Model History & Updates

2019: Track focused V4 R launched with smaller but more powerful engine, Carbon winglets, cooling gills, semi-naked fuel tank and 2 kg shaved off the weight but no electronic suspension.

2019: £25,800 track only version of the V4 S called the V4 S Corse with a special colour scheme and no plate or mirrors.

2020: Ducati bought over a few bits from the V4 R. Specifically the wings and cooling gills, the lighter front frame and the Evo 2 traction control. They also tweaked the suspension to be a tiny bit taller, improved the quickshifter and revised the engine mapping to make the first few gears smoother.

2021: Euro 5 compliant, new EVO 3 traction control, Race A / Race B modes, self bleeding clutch and brake master cylinders from the Superleggera and heated grips now an option.

2022: New thinner winglets with less drag, 212.5 bhp at 13,000 rpm, maximum torque at 9,500 rpm, new oil pump, larger exhaust outlets, new gear ratios, Low / Medium / High / Full power modes, 5 mm more suspension travel, Track Evo dash display mode, improved seat and a 1 litre larger tank.
