Ducati Drop Single-Sided Swingarm - Panigale V4 2025
With the presentation of their new Panigale V4 for 2025, Ducati have announced the reintroduction of a conventional swingarm for their top-of-the-line superbikes. Despite a step forward in performance and rideability based on their success with the Desmosedici in MotoGP, this move is controversial for many Ducatista. It reminds me of the debate and situation around the Ducati 999. In this video, I discuss the pros and cons as well as potential reasons behind their decision.
Desmo Diaries is a new series on my channel in which I discuss a variety of topics ranging from anything Ducati to racing, such as WSBK or MotoGP, and motorcycle trends in general.
