Ducati Panigale V4 S Review, Road Test, BikeReview

Ducati press models arrived late in Australia due to COVID-19, so we were not able to test the new Panigale V4 S until December. The new V4 S has a huge amount of changes and refinements over the previous model, including updated EVO3 Ducati Traction Control, updated DSC, DWC, DPL, DQS, EBC, DES and ride modes that include two Race Modes, Street Mode and Sport Mode.
The rake and trail remain but rear ride height is up 5mm, the forks are 4mm lower and the COG is 5mm higher. The front frame is now the same as that on the 2019 Panigale V4R, with more flex and feedback for 2020.

An all-new styling and aero package is features as well along with lots more. Check out the video to see what we thought! Test: Jeff Ware Pics/Vid: Heather Ware - HMC Photography.

The previous 2019 version without the winglets and the narrower fairings look so much better.
Would the standard V4 base model be better for track days vs the V4s with dynamic active suspension.
