Both bikes share the powerful 1,103cc V4 engine producing 214hp and 120Nm of torque, identical electronics packages, and overall chassis design. The V4 S, however, is the more premium model with advanced electronic suspension, lighter components, and slightly better handling characteristics, commanding a higher price. The base V4 is a capable all-rounder with conventional suspension and wheels but still offering superbike-level performance and technology.
This makes the V4 S ideal for those seeking top-tier performance and track-readiness, while the regular V4 offers most of the exotic Ducati hardware at a more accessible price point.
