STM Clutch Pressure Plate for Ducati Panigale V4/S (2018-2024) – Red Anodised Aluminium SDU-*960

Machined from solid aluminium billet and finished in a striking red anodised coating, the STM clutch pressure plate for the Ducati Panigale V4/S is a direct upgrade over the factory component — delivering measurably better durability, improved clutch feel and a finish that belongs on a competition-grade machine. Every surface is CNC-milled to exacting tolerances, so the fit is precise and the engagement is exactly as Panigale V4 riders demand.

Key Features

• CNC-machined from solid aluminium billet for maximum strength and dimensional accuracy
• Red anodised finish provides lasting corrosion resistance while adding a race-ready aesthetic to the clutch bay
• Plug-and-play fitment replaces the original clutch pressure plate without modification
• Optimised geometry translates to a more consistent clutch engagement and improved feel at the lever
• Designed and manufactured by STM, a specialist in high-performance clutch components

Build Quality and Materials

STM selects high-grade aluminium alloy as the starting material for this pressure plate, then removes all compromise through full CNC machining from solid. The result is a component with tighter tolerances than a cast equivalent, ensuring the clutch pack seats evenly and wears consistently over time. The hard anodising penetrates the surface rather than sitting on top of it, meaning the red finish resists both the heat generated at the clutch and the abrasion of routine maintenance. For a Panigale V4 used hard on track days or ridden to a high standard on the road, that level of materials quality is exactly what prevents premature wear.

Performance on Road and Track

The Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S transmit considerable torque through the clutch pack, and the stock pressure plate is engineered to a price point that leaves room for improvement. The STM item replaces it directly — same bolt pattern, same interface, no adapter required — and the precision fit eliminates any minor play that can cause inconsistent bite points. Riders report a cleaner, more progressive engagement, which is especially noticeable during aggressive track-day exits where clutch slip is actively managed.

Fitment and Compatibility

This pressure plate is specifically designed and validated for the following models:

• Ducati Panigale V4 (2018–2024)
• Ducati Panigale V4 S (2018–2024)

Installation is a direct plug-and-play replacement for the original clutch pressure plate. No modifications to the engine cases or clutch basket are required.
