Thanks to these interventions and the new dedicated mapping, the Euro 5 version of the engine provides 215.5 hp at 13,000 rpm, an increase of 1.5 hp over the uplifted 2021 Panigale V4 Maximum power peak of 2.5 hp at over 14,500 rpm**. To unlock the full potential of this engine, we have developed four gear-by-speed torque curves Ducati has developed different power modes (full, high, medium, low). complete and Redesign low profile while high profile and medium profile use new profile strategy.

To further enhance the performance of the Desmosedici Stradale when used on the track New full titanium Ducati Performance racing exhaust developed in partnership with Akrapovič is available as an accessory.
