The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is described as a collector’s bike that pays homage to Ducati’s triumph in Azzurro at Mugello in 2024.
It’s bad news if you want to get your hands on a new Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia, a limited and numbered collector’s bike that will be produced in only 163 units – all examples have been accounted for!
All 163 examples of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia are signed by Francesco Bagnaia and Ducati says the bike takes enthusiasts back to the extraordinary date of 2 June 2024 when, on Republic Day, the Ducati Lenovo Team raced in the Italian Grand Prix with a special Azzurro livery, a tribute to the colour of Italy’s National sports teams, obtaining first and second place with Bagnaia and Bastianini, thus scoring a dream one-two with two Italian riders on the highest steps of the podium.
The base of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is the new V4 S. The Tricolore Italia is enriched with technical equipment as standard that improves performance on the track, making it even more unique. It is equipped with five-spoke carbon fibre wheels that reduce the weight by 0.950kg compared to the forged ones of the Panigale V4 S, lowering the moment of inertia by a claimed 12% at the front and 19% at the rear. Ducati claims that thanks to these wheels, the nimbleness of the bike increases when changing direction and the tendency of the bike to close the trajectory during acceleration when still leaning is amplified.
The new Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is also the first production bike in the world to be equipped with the Front Brake Pro+ front braking system, consisting of two finned Brembo T-Drive discs with a diameter of 338.5mm and a thickness of 6.2mm, which increase braking power and performance consistency, and GP4 Sport Production racing calipers machined from solid, homologated for road use and equipped with cooling fins. This system, used by the official Ducati riders in the 2024 Race of Champions, is derived from the racing ones used in the Superbike World Championship on the most demanding circuits. Finally, the front brake pump is an MCS 19.21 with remote brake lever position adjustment, as is the case on the MotoGP bike and the Superbike.
The special equipment of the Tricolore Italia is completed by a dry clutch, adjustable footpegs in solid aluminium, and a GPS module. Those who want to use it on the track will also have at their disposal a racing tank cap in solid aluminium, brake caliper conveyors, an open clutch cover in carbon fibre and a kit for removing the license plate holder, all supplied as standard. Other features include an Alcantara saddle, a racing plexiglass and a dedicated dashboard animation at key-on. In addition, each Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia has the original signature of Pecco Bagnaia on the tank and will be delivered in an exclusive personalized wooden crate.
Like all collectible Ducati motorcycles, this model is also made unique by the steering plate in machined from solid aluminium with the name of the model, unit number, profile of the circuit and an inscription celebrating the lap record set by Bagnaia.
The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia comes with a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated motorcycle cover, which are delivered in a special customised box created to match the livery. The unit number is also shown on the aluminium badge on the ignition key.
Finally, the uniqueness of the Tricolore Italia is reinforced by the possibility, reserved for owners, to complete its look with a limited edition professional suit, made of fine kangaroo leather, featuring a colour scheme that matches that of the bike.
As mentioned, all 163 units of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia have already been assigned.
