Our take on this /// Verdict
The Ducati Panigale R is a marvel of engineering and a true beast on the roads of India. This superbike is designed for the thrill-seekers and track enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled riding experience. With its sleek design focused on aerodynamics, the Panigale R cuts through the air with ease, providing a smooth and incredibly fast ride. However, it comes with a hefty price tag and high maintenance costs, which can be a deterrent for many. The lack of Ducati workshops in certain regions, such as Tamil Nadu, adds to the maintenance challenges. Despite these drawbacks, the Panigale R remains a spectacular choice for those who crave the ultimate in performance and are willing to invest in its upkeep.
Price
In India, the Ducati Panigale R is positioned as a premium product, reflecting its high-performance capabilities and exclusive nature. The ex-showroom price for the Ducati Panigale R can range from around 50 lakh to 60 lakh, depending on the specific variant and any customizations. Once you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can easily exceed 65 lakh. This significant investment underscores the bikes status as a luxury item, catering to a niche market of serious bikers and collectors. The high price is justified by the bikes advanced technology, superior build quality, and the exclusive experience it offers.

Ducati has unveiled the 2024 Panigale V4 R, a bike that adopts technical solutions previously reserved for MotoGP and WorldSBK Championship. This model boasts a 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R engine, capable of reaching 16,500 rpm and delivering 207 hp at 13,500 rpm. The bike also features advanced electronics, including Power Modes, a new “Track Evo” display, and refined Ducati Traction Control. I think this bike is a dream for any serious track enthusiast.

The 2024 Ducati Panigale V4 R has undergone significant aerodynamic improvements, including new two-element wings that are more compact and thinner, yet maintain the same aerodynamic load. This design change enhances the bikes efficiency and handling. The Öhlins NPX25/30 pressurized fork and Öhlins TTX36 shock absorber also contribute to its nimbleness and grip. This attention to detail makes it a top contender on the track.

Ducati has announced that the Panigale V4 R will be priced at Rs. 36,49,000 in India, making it one of the most expensive and exclusive bikes available in the market. The bike is set to arrive in Indian dealerships later this year. Given its performance and features, its clear why it comes with such a hefty price tag.

The Panigale V4 R features a special oil developed by Shell in collaboration with Ducati Corse, which is designed to enhance the bikes performance. When combined with the racing exhaust, the bike can reach an extraordinary 240.5 hp. This is a clear indication of Ducatis commitment to pushing the limits of what a production bike can achieve.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 01:08 PM
When it comes to mileage, the Ducati Panigale R is not designed for fuel efficiency but for raw power and performance. Users can expect a mileage of around 10-15 kmpl in city riding conditions and slightly better on the highways, but this can vary significantly based on riding style and conditions. Given its high-performance engine, the Panigale R is not for those concerned about fuel economy it is for those who prioritize speed and the thrill of the ride.

I am approaching 300 miles on this beautiful machine and loving every second of it. I feel good when it grabs attention instantly like every Ducati get. Its power delivery is fantastic and it's as comfortable to ride as other sports bike. Initially, I faced difficulty in handling because of its slanting seating position and because of that I sometimes felt pain in my wrist also. Now, I am used to it and handle it very comfortably in the traffic. One more thing I would like to mention here that only person with a good height can ride it easily, this is not the game of short height person. As these sports bike are not meant for daily commute, So the mileage figure doesn't matters to me. Those who are looking for fuel efficient bike, please check Passion XPro or Pulsar. The only complain I have in this bike is side stand which I feel very hard to get down most of the time I end putting it down with my hand.
