DescriptionThe whole story▼

In the pit lane, a damaged dashboard cover is the kind of thing a crew wants to check and swap between sessions without hunting for a key or a specific tool, and that is exactly the problem Melotti Racing designed around with the Dashboard Protection Impact Absorber, DC.DU.3181, for the Ducati Panigale V4 S, built from 2018 to 2024. Machined from billet aluminium and fronted by a technopolymer panel over the LCD screen, the unit uses a quick-fix mount derived directly from racing paddocks, where every second spent on a fiddly fastener is a second not spent getting the bike back out.

Construction and Material Quality

The DC.DU.3181 body is machined from billet aluminium alloy and anodised black, and its front panel, made from technopolymer, sits directly over the dashboard's LCD screen to absorb impact before it reaches the electronics. Melotti's quick-fix mounting lets that front panel come off and go back on with bare hands, no key and no tool, a detail borrowed straight from the pit lane. Behind the panel, the dashboard sits in an elastic mount that cushions both a sudden impact and the steady vibration of a running engine, and the whole unit needs no modification to the V4 S to fit.

No Tools, No Delay

A pit crew working through a problem between sessions does not want to be searching for a specific key just to check whether the dashboard survived a small off, and that is the gap Melotti's quick-fix mount closes. Pulling the front panel off takes seconds, inspecting the screen behind it takes a glance, and refitting it is just as quick, which matters far more during a race weekend than it would ever matter in a home garage. The elastic mounting underneath does its job quietly in the background on every lap, not only after a fall.

Fitment and Compatibility

Melotti lists the DC.DU.3181 for the base V4, the Panigale V4 S, the V4 R and both Streetfighter V4 versions, covering the Panigale V4 S from 2018 to 2024 in our listing. Melotti's own notes mark this as the version sold before the 2025 dashboard arrived, which uses a different part number.

Road Approval

Melotti holds no ABE for this part, and neither do we, nor a German parts certificate or an EC type-approval. It is built for racing and other closed-circuit use; using it on German public roads without a documented entry is not permitted, and any event you enter follows its organiser's own technical rules.

Scope of Delivery

Delivery is the complete DC.DU.3181 unit, with its quick-fix front panel and elastic dashboard mount ready to fit without further modification.
