There are three levels of performance for the 998cc Desmosedici Stradale R V4. That extra three horsepower is produced by several changes. The electronics, which were overhauled in 2022, have new calibrations. The 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R has the same gearbox ratios used in the WSBK racebikes. The new dry clutch is lighter, another trickle-down from World Superbike. Ducati has updated its Quick Shift software. Ducati has massaged the Panigale V4 R's geometry for increased agility. The shock spring rate is reduced significantly—to 80 N/nm, from 105 N/nm last year. Aerodynamics have been updated on the 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R. Ergonomics are massaged, and that includes a new brushed aluminum fuel tank. Ducati Performance offers plenty of accessories for the superbike. You can't talk about a new Ducati without mentioning the graphics. You will have all winter to prepare for the 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R, as it won't be on showroom floors until Spring 2023. 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R Specs ENGINE PERFORMANCE CHASSIS DIMENSIONS and CAPACITIES 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R Price: $44,995 MSRP
