Ducati Panigale V4 R: Variants, Prices and What You Get

Unlike the standard Panigale V4 family - which spans three variants (V4, V4 S, V4 SP2) across a price range of Rs 29.99 lakh to Rs 40.99 lakh - the Panigale V4 R is a single-specification, limited-production model. There is no 'base' or 'top' trim to choose from. Every unit gets the full Öhlins suspension package, the Brembo Stylema brakes, the Corner Sidepods aerodynamic kit, and the Ducati Racing Gearbox with neutral-below-first as standard.

The ex-showroom price across India is Rs 84.99 lakh. Being a CBU (Completely Built Up) import - assembled in Bologna and shipped to India - the on-road price varies significantly by state, driven by the differing RTO registration tax structure. In Delhi, the on-road price works out to approximately Rs 93.30 lakh. In Bangalore, which has a higher registration tax structure for premium vehicles, it climbs to approximately Rs 1.03 crore on-road.

Each unit carries a unique serial number, making the V4 R a collector-grade motorcycle as much as a performance tool. Ducati India allocates a very limited number of units per model year - if you're serious about buying one, speak to your nearest Ducati dealership before the allocation closes. Past experience with the V4 R shows that India receives fewer than 20-30 units annually.

Accessories: Ducati's own accessory catalogue for the V4 R includes a Termignoni full racing exhaust system (which brings power up to 235+ bhp and removes the catalytic converter - track use only), a data logging kit, pit lane speed limiter, and carbon fibre body panels. Budget an additional Rs 5-10 lakh if you plan to build a full track-spec bike.

For buyers choosing between the Panigale V4 family, the decision is fairly straightforward: the V4 and V4 S (Rs 29.99-35 lakh) are road-biased sportsbikes that happen to be brilliant on track. The V4 SP2 (Rs 40.99 lakh) adds carbon wheels and some track-spec components. The V4 R at Rs 84.99 lakh is a different category entirely - it is built to a WorldSBK homologation brief and happens to be road-registered. If you're not planning to use a track regularly, the V4 S gives you 90% of the experience at less than half the price.

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow many variants does the Ducati Panigale V4 R come in?▾
The Ducati Panigale V4 R is available in a single variant at Rs 84.99 lakh ex-showroom, in Ducati Red only. Unlike the broader Panigale V4 range - which offers STD, S, and SP2 variants - the V4 R is a single full-specification model with no trim options to choose from.
QWhat is the difference between the Ducati Panigale V4 R and V4 S?▾
The Panigale V4 R (Rs 84.99 lakh) and V4 S (approximately Rs 35 lakh) differ fundamentally in purpose. The V4 R uses a 998cc race-homologated engine with 221 bhp, Öhlins fully manual suspension, MotoGP-derived Corner Sidepods, and a Racing Gearbox - all designed for circuit use. The V4 S is a road-biased sportsbike with electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension; far more liveable on Indian roads and roughly Rs 50 lakh cheaper.
QWhich Panigale V4 variant offers the best value for money in India?▾
For most Indian buyers, the Panigale V4 S (approximately Rs 35 lakh ex-showroom) offers the best value - it delivers a genuinely thrilling superbike experience with electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension, making it more usable on public roads than the V4 R. The V4 R at Rs 84.99 lakh is only worth the premium if you have dedicated track access and budget for the higher running costs.
QDoes the Ducati Panigale V4 R get dual-channel ABS on all variants?▾
Yes - the Ducati Panigale V4 R comes with dual-channel cornering ABS as standard on its single available variant. The system is IMU-assisted with three sensitivity settings and can be fully disabled for track use, making it practical for both road registration requirements and circuit performance.
