Ducati Launches 2025 Streetfighter V2 in India: The Lightest and Most Agile ‘Fight Formula’ Yet
Luxury motorcycle brand Ducati has officially announced the launch of the highly anticipated 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V2 in India. Applying the brand’s renowned “Fight Formula” to the new Panigale V2 platform, this naked sportbike is designed to deliver an exhilarating blend of cutting-edge technology and accessible performance for both road and track enthusiasts.
The new Streetfighter V2 represents a significant evolution in Ducati’s medium-displacement naked category. It strips away the fairings to highlight its mechanical beauty and raw power while focusing heavily on lightness and handling.
The Fight Formula: Lightest Streetfighter Ever
The 2025 Streetfighter V2 sets a new benchmark for agility, weighing just 175 kg (kerb weight for the S model). This makes it the lightest Streetfighter ever created by Ducati, achieving a remarkable weight reduction of 18 kg compared to the previous model.
Bipul Chandra, Managing Director of Ducati India, stated that the new Streetfighter V2 is the “lightest Streetfighter ever” and offers an intuitive, lively, and enjoyable ride while faithfully adhering to the original “troublemaker spirit” of the Streetfighter family.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the new Streetfighter V2 is the new 890 cc V2 engine. This powertrain is the lightest twin-cylinder ever produced by Ducati.
- Power: It delivers a maximum power of 120 hp at 10,750 rpm.
- Torque: The engine serves as a stressed element of the chassis, contributing to the bike’s compact and lightweight structure.
- Performance: The bike is designed to be powerful yet usable, offering a fun and adrenaline-filled riding experience on the road and maximum efficacy on the track.
Design and Ergonomics
The design of the new Streetfighter V2 creates a direct visual link with the Panigale V2 but with a distinct naked character. It features a sharp, aggressive look with a Full-LED headlight cluster that mimics the “predatory gaze” of the Panigale family.
While it inherits the sporting DNA of the Panigale, the Streetfighter V2 features ergonomics specifically adapted for everyday road use. The high and wide handlebars replace the clip-ons, and the footpeg position has been altered to provide a more comfortable and less fatiguing riding position compared to its fully faired sibling.
Chassis and Suspension
The chassis geometry is derived directly from the Panigale V2 to ensure stability and precision. The bike features a light and efficient aluminum monocoque frame and a double-sided swingarm inspired by the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm of the Panigale V4.
The motorcycle is available in two variants with different suspension setups:
- Streetfighter V2: Comes equipped with fully adjustable Marzocchi forks and a Kayaba rear shock.
- Streetfighter V2 S: Features premium Öhlins NIX30 forks and an Öhlins rear shock, offering superior damping and feedback for spirited riding.
Both versions are fitted with high-performance Brembo M50 monobloc calipers and 320 mm front discs for powerful braking performance.
Electronics and Technology
The 2025 Streetfighter V2 is equipped with a sophisticated electronics package based on a 6-axis IMU. This suite includes:
- ABS Cornering
- Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
- Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
- Engine Brake Control (EBC)
- Ducati Power Launch (DPL)
