Differences between V4s 2020 and 2021

leonj · Feb 6, 2022

Looking to buy V4s 21 but wondering what are the differences between 20 and 21 can't find them anywhere online.
I would use it as a race bike. It would be my first Ducati motorcycle.

If differences arent huge I would buy 20 and save a few bucks.
If someone knows few details more please reply.

Sorry if already posted can't find them here on forum.

If you go through all of these videos the changes between 2021 and 2020 are explained. There's a lot of marketing fluff though.

If you are building a competition race bike and set on a Ducati Panigale, I'd start with a base V4 and go from there. The V4S is better for someone wanting both track and street.

I think the biggest difference is the software/engine maps. The 21 bike can give you full power in 1st, 2nd and third, whereas the 20 bike is restricted?

But, if you get it mapped, I think you can map full power in all gears anyway.

Happy to be corrected...

Also depends where in the world you are. 20-21 in USA are not very different. Rest of the world 21s got Euro5 engine and exhaust revisions.
