The Panigale V4 SP2 is characterized by the special “Winter Test” livery, which combines the matt black of the fairings with the matt carbon finish of the rims and winglets, contrasting with the bright red accents and the brilliance of the visible brushed aluminum tank.
The dual profile design winglets feature the Italian flag also featured on the official Panigale V4 R SBK. The lower part of the fairing is distinguished by the presence of the Ducati Corse logo in the area of ​​the new hot air extraction vents and by a red detail with the motorcycle’s name, also present on the black double material seat.
The triple clamp is machined from solid material and shows the motorcycle’s progressive number, making each model unique.
