Akrapovic Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 A unit that appears to be the Ducati Panigale V4 Superleggera has been hunted by MCN rolling in the testing phase. The use of superlight materials such as carbon in large doses seems to indicate that this is undoubtedly this exclusive model. The whole body is made of this light and resistant material, as well as the 10-arm (5 double) wheels, which are the same as the 1299 Superleggera twin-cylinder. In the V2 the small chassis that joins the pipe with the fork was also carbon (remember that both V2 and v4 use the engine as a structural part), although in the photos it cannot be appreciated if it is also of this material in the V4. It is clearly visible that adopts the ailerons of the V4 R, but we would bet that the engine is 1,103 c.c. of the V4 S, and not the 998 c.c. of R. The exhaust is titanium, in a version that seems different from the optional leaks of the Performance catalog. From the engine itself nothing more can be done than suppose. What is clear is that it will be Euro5 and that it should be something more powerful than the standard V4. As for the suspensions, they are Öhlins, but not electronic, for that of saving weight: the shock absorber seems to be a TTX 36 and the fork could be an NPX.
