2025 Ducati Ducati Panigale V2

Introduction

• Ducati launched the updated Panigale V2 in India nearly a year after it was launched in international markets.
• The supersport bike features a new design and a brand-new twin-cylinder engine.
• In terms of design, it's as good-looking as the new Panigale V4, though more like a scaled-down version.
• It's sharp, purposeful, and gets twin LED headlamps, which are slimmer and angrier looking than those on its predecessor.
• The taillights remind of the Panigale 1199R at the beautifully designed tail section.

Features and Equipment

• The underpinnings of the Ducati Panigale V2 include an aluminium monocoque frame with fully adjustable 43mm Marzocchi USD fork and a Kayaba monoshock.
• On the other hand, the Panigale V2 S sports Ohlins suspension at the front and rear.
• Nevertheless, both these variants ride on 17-inch wheels shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres.
• As seen on other Ducati motorcycles, the V2 also features an array of electronic aids.
• Then, there are multiple ride modes, traction control levels, engine brake control, wheelie control, and a bi-directional quick-shifter.
• Another highlight is a new TFT display with three display modes - Road, Road Pro, and Race.

Engine and Gearbox

• The Panigale V2 is powered by an 890cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine.
• This mill produces 120bhp at 10,750rpm and 93.3Nm torque at 8,250rpm.
• Interestingly, the old Panigale had a little higher peak power.
• However, more importantly, the new Panigale is significantly lighter than the outgoing version.
• To be more specific, the V2 S is 17kg lighter.
• And the good news is that Ducati says the new Panigale V2 is as quick as the old bike.
