SUNNYVALE, CA – November 6, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – With the newest episode of the 2025 World Premiere, a new era has begun for Ducati’s twin-cylinder motorcycles, unveiling the new Panigale and Streetfighter V2, the first bikes in the range to feature the new Ducati V2.

The new Panigale V2 and the new Streetfighter V2 are the lightest ever. Developed from Ducati’s performance and race DNA, a completely new design revolving around the Ducati V2 engine, the two bikes have set a new benchmark for compactness and lightness among Borgo Panigale twin-cylinders.

Panigale V2

The Ducati Panigale V2 marks an epochal transition in the history of Borgo Panigale twin-cylinder motorcycles because, for the first time, the bikes have been designed from the ground up and don’t simply adopt the engine with a reduced displacement. It is a bike that picks up the tradition of iconic models such as the 748, the 848, and the 959 to maintain the sporty feeling but adds an easy-to-ride character and enjoyment on the road.

Thanks to the new Ducati 90° V2 engine and the monocoque frame (weighing just lbs), it is the lightest Panigale ever: in fact, it is 33 lb less than the previous V2 S model.

Lightness, intuitiveness, reduced physical and psychological effort, a generous power delivery curve at low revs with a sporty extension at high revs, and a style and technical equipment worthy of a true Ducati are the main characteristics of the new Panigale V2.

Family Feeling

The design of the Panigale V2 is inspired by that of the Panigale V4, defining a sportbike with a determined yet elegant character, combined with the typical taut and clean lines of Ducati grafted onto the neat and sophisticated surfaces of its fairing. Inside the side of the latter, a passive ventilation system channels fresh air towards the rider and moves the hot air from the radiator away, thus improving thermal comfort; essential for thoroughly enjoying the bike when riding on the road.
