition model will be sold in our country. The Tricolore livery has been designed by Aldo Drudi together with the Centro Stile Ducati for a collector’s bike.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati India, added“The Panigale V4 Tricolore represents the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship, design, and exclusivity. This collector’s motorcycle is a celebration of Italy, blending Ducati’s rich racing heritage with an unmistakable sense of luxury and detail that only a limited-edition creation can offer. Bringing the Panigale V4 Tricolore to India underlines our commitment to a discerning audience that appreciates rarity, authenticity, and the finest expressions of performance art on two wheels.”
Based on the standard Panigale V4, the Tricolore Edition flaunts white, red, and green livery which has been designed asymmetrically for the first time on the bike. The front number plates boast of the number one while the side fairings resemble those of the sportiest and most sophisticated Ducatis, such as the Panigale V4 R or the Multistrada Pikes Peak.
The limited-edition model rides on five-spoke carbon fiber rims which makes it lighter in weight by around 1 kg. For the record, the stock bike is offered with forged rims which are relatively heavier in weight. Ducati claims that the new Panigale V4 Tricolore is the first production bike in the world to be equipped with the Front Brake Pro front braking system, consisting of two finned Brembo T-Drive discs
Some of the notable features onboard the Panigale V4 Tricolore are dry clutch, adjustable footpegs in solid aluminum, GPS module, racing tank cap in solid aluminum, brake caliper conveyors, an open clutch cover in carbon fiber, and a kit for removing the license plate holder. A special mention goes to the Alcantara seat, the racing plexiglass, and the dedicated animation of the dashboard at key-on.
The owners of the Panigale V4 Tricolore will get a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated motorcycle cover. It is delivered in a special personalized box to match the livery while the model number is also shown on the aluminium plate of the ignition key. Last but not the least, the buyers can also reserve a limited-edition jacket, featuring a colour scheme that echoes the motorcycle’s design. Mechanically, it draws power from the same 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine which produces max power of 213 bhp at 13,500 rpm and peak torque of 122 Nm at 11,250 rpm.
