The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 has been launched, following the announcement of a new V2 engine several days ago. The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V2 featuring the new engine has also been launched at the same time, so please click on the link above to find out more about it.

Highlights

• The new Panigale V2 shares the familial looks of the new Panigale V4 launched not long ago, right down to the new double-sided swingarm, although it does not have the bigger bike’s winglets.

• The new 890cc V2 (90º V-Twin) engine it entirely new, but is less powerful than the previous Superquardo, producing 120hp and 93.6Nm compared to 148hp and 104.4Nm.
• The racing exhaust system pack liberates 126hp and reduces 4.5kg of weight.
• However, the new engine signals a return to the traditional, more tractable V-Twin power delivery by providing 70% of its peak torque from 3,000 RPM, rather than being higher up in the rev range.

• The engine is very light, weighing only 54.5kg, which is 9.4kg lighter than the older engine.
• There is also a new monocoque frame which weighs only 4kg.
• Consequently, the new Panigale V2’s overall weight is only 176kg (15kg lighter) and has the distinction of being the lightest Panigale, ever.

• As such, the lower weight contributes to a fast motorcycle, with test rider Davide Stirpe circulating only 0.2 second slower than the old Panigale V2 at the Vallelunga Circuit.
• As usual, there are two variants – the standard and “S.”
• The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 uses fully-adjustable Marzocchi upside-down forks and a Kayaba monoshock.

• The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 S uses Öhlins forks and monoshock. The latter also receives a lithium-ion battery.
• Its wheels are six-spoke cast items that looks like Marchesini, and fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres.
• Up front, there are twin Brembo 320mm brake discs grabbed by Brembo M50 monobloc calipers (not Stylema).

• As usual with Ducatis, the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 features a comprehensive set of electronic rider aids which works with the six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), including ride modes (four), traction control, wheelie control, cornering ABS, engine brake control. Launch control and pit lane speed control are included in the optional pack.
• A new 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connection.
• The riding position has also been changed with higher clip-on handlebars and repositioned footpegs compared to the new Panigale V4.

The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 is also cheaper than the old bike: £14,995 (RM85,141.74) for the standard, and £16,995 (RM96,497.76) for the V2 S. The previous Panigale V2 standard was priced at £17,195 (RM102,162.87).
