You knew it was coming, following the launch of the 2025 Ducati Panigale V4. Here is the 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 with more engine power, revised chassis, updated aerodynamics, and better electronics.
This time, Ducati did not hold back as they have removed the fairings of the Panigale V4, gave the Streetfighter V4 S higher handlebars, and kept the engine power almost the same. The only difference for the 1103cc Demosecidi Stradale engine on the Streetfighter is a different airbox intake to deliver a stronger power delivery throughout the rev range.
Apart from this, the cams have higher lift profiles, the alternator and oil pump are shared with the Panigale V4 R, and the gear drum from the Superleggera V4. The Streetfighter V4’s engine also has variable-length intake trumpets.
The chassis is almost identical with the Panigale V4’s but is an all-new design, 1kg lighter than the previous bike. Just like the Panigale’s the front frame and double-sided swingarm offer less lateral stiffness: 37% in front and 42% at the back for better grip when the bike is leaned over plus improving feedback.
The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 has 0.5º more rake, and 1mm more trail for better straightline stability. Forks are Showa Big Piston, and the rear monoshock in a Sachs unit for the standard variant, while the S variant gets electronic Öhlins NIX/TTX suspension.
The bi-plane winglets generate 17kg of downforace at 270km/h. Oh, Ducati claims the Streetfighter V4 S has a kerb weight without fuel of only 189kg, giving it a 1.13hp/kg of power-to-weight ratio, while the standard variant has a kerb weight without fuel of 191kg.
And of course, no Ducati is complete without a raft of electronics features that will rival the Space Shuttle. There are four ride modes (Race, Sport, Road, Wet), wheelie control, Cornering Traction Control, Cornering ABS, slide control, launch control, quickshifter,.
New is the predictive algorithm-based Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) system comes included to precisely estimate the amount of electronic intervention needed, as does a five-level Race eCBS – a combined braking system that can automatically modulate rear pressure without rider input to mimic the cornering techniques used by professional racers.
The electronic features are all controlled through a new 6.9-inch TFT screen. And a partridge in a pear tree.
But it is comforting to know that Ducati did not forget rider comfort. The area where the seat meets the tank is revised to offer more room for taller riders, as well as better grip when braking and cornering. The handlebar and footpegs were repositioned to provide long-distance comfort while still offering a sporty ergonomic.
Last but not least, there are internal deflectors to er… deflect hot air from the engine away from the rider’s legs.
Prices in the UK are £21,295 (RM120,211.52) for the standard variant, while the 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 S is £26,195 (RM147,872.31). Prices in MYR are direct conversions, thus the price may be (much) higher when it arrives in Malaysia.
