If you ride a 2020 Ducati Panigale V4, or
the two-cylinder Panigale V2, chances are you’re a rider with a focus on
performance. To that end, the boys from Bologna have released a racing
accessories package for its high performance superbikes. While some might
consider such things to be superfluous bling for a superbike, the Panigale V4
racing accessories from Ducati do serve a purpose while looking purposefully
good. A new configurator on the Ducati website shows you the options available
and how it would look on your Panigale.
Pride of place in the racing accessories
catalogue goes to the full titanium exhaust system, made for Ducati by
Akrapovic. Coming with a specific map, the exhaust saves weight and resists
heat while adding power – a power peak of 216 hp versus the standard 208 hp,
according to Ducati.
A set of race fairings, consisting of a
front cowl, and left and right upper and lower fairings, is available unpainted
and ready to accept racing livery. The fairings are required if the Akrapovic
racing exhaust is used and the cowl has a tall screen option derived from
Ducati’s World Superbike Championship racing machines.
Other accessories include carbon-fiber
engine, swingarm and frame covers, designed to either reduce weight or crash
damage when the worst happens. Rizoma makes the brake lever protection guard
and mounting set which prevents accidental bake actuation in close quarters
racing.
