New Ducati Streetfighter V4: the highest performing Fight Formula ever

  • For the first time, the Streetfighter V4 mounts the Desmosedici Stradale engine in the same configuration as the Panigale V4.
  • The new Streetfighter V4 is at the top of its performance class, with a power-to-weight ratio of .49 hp/lb
  • MotoGP-derived technology combines fun on the road with Superbike performance on the track like never before
  • Electronics and chassis are derived directly from the 2025 Panigale V4, with aerodynamics integrated into the style of the bike and the new Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm

SUNNYVALE, CA – November 29, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The seventh episode of the 2025 Ducati World Première (watch the episode) unveils the new Streetfighter V4 and V4 S. A bike born from the application of Fight Formula on the new Panigale V4 – the seventh revolutionary generation of Ducati superbikes – sits at the top of its performance class while improving rider comfort and enjoyability in road use.

The new Streetfighter V4 is a beautiful, fast, and sophisticated Ducati superbike, stripped of its fairings, with a high and wide handlebar, a weight of 417 lb., a 205 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine, biplane wings, and an electronics package that is unlike any other in the world.

Derived from the Panigale V4, it consists of the same engine, chassis, and electronics configurations.   The difference in horsepower is due to different intakes.  For the first time, Ducati has chosen to transfer the technology and performance of the Panigale V4 to a naked bike without sparing anything, creating a bike that combines the best of both worlds—track handling like a supersport bike and road enjoyment like a true naked.

Its impressive power/weight ratio of .49 hp/lb. obtained from a lighter engine combined with electronic and chassis developments such as DVO, Öhlins Smart EC3.0 suspension, and the new Race eCBS braking system makes the Streetfighter V4 even more effective on the track.

At the same time, it can be fun on the road with superior comfort in everyday riding. This is thanks to the wider calibration range guaranteed by the suspensions to a more rigorous chassis that gives the rider a greater feeling and ease of riding with a more contained exhaust noise while simultaneously offering great character to the bike.
