Summary of the Motorcycles Launched by Ducati Malaysia / Next Bike - Specification and other details
Ducati Panigale V4
The 2018 / 2019 Ducati Panigale V4 marks an important milestone in the Ducati brand’s history as a
“symphony” of all-Italian performance and emotion, being the first mass-produced Ducati
bike to mount a four-cylinder engine. The superbike was derived directly from the MotoGP
Desmosedici, developed in close collaboration with Ducati Corse by drawing directly on
know-how and technology from the racing world to provide a road bike closest to its MotoGP
counterpart.
Elegant, muscular and equipped with cutting-edge technology, the Panigale V4 is the
epitome of Italian sports elegance with a completely new design enhanced from its
predecessors, built for both excellent on-track performance and outstanding on-road
ridability. Combining the alluring “Panigale” tag and the “V4” designation, the new exclusive
superbike indicates the start of a whole new era for the Ducati brand.
The Panigale V4 tops the Ducati supersport range with its enhanced performance and rider-
friendliness – riders of all skill levels can experience boundless fun and excitement on the
bike. Powered by the new Desmosedici Stradale engine, just like the Desmosedici GP, the
Panigale V4 is the most powerful bike in its segment with a maximum of 214 hp at 13,000
rpm with a power/weight ratio of 1:1, and has a torque of 12.6 Kgm at 10,000 rpm which
makes it easy to handle. Its engine is the only one in the sports segment with a 90º V
configuration and uses a counter-rotating crankshaft and twin pulse ignition which
contributes to the agility of the superbike when making a change in direction, while ensuring
easier out-of-the-corner torque handling.
Equipped with state-of-the-art control electronics, the new Panigale V4 sets a new
performance benchmark with raised vehicle safety and dynamics control standards as it
uses the latest generation six-axis inertial platform data (6D IMU). Other extensive safety
features include controlled slides during braking, front wheel ABS Cornering designed for
track riding and Quickshift Up & Down (DQS) that tackles lean angles.
Ducati Multistrada 1260 S
First launched in 2010, the Ducati Multistrada was the start of a new revolution in the motorcycling
world by offering four bikes in one; from sport bike to long-distance tourer, from everyday
runabout to enduro. With its many new features and Riding Modes, the 2018 / 2019 Ducati Multistrada
1260 S brings a whole new level of performance, greater usability, control, comfort and fun.
Maximising the concept of versatility, the Ducati Multistrada 1260 S was made for touring the
urban and rural Malaysian landscapes. Equipped with a new engine, chassis and cutting-
edge electronics, its performance and control is significantly improved when riding in any
condition and on any road.
The heart of the Ducati Multistrada 1260 S is the new Euro 4 approved 1262 cc Ducati
Testastretta DVT engine which gives ample low-to-mid range torque. The super bike is now
even more pleasurable for everyday use as it offers the highest torque output in its class at
4,000 rpm – the most frequently used average rotation rate when riding. To further enhance
its power delivery, the bike also comes complete with the new Ride-by-Wire system to
ensure smoother throttle control and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up & Down which significantly
improves the riding experience.
The Ducati Multistrada 1260 S was ergonomically designed to ensure comfort during travels.
Donning a new chassis with a longer swing arm and new shape at the front end, the rider
can easily tackle curves while ensuring maximum stability at full load. The versatile
superbike is also equipped with the revolutionary Bosch IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)
platform which controls Cornering ABS, Ducati Cornering Lights and Ducati Wheelie Control
(DWC) with highly revered semi-active Ducati Skyhook suspension (DSS) Evolution control
system and Vehicle Hold Control that ensures easy and safe uphill starts.
Ducati Monster 821
The latest Ducati Monster 821 is the heir to the iconic Monster 900 at the Cologne Motor Show
in 1992. With an impressive upgrade, the new Monster 821 embodies the essence of naked
sport feel, agility and power, and combines perfect performance with outstanding rider-
friendliness, ideal for maneuvering through the congested Malaysian traffic.
Characterised by the iconic Monster design, the Monster 821’s volumes, silhouette, tank and
classic headlight are true to the original lines of its 1993 predecessor but revisited with a
modern flair. Similar to the original Monster, the iconic tank also comes with a fastening
hook. For the first time on the mid-size Monster, the bike also comes with the colour TFT
display with selected gear and fuel indicators.
Engineered to deliver a maximum power of 109 hp at 9,250 rpm, the Ducati Monster 821 is
equipped with the Euro 4 compliant liquid-cooled Testastretta 11º engine with 8.8 kgm of
torque at 7,750 rpm for high performance and agility.
The Monster 821 conveys pleasant riding sensations without compromising its safety with
the Ducati Safety Pack consisting of Bosch ABS and Ducati Traction Control. For maximum
safety, the Ducati Monster 821 also comes with three Riding Modes which allow for easy
adjustment of ABS DTC and Power Modes, letting riders transform the bike into three
different motorcycles personalities. The bike also features Brembo brakes with dual 320 mm
discs and M4-32 monobloc radial callipers up front, and a refined suspension system with
adjustable shock absorber at the rear.
