Ducati lists 208.4 hp in standard US specification; higher figures apply only to closed-course racing-exhaust setups. The “most exciting” label is an editorial judgment, not a verified ranking against other 2026 sports bikes.
What makes the 2026 Panigale V4 R different?
Ducati presented the V4 R on September 23, 2025, describing it as a model based on the seventh-generation Panigale V4 and engineered to respect WorldSBK championship regulations. Its defining features include a 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R V4, MotoGP-derived Corner Sidepods, and a Ducati Racing Gearbox (DRG) with Ducati Neutral Lock (DNL), which places neutral below first gear.

Ducati calls the V4 R the first road-homologated motorcycle with Corner Sidepods and the first production motorcycle with the DRG/DNL arrangement. Those are manufacturer claims, not independently established comparisons. The sidepods are part of its aerodynamic concept; the unusual gear layout is intended to support racing use.
How much horsepower does the 2026 Panigale V4 R make?
In standard US specification, Ducati lists maximum power of 208.4 hp (153.3 kW) at 13,250 rpm and torque of 113.7 Nm (84 lb-ft) at 12,000 rpm. These are Ducati’s published figures, not independent test results. See the Ducati USA model specifications.

Ducati also publishes higher outputs for specific racing setups: its 2025 announcement cites 235 hp with a racing exhaust and 238.5 hp with that exhaust plus Ducati Corse oil, while its current US model page lists 239 hp at 15,570 rpm with racing exhaust and Shell Performance Oil. These figures describe different specified accessory and oil combinations, not standard road trim. Ducati says the racing exhaust is for closed-course circuit vehicles only and that public-road use is prohibited by law.

Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Road specification versus track setup
The distinction matters most when comparing power or considering accessories. The standard output above is the relevant Ducati figure for the listed US road model. The enhanced horsepower numbers are attached to specified racing-exhaust configurations, and Ducati explicitly restricts the racing exhaust to closed-course use. Ducati’s announcement also names track accessories such as DAVC Race Pro software; the presence of an accessory option does not make it standard equipment or establish road legality for a modified configuration.

For a meaningful comparison with another superbike, use the same basis on both sides: standard road-legal output rather than track-kit output, price in the same market with the same fee treatment, weight measured on the same basis, and standard equipment separated from options. Ducati’s specifications alone do not establish a ranking against competing motorcycles.
