What’s new in design and features

Inside the cockpit, a 6.5-inch TFT with Ducati Connect manages maps, calls and music, while the V4 S gets radar-driven Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection and a new Forward Collision Warning. Underneath the sleek bodywork, the bike is built around a lightweight aluminum monocoque frame, which is key to its sharp handling and overall agility.

Engine and performance highlights

Power comes from the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo making 170 hp and 123.8 Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and bi-directional quickshifter. The extended cylinder deactivation now works in motion to reduce fuel consumption by up to 6% without dulling throttle response on open roads.
