The Panigale V4 electronic package includes: 
ABS Cornering Bosch EVO 
Ducati Traction Control EVO (DTC EVO) 
Ducati Slide Control (DSC) 
Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC EVO) 
Ducati Power Launch (DPL) 
Ducati Quick Shift up/down EVO (DQS EVO) 
Engine Brake Control EVO (EBC EVO) 
Ducati Electronic Suspension EVO (DES EVO) 

1. The 1103cc Stradale V4 produces a 214 horsepower at 13,000 rpm, and 96 ft/lbs of torque at 10,000 rpm—all in the sexiest mechanical voice ever. The powerplant, up 17 horsepower over the race-focused 1299 Panigale—though down 15 ft/lbs of torque—revs extremely quickly to the 14,500 redline. The motor required 110 percent focus as I topped out fifth gear on the Valencia’s front straight at just over 170 mph.

2. The sweet spot on the racetrack is from 8,000 to 12,000 rpm. The torque is immediately available when exiting a corner, or adding some speed on Valencia’s long sweeping left before the front stretch. Although that’s the sweet spot, torque is available throughout the power range, which will make the Panigale V4 an optimal street bike.

3. The engine arrives with a Twin Pulse ignition that replicates the firing order of a V-twin. This provided a feel, and sound, similar to the 1299 twin at lower rpm. However, when the motor gets above 10,000 rpm, it is something completely new. Ducati also used a Twin Pulse ignition on the highly collectable Desmosedici RR from a decade ago, which happens to share the Panigale V4’s 81mm bore. To get the V-twin feel, the two left-hand cylinders fire close together, as do the two right-hand cylinders—a 0°, 90°, 290° and 360° firing order.
4. The 2018 Ducati Panigale V4, which is naturally balanced due to its 90-degree design (no balance shaft needed), has a counter-rotating crankshaft that reduces the gyroscopic effect. 
5. Due to revised fueling system, the Ducati Panigale V4 has extremely responsive and smooth throttle response.
6. The Panigale V4’s Evo electronic suite is improved tremendously over the 1299, especially in regards to traction control, Bosch cornering ABS, and wheelie control.
7. Other electronics include Ducati’s Engine Brake Control, plus a quickshifter for clutchless up and downshifts. 
8. The newest edition in Ducati electronics is Slide Control, which helps slide the back tire when backing it in.
9. I tested a Panigale V4 S model, which is upgraded over the base model with Ducati Electronic Suspension Evo.
10. Accessing and changing the settings for the suspension and electronics has never been easier. 
11. The Panigale retains the monocoque frame, but it’s completely refined for the V4.
12. The light frame and swingarm help bring the Panigale V4 S’s claimed curb weight to 430 pounds, which is 11 pounds more than the 1299 Panigale R FE.
13. Also attributing to agile handling of the 2018 Ducati Panigale V4 is its front/rear weight distribution of 45.5/54.5.
14. The Panigale V4 receives the all-new Brembo Stylema brake calipers.
15. The 2018 Ducati Panigale V4 S and upgraded Speciale both sport Marchesini aluminum forged wheels that are wrapped in new Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires (200/60 rear; 120/70 front). 
16. The Panigale V4’s fairings are completely redesigned for better aerodynamics, and I never suffered head buffeting. 
17. The new V4 also takes some knowledge from MotoGP, and includes a gas tank that continues under the rider seat. 
18. It’s tough for an engine producing 200+ horsepower to not make loads of heat. 
19. The V4 provided all-day comfort, whether on the seat or hanging off.
20. Finally, a Panigale is equipped with a simple dash layout!
21. Speaking of gripes, the main one I had with the V4 was minor, but a PITA—the kickstand.
22. I also rode a fully accessorized bike, which was highlighted by an extremely awesome sounding Akrapovic exhaust that helps create a claimed 226 horsepower.
23. The 2018 Ducati Panigale V4 S is definitely a fun track weapon, but due to comfort, lack of heat, and electronics that add to overall safety, it will make an optimal street bike.
24. If you were considering a 1299, budget an extra couple grand for the 2018 Ducati Panigale V4.
