New Ducati Streetfighter models for 2022

• Based on the success of the V4 model, the Ducati Streetfighter family is enriched by the introduction of the new Streetfighter V2 and Streetfighter V4 SP models
• The Streetfighter V2 embodies the essence of the "Fighter" attitude: the new model of the Streetfighter family is the perfect synthesis of daring and essentiality.
• Produced in a numbered series, the top model Streetfighter V4 SP complements the "Fight Formula" with the leading technical solutions of the "SP" models and improves the power-to-weight ratio of the Streetfighter V4 S, which is already at the top of its category.

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 11 November 2021 – Ducati is expanding the Streetfighter family with two new models: the wild and purist Streetfighter V2 and the Streetfighter V4 SP, the new top model in the series. All detailed information about the two bikes was revealed in the fourth episode of the Ducati Ducati World Premiere (link to the video presentation here).

The new Streetfighter V2 is a sporty naked bike with a unique character. It meets the needs of riders looking for a motorcycle that combines the sporty DNA of the Panigale V2 with the attitude and style of the highly acclaimed Streetfighters. The result is an intuitive and easy-to-use motorcycle with the right dose of power, ensuring spirited performance and maximum riding pleasure.

In this remarkable reinterpretation of Ducati's successful "Fight Formula", the Panigale V2 was used, which was freed from its fairing. The Stummellenker was replaced by a high and wide handlebar. The dry weight is 178 kg and the motorcycle is powered by the proven Superquadro engine with 955 cc and 153 hp, which is controlled by an electronic package of the latest generation.

The new Streetfighter V2 is characterized by a really sharp design that takes up the classic style elements of the Streetfighter V4, starting with the striking headlight, reminiscent of the V-shape of the DRL typical of Ducati sports motorcycles and inspired by the famous grin of the Joker.

The technical concept of this new model is based on that of the Panigale V2. The Superquadro engine acts as a supporting element.

Ergonomics is all about the driver. The seating position is optimised for use on the road, with a focus on sportiness and comfort. The high and wide aluminium handlebar replaces the stubs of the Panigale V2. The seat is now wider and has a new padding that helps make this motorcycle even more comfortable. In addition, the footpexes have been repositioned to allow the driver a more comfortable seating position. All these improvements ensure great control when driving in a sporty way and at the same time make it easier to use in everyday life.

The Streetfighter V2 is powered by the 955 cc Superquadro engine, which meets the Euro 5 standard and delivers a maximum output of 153 hp at 10,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 101.4 Nm at 9,000 rpm. This engine is not only very easy to control on the road, but can also be used very effectively on the racetrack. Compared to the Panigale V2, the Streetfighter V2 has a shorter final ratio (15/45 compared to 15/43): this guarantees higher torque when used on the road and at the same time a better response of the engine when accelerating.

When developing this new model, Ducati engineers paid a lot of attention to the chassis. The Superquadro engine serves as a load-bearing element of the compact front structure, which consists of a die-cast aluminum monocoque frame attached to the engine. The single-arm swingarm, which is also connected to the engine, is 16 mm longer than that of the Panigale V2, a plus that contributes to the riding stability of the entire motorcycle.

The front wheel is guided by a 43 mm Showa BPF fork. A Sachs strut is installed at the rear. The suspension elements have a special set-up to make the motorcycle even more comfortable on the road. At the same time, however, they are also easily adjustable to experience a whole new dimension of driving pleasure on the racetrack.

The Streetfighter V2 is equipped with 5-spoke wheels and the new Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres: 120/70 ZR17 at the front and 180/60 ZR17 at the rear. The tyres react very quickly to the driver's steering impulses and give an unprecedented feeling in the corners. Apart from the use of less snappery brake pads, which are more suitable for use in road traffic, the entire braking system has been faithfully adopted from the Panigale V2 and is equipped with Brembo M4-32 monobloc radial calipers and brake discs with a diameter of 320 mm.

The comprehensive and modern electronic equipment of the Panigale V2 was also taken over from the Streetfighter V2. The 6-axle IMU inertial platform manages all the electronic controls of the motorcycle and indicates the position of the motorcycle in the room in real time and sends the information to the control units that manage the interventions. The electronic package includes: Cornering ABS EVO with "Slide by Brake" function, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2, Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO.

The Streetfighter V2 has three different riding modes (Sport, Road, Wet) with special settings. The electronic equipment can be extended by a number of accessories from the Ducati Performance catalogue: Ducati Data Analyzer (DDA + GPS) and Ducati Multimedia System.

The motorcycle is equipped with a full LED headlight with daytime running lights and a 4.3-inch TFT color display with an intuitive user interface reminiscent of the Streetfighter V4 family.

The Streetfighter V2 will be available from December at Ducati dealers in the colour Ducati Red with black rims.

The Ducati Performance catalogue contains numerous accessories that enhance the look, performance and style of the new Streetfighter V2. Particularly noteworthy are the winglets developed by Ducati to achieve even better performance on the racetrack.
