Ducati aficionados, rejoice! The wait is over. The much-awaited 2024 Streetfighter V4 has roared onto Indian soil, bringing a wave of exhilarating upgrades. But that’s not all. Ducati has a power-packed year planned, with the introduction of the phenomenal DesertX Rally and the mighty Multistrada V4 RS. Buckle up, motorcycle enthusiasts, because this is shaping up to be an epic year for Ducati in India.
Two Beasts to Choose From: Standard V4 and V4 S
The 2024 Streetfighter V4 swaggers in with two variants: the standard V4 and the feature-rich V4 S. The standard V4 starts at a competitive Rs 24.62 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a potent option for performance-hungry riders who are budget-conscious. Craving the ultimate Streetfighter experience? The V4 S boasts a slightly heftier price tag of Rs 28 lakh (ex-showroom) and comes loaded with additional goodies to elevate your ride.
Beyond the Sleek Looks: Performance Enhancements Galore
The 2024 Streetfighter V4 isn’t just a head-turner; it’s a performance powerhouse. Ducati has armed this beast with a brand new set of riding modes, empowering riders to tailor their experience to the road ahead. Think of it as having different gears for your ride. “Full” mode unleashes the machine’s untamed fury, while “Low” offers a more manageable setting for navigating city streets or tackling tricky conditions.
There are also “High” and “Medium” modes that strike a perfect balance between the two extremes. And for those surprise downpours, a brand new “Wet” riding mode restricts power to a manageable 163 BHP, ensuring better grip and control on wet surfaces.
The brains behind the brawns get an upgrade too. The 2024 Streetfighter V4 features a refined 1,103cc V4 engine that now boasts cylinder deactivation technology. This translates to improved fuel efficiency without compromising on that exhilarating power rush. Additionally, the radiator fan kicks in at a lower temperature, keeping the engine cool even during the most aggressive rides. Imagine it as a built-in air conditioning system for your engine!
Subtle Tweaks for a Stellar Ride
Ducati has also made some ingenious tweaks to the chassis, most notably raising the swingarm pivot by 4 mm. This seemingly minor change plays a significant role in weight distribution, offering a more planted feel during those heart-stopping corner entries.
The upgrades keep rolling. The TFT digital dashboard gets a revamped layout in Track mode, providing riders with all the crucial information they need in a clear and concise format. Picture having all the data you crave – speed, revs, lap times – right at your fingertips for ultimate control on the racetrack. And to top it all off, the fuel tank gets a slight bump in size, offering riders a bit more range for those extended adventures.
A Glimpse into Ducati’s Powerhouse Lineup
The 2024 Streetfighter V4 is just the opening act for Ducati’s grand performance in India this year. Motorcycle enthusiasts can also gear up for the arrival of the rugged DesertX Rally, perfect for conquering off-road terrains, and the versatile Multistrada V4 RS, ideal for tackling any adventure you throw its way. Ducati’s diverse range of motorcycles caters to an array of riding styles and preferences, making a powerful statement in the Indian market.
In Conclusion
The 2024 Ducati Streetfighter V4 is a testament to Ducati’s commitment to innovation and performance. With its upgraded engine, new riding modes, and rider-centric features, it’s a machine built to exhilarate. Whether you choose the standard V4 or the feature-packed V4 S, the Streetfighter V4 guarantees an unforgettable riding experience. And with the arrival of the DesertX Rally and the Multistrada V4 RS on the horizon, Ducati is set to dominate the Indian motorcycle landscape in 2024.
