Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia unveiled, 163 units

A limited edition motorcycle from the boys Bologna, the Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia. Celebrating the the Azzurro livery of Italian National sports teams, the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia comes in a limited edition run of 163 units, made in the Ducati works in Borgo Panigale, Italy.

The livery is similar to the one on the Ducati Desmosedici with which Francesco Bagnaia and the Ducati Lenovo Team triumphed at Mugello in the 2024 Italian Grand Prix. As befits a limited edition, special Panigale, this marks the first time a production motorcycle available to the public will be fitted with Brembo GP4 Sport Production calipers and 338.5 mm discs, as used on World Superbike Championship (WSBK) racing machines.

Making the Tricolore even more unique is the provision of five-spoke carbon-fibre wheels, replacing the forged alloy units on the Panigale V4. Almost a kilogram lighter than the standard wheels, the carbon-fibre wheels reduce the moment of inertia by 12% at the front and 19% at the rear, aiding agility and handling.

Other special equipment on the Tricolore Italia includes a dry clutch, adjustable footpegs in solid aluminium, and a GPS module. For race track use, a racing tank cap in solid aluminium, brake caliper air conveyors, an open clutch cover in carbon fibre and a license plate holder delete kit is provided.

In addition, each Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is signed by twice MotoGP world champion Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia on the tank and will be delivered in an exclusive personalized wooden crate. A plate machined from solid aluminium with the bike name, edition number, outline of the circuit and inscription celebrating Pecco’s lap record is attached to the triple clamp.

The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia also comes with a certificate of authenticity and dedicated motorcycle cover, delivered in a special customised box created to match the livery. The unit number is also shown on the aluminium badge on the ignition key.

On top of everything else, owners have the option of acquiring a limited edition professional suit, made of fine kangaroo leather, featuring a colour scheme that matches that of the bike. The bad news is, if you want one, all 163 units of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia have been spoken for while the Ducati Paingale V4 in Malaysia is priced from RM182,900,
