Ducati took the wraps off its 2025 models of the Panigale V2 and the Streetfighter V2, and both get the company’s new 890 cc L-twin engine, replacing the earlier 955 cc superquadro engine that did duty on the motorcycles. The Streetfighter V2 and Panigale V2 also gets a higher-spec S variant. The new engine makes 120 hp at 10,750 rpm along with a peak torque output of 93.3 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Now, it might seem that the both bikes are making less power (the 955 cc L-twin made 150 hp) but they weigh significantly lesser than before.Â
The Panigale V2 weighs 179 kg while the Streetfighter V2 weighs 178 kg. Both motorcycles earlier had a kerb weight of almost 200 kg. The new 890 cc L-Twin weighs 54.4 kg which is 9.5 kg lesser than the 955 cc superquadro engine. This means that the power-to-weight ratio goes up.

The overall design on the motorcycle stays similar to the outgoing models save for a few changes that include a new conventional Aluminium swingarm and twin-port underseat exhausts, that we have seen on old Ducati models. The Panigale V2 has a seat height of 837 mm while the Streetfighter V2 has a seat height of 838 mm.Â
Both motorcycles also get a full suite of electronic rider aids such as various riding modes, cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and engine brake control and a bi-directional quick-shifter. Customers can get optional features like heated grips, turn-by-turn navigation, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system and so on.Â
Like earlier, there is a top-spec ‘S’ variant of the Panigale and the Streetfighter V4 which gets top-shelf fully adjustable Ohlins suspension at the front and rear, while the standard models get a Marzocchi fork up front and a KYB monoshock at the rear, fully adjustable again. The travel in both setups stays the same at 120 mm for the front and 160 mm for the rear. The Panigale V2 S and the Streetfighter V2 S weigh 3 kg less than their standard counterparts.Â
Both motorcycles get twin 320 mm semi-floating discs, radially mounted Brembo Monobloc M50 piston callipers up front and 245 mm disc, 2-piston calliper at the rear. The fuel tank capacity also stays the same for both at 15 litres. The two motorcycles get 17-inch alloys at either end, shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso 4 rubber.Â
The current Panigale V2 and the Streetfighter V2 are priced in India at Rs. 21 lakh and Rs. 18.5 lakh respectively. Expect the new models to be priced a bit more competitively.
