1. A new generation of the Ducati twin
The 2025 Panigale V2 represents a completely fresh start for Ducati’s twin-cylinder superbike range. It’s not just an update — it’s a new motorcycle built from the ground up. The redesigned chassis, sharper handling, and intuitive ergonomics make it ideal for both track sessions and spirited weekend rides. The V2 S variant tips the scales at just 175 kg (wet, without fuel), resulting in an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 0.69 hp/kg.
2. Lighter and more powerful 890 cc engine
At its heart lies a brand-new 890 cc 90° V2 engine, the lightest twin-cylinder powerplant Ducati has ever produced, weighing only 54.4 kg. It delivers 120 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm, providing a robust mid-range and instant throttle response. The engine is now compliant with E20 fuel standards in India, ensuring both performance and sustainability.
3. Design inspired by the Panigale V4
The new Panigale V2 takes clear inspiration from the flagship V4, translating its aerodynamic curves into clean, muscular lines. The aggressive Full-LED headlight with DRL, sculpted fuel tank, and fully faired tail section give it a sleek, racing-bred stance. The underseat exhaust pays homage to classic Ducati race bikes, while the monocoque frame and compact proportions enhance agility and rider comfort.
4. Track-ready chassis and electronics
Built around a lightweight monocoque frame, the Panigale V2 uses the engine as a stressed element for maximum rigidity and control. The base model gets a Marzocchi fork and Kayaba monoshock, while the V2 S features fully adjustable Ohlins NIX-30 suspension and a lithium battery to reduce weight further.
On the electronics front, Ducati has packed in its most advanced rider-assist suite yet — powered by a 6-axis IMU. Riders get ABS Cornering, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Wheelie Control (DWC), Engine Brake Control (EBC), and the Quick Shift (DQS) 2.0 system. There are four Riding Modes (Race, Sport, Road, and Wet), all displayed on a new 5-inch full-TFT screen.
