Bburago Ducati Panigale V4 1:18

Template information

The name "Panigale" comes from the small manufacturing town of Borgo Panigale.

The Panigale V4 is the first large-capacity Ducati road motorcycle with a V4 engine, with the Ducati using mainly V-twins since the 1960s, with the exception of prototypes and racing motorcycles. The initial development of the Panigale V4 began with the 2015 MotoGP racing engine. Ducati said that the Panigale V4 was designed to combine racing features while being a fun and outbound motorcycle with a rugged engine .

The 1103 cc Panigale V4 desmodromic 90 ° V4 engine, unlike the previous 1199 and 1299, is surrounded by a more conventional aluminum perimeter frame. The engine rotates more backwards than other Ducatis, so the pivot arm pin is connected to the rear cylinders, rather than lower on the engine near the crankshaft. Unlike most street bikes and previous Ducatis other than MotoGP racing machines, the Panigale V4 engine rotates in the opposite direction to the wheels, counteracting the gyroscopic effect and therefore reducing the force required to change the incline of the motorcycle .
