Luxury motorcycle brand Ducati today announced the launch of the new 2024 Streetfighter V4 MY 2023; a bike that pushes the concepts of the “Fight Formula” even further, the key elements of which are the Panigale V4 stripped of the fairings, high and wide handlebar, 208 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine, biplane wings and latest generation electronic package.
Introduced in 2020, the Streetfighter V4 quickly gained popularity and established new performance standards in the super sports naked category. Its aggressive and minimalist design, reminiscent of the Joker from comics, was widely admired, capturing the hearts of enthusiasts right from the start.
Commenting on the launch, Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati India, said,
“The all-new MY23 Streetfighter V4 is based on the evolution of the Panigale V4, which has proved to be a gamechanger. This latest addition in the Super Naked Segment exemplifies our commitment to push boundaries and redefining the thrill of riding. With its combination of raw power, amazing agility, and striking design, the all-new Streetfighter V4S embodies the essence of Ducati’s relentless pursuit of excellence, and we are super excited to offer it to the enthusiasts in India!”
2024 Ducati Streetfighter V4 Design, Features and Performance
Design
The Streetfighter V4 boasts a straightforward and minimalistic design, featuring a full-LED front light and a V-shaped daytime running light reminiscent of the Panigale V4’s front view.
Its fuel tank shares similar contours with the 2022 Panigale V4, designed to enhance rider support during braking and cornering. With an increased capacity of 16.5 liters, the tank is now adorned with new side covers.
The new “Front Frame” and the Desmosedici Stradale engine are deliberately exposed, featuring minimal bodywork. In the V4 S version, the 2023 Streetfighter comes in a fresh “Grey Nero” livery, comprising of both dark and glossy finish —accentuating technical components such as brakes and suspension.
Electronics
The Streetfighter V4 in the 2023 version sees the introduction of the brand-new Wet Riding Mode to make riding even safer on low-grip surfaces. The standard equipment is enriched by a lithium-ion battery for the S version (1.7 kg lighter than the previous one)
The dashboard of the new Streetfighter V4 also follows the evolution traced by the Panigale V4. The graphics are revised in all views, to make the information simpler and more descriptive.
As on the Panigale V4, the gear change is indicated via an external green LED signal. The dashboard offers the “Track Evo” display mode, which replicates the layout used on the MotoGP Desmosedici machine and guarantees an immediate view of the most important information.
The Streetfighter V4 2023 evolves thanks to the new Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO 2 software which guarantees better stability, precision and directionality in the braking and corner entry phases. It also implements a new strategy for the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) which improves the fluidity of shifting at every degree of opening of the throttle, both when the latter is partialized and when it is completely open, dealing with both situations in a different way.
Finally, an update of the cooling fan control strategy, which offers better management of operating temperatures and greater thermal comfort for the rider at typical road use speeds, is added to these electronic changes.
Chassis and Ergonomics
On the new Streetfighter V4, the chassis also follows the evolution of the Panigale V4 family to offer enthusiasts improvements in stability, front-end feel, and riding safety. The chassis includes Front Frame and single-sided swingarm, both in aluminium, with upside-down fork and mechanically adjustable shock absorber on the V4 standard version.
The Streetfighter V4 S features semi-active Öhlins suspension (NIX30 upside-down 43 mm fork and TTX36 shock absorber) with SmartEC 2.0 interface, gaining in versatility, effectiveness, and quickness in set-up.
In addition, on the V4 S version, the rims are Marchesini forged in aluminium alloy with important benefits in terms of nimbleness when changing direction and responsiveness in acceleration and braking thanks to the reduction of unsprung masses.
As on the Panigale V4, the swingarm pivot of the Streetfighter V4 2023 is positioned 4 mm higher, increasing the anti-squat action that helps the rider due to greater stability, precision and the ability to maintain the trajectory when exiting corners and in all acceleration situations.
The weight distribution also moves towards the front, loading it more and thus increasing accuracy and speed in corner entry. Finally, the ergonomics benefit from the new layout of the fuel tank, the shape of which offers greater support to the rider during braking and cornering. The wet weight of the Streetfighter V4 S 2023 stands at 197.5 kg.
Engine
The 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale, capable of delivering 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 123 Nm, has been revised in calibration to match the larger diameter of the silencer outlet, introduced to reduce the exhaust back pressure. In addition, on the right side there is the clutch cover of the Panigale V4, which allows you to easily mount the dry clutch and the clutch cover protection.
2024 Ducati Streetfighter V4 Accessories
There is a wide range of accessories, which allow you to customize the Streetfighter V4 making it even sportier, starting with the Ducati Performance by Akrapovič full-racing exhaust*. Equipped with high silencers at the side of the tail, it allows a reduction of the total weight of 5 kilos and raises the maximum power to 220 hp.
The accessories catalogue also features street-legal slip-on systems, mudguards, aero kit and carbon fibre frame and crankcase protections, billet aluminium controls, but also tyre warmers and stands, for those who want to use their Streetfighter V4 on the racetrack.
