Lightness, intuition and reduced physical effort are combined with a torque curve that is generous at low rpm and delivers sports performance at the top end thanks to the new V2 engine. All enriched with category-topping technical and electronic equipment: this is the new Panigale V2.
A clean and simple design, smooth and expansive surfaces. Like every Ducati supersport, the Panigale V2 is as much about racing as it is elegance.
The lightest Panigale of all time
The new Ducati Panigale V2 marks a historic transition in the history of Borgo Panigale twin-cylinder sports bikes, because for the first time it is not derived from the larger motorcycle that competes in Superbike. Designed totally from scratch, it is the lightest ever Panigale. It weighs 17 kg less than the previous model, from which it inherits its sports attitude and adds a level of ease, comfort and riding pleasure.
With a dry weight of just 176 kg for the S version, the new Panigale V2 is the lightest Panigale ever produced. Weighing 17 kg less than the previous generation, this extraordinary lightness translates into a unique riding experience, on both road and track.
The evolution of Ducati DNA
The new Panigale V2 is the first mid-size sports bike in Ducati history to be designed from scratch, rather than deriving from the ‘larger’ models. The design is inspired by that of the new Panigale V4, with lines and concepts transferred across to the new mechanical base, but it all began with a blank page. This approach results in a more horizontal dynamic and less front load, which highlights the compactness of the new V engine.
The lightest twin-cylinder in Ducati history
Weighing in at just 54.4 kg, the new V2 engine is the lightest Ducati twin ever produced. Its lightness contributes to the significant weight reduction of the Panigale V2, which boasts a dry weight of 176 kg. This engine guarantees benchmark performance on track and is also enjoyable and entertaining on the road thanks to its generous torque.
Track-level performance to enjoy on the road
During development tests on track, the new Panigale V2 proved as fast as the previous model, despite that version having been conceived as a race bike with lights, number plate and rear-view mirrors. This, thanks to the 17 kg weight saving, a lightweight and modern chassis, new ergonomics, the significant engine torque, and an ease of riding unknown to the previous V2. Aboard the new Panigale V2, the rider is comfortable right from the first corner and better able to reach the limit, thanks to the reduced physical effort required to ride it.
