Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Panigale V4 S 2021
There are hardly any real weaknesses left in the current Super Bikes anyway. Who gets along better with which motorbike now depends more on personal preferences than on pure data. By further improving the rideability, the Panigale can certainly score points with more and more riders. The latest update of the Panigale V4S, however, brings some advantages in terms of racetrack use and, not least due to the diverse setting options, probably enables many riders to improve their lap times compared to the predecessor. But how much depends largely on the rider!
Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 2020
With its cubic capacity of 1,077 cc, it does not fit into any common racing regulations, but for ambitious hobby racers in particular, the expanded cubic capacity brings with it even better drivability. Only the best of the best was used for the chassis. The latest generation of the electronic Öhlins suspension is fitted to the tried and tested aluminium bridge frame. This worked perfectly in our test, but tended to be quite hard for country roads. When it comes to braking performance, you can rely on the noble Brembo Stylema calipers, which bite into a 330 mm double disc at the front. Well-dosed, incredibly accurate and enormously stable even on the racetrack - that's pleasing. The ergonomics are very compact. With a height of 845 mm, you sit quite high on the bike. The handlebar stubs therefore seem comparatively low. A lot of pressure on the front wheel, perfect for the race track. All in all, the Aprilia with its high-quality, racing-oriented chassis and aggressive seating position always delivers crystal-clear feedback and terrific stability in every situation. Perfect basis for trackdays or even for a racetrack conversion.
