2021 Ducati Superleggera V4 First Look | Test Drive and Design | Wheelspeedia
This Video contains 2021 Ducati Superleggera V4 First Look and Test Drive. It is slightly surprising that the Superleggera V4 uses the 998 cc Panigale V4 R engine rather than the larger 1103 cc powerplant used by the more road-biased Panigale models. The V4 R comes in under the liter mark to qualify for World Superbike competition and it seems Ducati decided that the race pedigree of the V4 R engine is of more value to customers of the Superleggera V4 than the more cubes approach of the V4 S. The 998 cc engine is also 2.8 kg lighter than the 1103 cc variant. A dry clutch and individual manual adjustment of the Desmodromic timing system are more bespoke items on the Superleggera. The claimed benchmark numbers are something to behold, 224 horsepower (234 hp with the supplied full exhaust fitted), motivating a lithe 159 kilograms in full road time would have been deemed virtually impossible not that many years ago. But here we have it in a street-legal bike from Bologna.
