2025 Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore
A tribute to Made in Italy and Ducati history: the Panigale V4 Tricolore. A collector’s bike produced in just 1000 numbered units that revisits aspects of the the livery of the 1984 750 F1, a bike that began, exactly forty years ago, the history of modern supersport bikes from Borgo Panigale. A Tricolore livery that in the following years was dedicated to the most prestigious versions of the various generations of Ducati Superbikes, ever since the first 851 Desmoquattro in 1988.
For Ducati, the Panigale V4 Tricolore is the latest innovation of 2024. It has been an incredible year, in which the Borgo Panigale-based company has won the MotoGP Riders’ and Manufacturers’ titles for the third time in a row, coming close to absolute domination with nineteen victories out of twenty Grand Prix.
Added to this are the World Manufacturers’ title in Superbike, the Riders’ title in Supersport, and the Italian title on debut with the 450 MX in the Italian Motocross.
There were also many national victories, including the Italian Superbike and the U.S. Superbike, which marked Ducati’s return to victory in the U.S. after 30 years. Josh Waters won the 2024 Australian Superbike Championship, and last but not least, the historic successes in the Japanese Superbike Championship of the Panigale V4 managed by the Kagayama team.
The Panigale V4 Tricolore, proudly designed by Drudi Performance and the Centro Stile Ducati, is based on the new Panigale V4. Its white, red, and green livery, proposed for the first time on the bike in an asymmetric version, celebrates the colors of the Italian flag by combining them with the black and white of the chequered flag, the symbol of victory, shown on the lower part of the fairing. The number plates with the number one, on the front and on the sides of the fairing, recall those of the sportiest and most sophisticated Ducatis, such as the Panigale V4 R or the Multistrada Pikes Peak.
A livery that underlines the aerodynamic surfaces of the bike, with more taut lines that highlight the change in style that marked, with the Panigale V4 2025, the transition from the sixth to the seventh generation of Ducati Superbikes.
For the first time in Ducati history, a Tricolore is enriched with technical equipment that improves its performance on the track, making this bike even more unique.
The Panigale V4 Tricolore is in fact equipped with five-spoke carbon fibre rims that reduce the weight by 0.950 kg compared to the forged ones of the Panigale V4 S, lowering the moment of inertia by 12 per cent at the front and 19 per cent at the rear. Thanks to these rims, the nimbleness of the bike increases when changing direction and the tendency of the bike to close the trajectory during acceleration when still leaning is amplified.
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 measuring 338.5 mm in diameter and 6.2 mm thick, which increase braking power and performance consistency. These discs, tested by Ducati Factory Riders in the 2024 Race of Champions, are derived from the racing discs mounted in the Superbike World Championship on the most demanding circuits and are paired with HypureTM calipers.
The calipers feature a titanium anodising treatment and an oversized Brembo logo. Finally, the front brake pump is an MCS 19.21 with remote brake lever position adjustment, as is the case on MotoGP and Superbike.
The special equipment of the Tricolore is completed by a dry clutch, adjustable foot-pegs in solid aluminum, and a GPS module.
Anyone who wants to use the Panigale V4 Tricolore on the track will also have access to a racing tank cap in solid aluminum, brake caliper conveyors, open clutch cover in carbon fibre and a kit for removing the licence plate holder, all supplied as standard.
The experience of riding this collector’s bike will be made even more special thanks to the Alcantara seat, the racing plexiglass, and the dedicated animation of the dashboard at key-on.
Finally, each Tricolore, like all collectible Ducatis, is made unique by the steering plate in machined aluminum from solid with the model’s name and unit number.
The Panigale V4 Tricolore is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated motorcycle cover, which are delivered in a special personalised box made to match the livery. The model number is also shown on the aluminum plate of the ignition key.
Finally, the uniqueness of the Tricolor is reinforced by the option, reserved for owners, to complete their look with a limited-edition helmet and jacket featuring a color scheme that echoes that of the motorcycle.
The Ducati V4 Panigale Tricolore is expected to hit Australia in August, 2025, and will retail for $84,700 Ride Away.
