Winglets 2018 V4S

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

You would need to drill into your fairing. Regular winglets wont fit because your 2018 doesnt have the support brackets on the inside of your fairings. Therefore you would need carbon winglets with brackets that mount behind the fairings. I only sold 2 of these set ups.
 
Here is a youtube video of a guy from V4Evo installing carbon winglets on a 2018 V4. But their stuff is crazy expensive. They dont even sell that set up for the 2018-19 V4 models. I didnt sell their stuff though

Motocomposites sells the winglets and the brackets for $299. Then you if you dont like the winglets you can buy the ilmberger ones but at least you have the brackets

Something about the narrow body, it just does not look right with the wings. Those Puig ones are unique, but kind of look like the Aprilia RF or the BMW wings.
 
know someone who replaced his 2018 fairings w 2020 fairings... he was kind of a diehard ... carbon wheels, dry clutch etc etc. someone told me he even filed the key down so that it wasnt obstructing his tuck. he wound up selling the bike though. think the oilmageddon got him

oilmageddon as in the price of oil cratering

Ok this is a Panigale hitting 329KPH on the street. Cool.
Thing I noticed is home much the nose drops when the pilot guts the throttle at 329kph. How much torque is needed to eek into 329 from 328, the bike is still trying to wheelie!
I was thinking, ya winglets.

 
Yep, perfect application for them. Is that video relevant to 99% of “winged” owners? Nope. If you think they look cool on your street bike, get em. If you have demonstrable improvements on the track, get em.
 
I guess I don’t really understand the wing thing in this application. On an airfoil section, angle of attack is just about everything which is why we used AOA extensively tuning the flight envelope.

You put a wing on a bike that is somewhat “tuned” as a manufacturing consultation what’s it tuned for? If the wing is fixed then it is not “tunable” so bike angle now changes AOA. You do anything to the setup or rider weight that effects bike angle that deviates from the tunnel tune then your effective AOA has changed and your wing now produces different results.

So my initial thought was, if the bike geometry is going to change with each individual rider and your airfoil is not adjustable then, under most considerations, for most riders, on a street bike, it’s a gimmick.
