2019 Ducati Panigale V4 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Ducati's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Ducati Panigale V4 R relies on a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 217.3 HP (158.6 kW) at 15,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 lb-ft) at 11,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 217.7 HP per liter and a 3,750 rpm working window between peak torque (11,500 rpm) and peak power (15,250 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Panigale V4 R measures 193 kg (425 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.13 HP/kg (0.89 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,471 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 232 km (144 miles) between fill-ups.
