As the replacement for Ducati’s venerated V-twin, the 2018 Ducati Panigale V4 has drawn a lot of interest amongst the Ducatisti, or Ducati fans, and we have news that it might be shown in Malaysia ahead of its Asian launch, tentatively set for June 26th. An unnamed source in Ducati informed us the Panigale V4 might have its Malaysian premiere this April, and bookings are currently being taken.
A Facebook posting by Ducati Penang shows the tentative pricing for the Panigale V4 at RM133,900 for the base model. The Panigale V4S with Ohlins suspension is going for RM173,900, while the limited edition V4 Speciale with 226 hp is set at a nose-bleeding RM359,900.
Replacing the 1299 Panigale at the top of Ducati’s superbike range, the Panigale V4 carries a 90-degree V-four Stradale engine displacing 1,103 cc, with reverse-rotating crankshaft. Power from the Stradale V-four mill is claimed to be more than 210 hp at 13,000 rpm, with torque at more than 120 Nm between 8,750 and 12,250 rpm.
The engine is fed by four oval throttle bodies with an equivalent diameter of 52 mm, coupled to variable length intake manifolds, and valve movement uses Ducati’s Desmodromic mechanical valve actuation. The famous Ducati trellis frame is now gone, replaced with a monocouque “Front Frame” that weighs only 4 kg, with the engine a load-bearing component.
Difference between the base model 2018 Ducati Panigale V4 and the V4S is the electronic suspension, with Ohlins NIX30 front fork and TTX36 rear shock. The V4 Speciale is a 1,500 unit limited edition Panigale V4 that puts out 226 hp at 13,750 rpm and 133.6 Nm of torque at 11,000 rpm.

crazy horse!!! the price..
Our ringgit is so weak. Everything from overseas seems to be a lot of money.
For the Singaporean, it is cheap money for them cause their SGD is 3.3x to the ringgit.
Tax the rich no problemo
very expensive bike.
He he he. The Panigale V4 at RM133,900(base model) while the V4S with Ohlins suspension is going for RM173,900
That is a cool RM40,000 for the Ohlins.
If that is expensive, check out the ultimate limited edition V4 Speciale with 226 hp that cost a nose-bleeding & may I say Insane RM359,900 !!!
This is an expensive piece of toy be it RM133,999 or RM359,900 Maybe this is an alternative to buying a Felali in 2 wheels as mention by john. Cheers… to Rich people spending $$$ so that the economy will grow.
Topkek spec version is almost 2X base spec version!
With our horrible weather, bad roads, reckless drivers etc etc , why would anyone want to buy such an expensive bike?
An advanced bike like this is suitable for an advanced rider and for an advanced country like the USA…
As if the US doesn’t have their fair share of their version of mat rempits …
please keep your utterly stupid comments to yourself…doesnt seem like your thinking is advanced enough even for this country.
Really cheap compare to 1299. Good job duc!
Wow..panigale v4 Rm133,900 4cylinder i love it
