Ducati inaugurates a new era for its twin-cylinder bikes, 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. Two high-performance and fun bikes both on the track and on the road, thanks to Ducati sportbike DNA and a completely new design approach revolving around the Ducati V2 engine, a new benchmark for compactness and lightness among Borgo Panigale twin-cylinders.
The Ducati Panigale V2 marks an epochal transition in the history of Borgo Panigale twin-cylinder sportbikes, because for the first time it has been designed starting from a blank sheet of paper, and not simply adopting 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, of which it maintains the sporty feeling, but adds an easy-to-ride character and enjoyment on the road.
The new twin-cylinder Panigale is a completely redesigned bike, which also thanks to the new Ducati 90° V2 engine and the monocoque frame (weighing just 4 kg), becomes the lightest Panigale ever: in fact, it is 17 kg less than the previous model in the V2 S version.
Lightness, intuitiveness, reduced physical and psychological effort, a generous power delivery curve at low revs with a sporty extension at high revs, a style and technical equipment worthy of a true Ducati: these are the main characteristics of the new Panigale V2.
The design of the Panigale V2 is inspired by that of the Panigale V4, defining a sportbike with a determined yet elegant character, 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 ensuring greater thermal comfort, essential for fully enjoying the bike when riding on the road.
