A few weeks ago, ducati had announced the launch of two limited edition models that honored the Moto GP world champion titles of Francesco Bagnaia and the Superbike of Alvaro Bautista. And now, the brand hangs the “sold” sign long before the first unit is delivered.
Named “Panigale V4 Bagnaia 2022 Replica World Champion” and “Panigale V4 Bautista 2022 Replica World Champion”both bikes were presented at a press conference by Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali, along with Pecco Bagnaia and Álvaro Bautista, and proved to be an immediate success, as all 260 units of each model have already been assigned to their future owners. .

The two special series, based on the Panigale V4 S, have the colors of the Pecco Bagnaia #63 and Álvaro Bautista #19 bikes. Each model in the series will be autographed on the tank by the athlete, with the signature then protected by a clear coat of paint. The two bikes are produced in a limited and numbered series of 260, celebrating Ducati’s birth year: 1926.
The Panigale V4 2022 World Champion Replica is offered in single-seater configuration only. Technical equipment includes racing components such as dry clutch, street-legal Akrapovič muffler, Brembo Stylema R brakes with MCS master cylinder, billet aluminum Rizoma adjustable footpegs and racing plexiglass. There are several carbon fiber components: the rear exhaust manifold heat shield, alternator cover, front and rear fenders, the brake manifolds, the cover that protects the single-sided swingarm. The series dedicated to Álvaro Bautista #19 features a brushed aluminum tank, as in the more sophisticated versions of the Panigale V4.
