The Desmosedici Stradale was developed to combine racing performance with all the necessities for road use. The engine has a larger displacement than the MotoGP, 1,103 cm3 to be precise, to maximize the mid-range torque qualities that are so important for the bike's enjoyability on roads open to traffic, and to obtain torque and power at lower revs.
On the new Panigale, the Desmosedici Stradale engine takes an evolutionary step that enables it to comply with the stringent Euro 5+ regulations and the inseverance of noise tests. It can even boast a slight increase in maximum power of 0.5 hp. Added to this is the use of lightened components that allow the engine's weight to be reduced by 1 kg also with benefits in terms of inertia reduction.

Beneath the carbon skin lies the more powerful and lighter Desmosedici Stradale R. The Superleggera V4's 998-cfm 90° V4 weighs 2.8 kg less than the 1,103-cfm V4. The engine's racing connotation is emphasized by the use of a dry clutch and the manual adjustment of the desmodromic timing system made for each example.
The Desmosedici Stradale has a V-shaped 4-cylinder layout and relies on desmodromic distribution. As a Euro 5+ version, it delivers more than 216 hp at 13,500 rpm on the Panigale V4, an increase in power of 0.5 hp over the previous version, rising to 2.5 hp over peak power at 14,500 rpm. The engine also delivers 120.9 Nm of torque at 11,500 rpm, and as early as 6,000 rpm it makes 80 percent of the maximum available torque available.
