There is no difference between S spec parts and Ducati Performance parts, never has been, so not sure what you're talking about?

The extra parts you see fitted to the V4S bike at EICMA included an oil cooler guard, the carbon rear hugger, the Akra slip ons (not the full system) and bellypan, DP foldable levers, race windscreen, carbon fuel tank/battery cover, DP bar ends and carbon heel guards. These parts are all out of the DP 2018 accessories catalogue and are replacements for the OEM parts found on a stock showroom V4S model, as per any other Ducati Superbike from previous years.
Let me clarify. The Eicma video shows the S with carbon fenders. Others info says they’re not coming carbon on the S .
So are the carbon fenders in the video what the S will come with standard ?
Quite correct Adrian7.
anyone who wants travel to the alps or an euro moto gp race.ag
Got me a this Kriega set as well, great stuff, btw you dont need the footpegs for this as seen in the pic.

From all the pictures I've seen, the s model's front fender isn't carbon... But just a plastic piece painted matte black? Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks

You're not wrong, the front fender on the V4S is plastic.

V4S does not come with a carbon front fender.

The S model DOES NOT come with a carbon front fender but rather a black fender. Also the cast magnesium front subframe is on BOTH the base and S models. Ducati's website is not correct. I actually looked at both versions at Ducati of Newport Beach to verify this info.

sorry if this is a bit basic, but specifically with the suspension, what are the real world differences between the V4 and V4S?
is it just the riding modes?
and i'm assuming if it is, i can manually set those suspension 'scenarios' even with the settings available on the regular V4?
thx.

Nope, the electronic suspension changes damping rates constantly based on input from the IMU. So..... it will be softer or stiffer based on throttle input, lean angle, etc....
You can program it to be stiffer during breaking, yet softer during cornering and so on.
Also, the actual suspension is different.... you get Ohlins hardware with the S

thx @burton
if i primarily ride on the street (track days are few and far between) would i benefit (safety) from the V4S vs the V4? i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the real world advantages.
buying a 24k(cdn) and 32k motorcycle is significant.
context: riding for about 20 years. been to the track a dozen times. at the peak i was riding with the fast guys in the middle group. but now,.. rides are less and less often. ..lost my edge
but always loved the panigale....

Honestly, I don't think that it's a big safety benefit. One could argue that the electronic suspension is better performing in a wider set of circumstances as it is constantly self adjusting to provide optimum grip and therefore is a safety benefit but.....
I can't imagine anybody saying that their Showa BPF caused them to crash.
The suspension on the base is still pretty good.
