Ducati Panigale V4 vs KTM 500 EXC-F

The Ducati Panigale V4 (2027) and the KTM 500 EXC-F (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Ducati Panigale V4 is a sport bike with 1,103 cc, 215.1 hp and unlisted weight; the KTM 500 EXC-F is a enduro bike with 511 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 756.6 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Ducati Panigale V4 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.14 s and the KTM 500 EXC-F in 4.06 s; the Ducati Panigale V4 is quicker by 0.92 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 36.4 m for the Ducati Panigale V4 (with ABS) and 51.5 m for the KTM 500 EXC-F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Ducati Panigale V4 stops 15.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 299 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 158 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Ducati Panigale V4 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the KTM 500 EXC-F. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured.
