The Final Edition also sports a titanium exhaust from Akrapovic that mimics the twin high-level pipes that are fitted to WSBK race bikes. However, the exhaust system is Euro IV compliant.

The 1299 Panigale R Final Edition chassis is a die-cast aluminium monocoque structure from the R that uses the engine as a stressed member. Suspension duties are carried out by Ohlins units —43mm NIX 30 USD forks up front along with an adjustable steering damper and a TTX36 mono-shock at the rear. Bringing the two-wheeled rocket to a stop are twin 330mm semi-floating discs with radially mounted Brembo Monobloc M50- 4-piston callipers up front and a single 245mm disc at the rear which sports 2-piston callipers.
