Sharp and aggressive design
Let me tell you that the design of the new Panigale V2 is absolutely sporty and aggressive. It seems clear to see that Ducati has inspired it with its V4 model, but has been made a bit compact so that it fits both on the road and on the track.
The twin LED headlamps at the same front give a more sharp and angry look than before, while the rear is extremely beautifully designed. LED taillights are reminiscent of Panigale 1199 R. Overall, the bike’s look gives it a distinct identity in the crowd.
Powerful new engine
New Ducati Panigale V2 features an 890cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, generating 120 bhp of power at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm.
Although the power figures are slightly lower than the older model, Ducati has made a large reduction in weight. The special thing is that its ‘S’ variant is 17 kg lighter. Because of this, the bike is not only fast, but also performs brilliantly in cornering and handling. Ducati claims that the new V2 is as fast as its old version, but feels even more balanced.
Chassis
Let me tell you that under the beautiful bodywork of this superbike, aluminum monocoque frame is given, which gives it excellent stability and control. The same standard version gives 43mm Marzocchi USD fork and Kayaba monoshock, which are fully adjustable. At the same time, the V2 S variant is equipped with Ohlins suspension.
Technology
Ducati has always made its bikes full of technology, and Panigale V2 is a great example of this. It has many advanced electronic features such as –
- Multiple Ride Modes (Road, Road Pro, Race)
- Traction Control and Wheelie Control
- Engine Brake Control
- Bi-Directional Quickshifter
It also gets a new TFT display which gives clean and high-clarity visibility. It not only sounds modern but also upgrades the riding experience.
