That Is Ducati's 2025 Panigale V4 R WSBK Racer

Just because the 2025 WSBK Ducati retains the 2024 single-sided swingarm, don’t assume they’re racing a 2024 model—they’re not.
For 2025, Ducati’s approach to WSBK has shifted due to a change in the rulebook. Instead of RPM limits, they now have unrestricted revs but must adhere to fuel-flow restrictions. The bike they’re racing is their 2025 Superbike, albeit fitted with the 2024 swingarm—unlike the 2025 production Panigale V4 R, which features a conventional swingarm.
Ducati's plan is to homologate a dual-sided swingarm Superbike in late 2025 for the 2026 season.
