REVISION: Ducati Panigale V4 R

Ducati seduced the crowds at EICMA this year. The Italian brand has launched a series of new high performance machines at home.

The star of the series is the breathtaking Panigale V4 R. Superbikes are often described as Moto GP road bikes, but here they are even more precise.

First, there is the performance, which comes from a smaller 998cc engine that complies with the new WSBK regulations. Despite a reduced size, the delivered power rises to 234 hp with the full race exhaust.
The weight of the bike is also reduced by 2 kg on the V4S, for a total empty weight of 193 kg.

The addition of MotoGP style winglets on the front fascia adds to the visual drama.
The Ducati Multistrada competes with the GS with a new addition to the range: the 950 S.

This smaller Multistrada boasts significant enhancements and new technologies, such as a fully LED headlamp, a 5-inch TFT color dashboard and backlit switchgear.

The new ABS corner and suspension suspension Ducati Skyhook, as well as the addition of a quickshifter for changes without clutch, are at the rendezvous.

The Hypermotard 950 is a brand new model for 2019. With a better appearance and improvements in the driving position, the 937cc Testestretta motorcycle weighs also 4 kg less than its predecessor.

The engine pumps 114 hp, which makes it even more smiling, and a new electronic box makes it more manageable. Traction Control Evo, Wheelie Control and a quick adjustment device.

If you want even more fun, a Hypermotard 950 SP is also planned. Its seat is flatter, its suspension Öhlins longer and forged wheels Marchesini.

The Monster range also gets a new model in the form of the Monster 821 Stealth, which includes a matte black paint, red graphics and a quickshifter.

The new Diavel 1260 completes the 2019 range. The previous version of this machine is one of my favorite cruisers; quickly fast and manages like nothing else in the clbad.

The Diavel 1260 uses the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine with 159 hp and 129 Nm.

The engineers tweaked the chbadis to make the bike more responsive. It retains this 240-section rear wheel offering lean angles.
