The Panigale V4 MY23 represents the last step in the characteristic path of Borgo Panigale's sports bikes. As is the case with motorcycles engaged in MotoGP and WorldSBK, the Panigale V4 is updated and improved year after year, and the 2022 version represents the most significant evolution since its launch year. For MY2023, a series of electronic improvements have been introduced that make the bike even easier and more intuitive for riders of all levels.
The most significant updates to the 2022 version affect every aspect of the bike: aerodynamics, engine, chassis, ergonomics, and electronics. The end result is a bike that is even faster on the track and at the same time increasingly intuitive and less fatiguing, which is as high performance in the hands of the professional rider as it is rewarding for an amateur.
The 2022 improvements have been confirmed though a special testing on the Vallelunga racing track, in Italy. The Panigale V4 S 2021 and the 2022 version both equipped with Pirelli SC1 tyres gained centre-stage, ridden by two testers joined by the pro-rider Michele Pirro. At the end of the day, it turned out that the first tester improved his best lap on the new Panigale V4 S 2022 by 0.9 seconds, the second by 1.2 second, while Michele Pirro was faster by half a second, lapping just three seconds from his best time in Race 1 at Vallelunga, on the occasion of this year’s Italian Superbike Championship, where, however, he raced counting on the most performing SCX compound.
