Marc Márquez Panigale V4 Replica: First Look

A Championship Celebration on Two Wheels: Marc Márquez Panigale V4 Replica

Ducati has never been one to shy away from celebrating greatness, and with the release of the limited-edition Marc Márquez Panigale V4 Replica, the Bologna-based brand pays thunderous tribute to one of MotoGP’s most electrifying figures. Only 293 units of this collector’s dream will ever exist—each a carbon-laced, race-bred nod to Marc Márquez’s 2025 World Championship and Ducati’s unwavering domination of MotoGP.

The bike was unveiled in Borgo Panigale alongside the man himself—Marc Márquez—during a celebration that transformed the Ducati factory grounds into a racing festival. With the echoes of Desmosedici GPs, Panigale V4 Rs, and MX bikes still ringing, the new Márquez Replica instantly vibes like the ultimate reward for Ducati’s loyal fans, and a crown jewel for collectors and hard-core enthusiasts alike.

Engineering Precision: Inside the Marc Márquez Panigale V4 Replica

Let’s get down to the numbers that matter. The Marc Márquez Panigale V4 Replica is powered by a 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine that churns out a staggering 218.5 hp at 13,500 rpm and 122.1 Nm of torque at 11,250 rpm. The homologated Akrapovič silencer not only enhances the soundtrack but cuts 2.5 kg off the bike’s weight, bringing the dry curb weight to just 186.5 kg. Yes, it’s lighter than the standard V4 S, and every ounce saved was in pursuit of race-worthy responsiveness.

The carbon fibre five-spoke wheels trim rotational mass while improving agility, especially under hard acceleration and rapid direction changes. Corner Sidepods, an aerodynamic feature developed in MotoGP, add ground effect at high lean angles, delivering stronger grip and elevated corner speeds. Add to that the Öhlins Smart EC 3.0-controlled suspension suite—NPX-30 pressurized fork, TTX 36 shock, and steering damper—and the result is a Panigale that’s unapologetically track-focused with real-world usability.

Braking performance gets the top-tier treatment with the Front Brake Pro+ system: dual 338.5 mm Brembo T-Drive discs paired with GP4 Sport Production calipers and the MCS 19.21 master cylinder. This setup, borrowed directly from the Superbike World Championship grid, delivers fade-free, precise stopping power for serious track sessions.

The Experience: Living With the Marc Márquez Panigale V4 Replica

The bike is dressed in a factory-accurate Marc Márquez 2025 Ducati Lenovo MotoGP livery, accented by a deep racing red, black carbon, and bold white flashes. Each unit features a numbered billet triple clamp, an Alcantara seat, and a Marc Márquez autograph right on the tank. The electronic dash greets the rider with a dedicated key-on animation, and even the ignition key cover is serial-numbered.

Track-day essentials like billet rearsets, a dry clutch, carbon fibre clutch cover, license plate removal kit, GPS module, and race-spec fuel cap are all included in a personalized components box. Ducati finishes it all off with a hand-crafted wooden crate and a certificate of authenticity, elevating the ownership experience beyond anything offered in the segment.

And for those fortunate enough to secure one of the 293 units, there’s a special bonus: a photo opportunity with Marc Márquez himself during a 2026 MotoGP round or World Ducati Week.
