Suppresses damage to your bike from unexpected falls. The red line drawn by a red alumite aluminum ring is a symbol of Ducati's image color. Panigale is a monocoque frame structure that does not have a pipe frame and because it is mostly hidden by the side cowl, it is an engine slider that secures and protects directly to the engine, not so it is not technically a frame slider, but instead a properly engineered engine slider.
These and the tank slider saved my ass at COTA in April. $400 in parts probably saved a few thousand in damage. Another big plus is that I was able to call Randy and order the damaged replacement parts individually vs having to buy another kit. Big +1.
