Ducati Panigale V2 / V2S
From a press release issued By Ducati:
The new twin-cylinder Panigale is a completely redesigned bike, which also thanks to the new Ducati 90° V2 engine and the monocoque frame (weighing just 4 kg), becomes the lightest Panigale ever: in fact, it is 15 kg less than the previous model in the V2 S version. Lightness, intuitiveness, reduced physical and psychological effort, a generous power delivery curve at low revs with a sporty extension at high revs, a style and technical equipment worthy of a true Ducati: these are the main characteristics of the new Panigale V2.
Family Feeling The front is characterised by a clear reference to the Panigale V4. In fact, it features the Full-LED headlight with double DRL that gives it the same assertive and decisive “look”, and is framed by painted surfaces also on the lower part, one of the new stylistic features of the Panigale family. The design of the tank, studied in terms of size and surfaces to support the rider in sporty riding, also recalls that of the Panigale V4, adapted to the new mechanical base and the different ergonomic triangle. The latter has been defined with the aim of reducing the load on the wrists while maintaining an excellent feeling on the front when cornering. The rear has also received a styling treatment inspired by its “big sister” and seamlessly merges with the tank, creating a monolithic effect clearly inspired by the 916. The full-LED taillight is divided into two parts, in keeping with the tradition of Ducati sportbikes. The exhaust, which ends with two silencers positioned under the seat, harks back to the Panigale’s racing tradition, underlining the sporty soul of the bike. The design of the new spoked wheels with a “Y” profile is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Marchesini three-spoke look. The black colour creates a contrasting effect with the full Ducati Red livery. Sportbike performance on the track and sheer riding
pleasure on the road On the road, however, the new Panigale V2 proves to be the easiest and most enjoyable Ducati sportbike ever. Thanks to a riding position that is less loaded on the front, the ease of riding and the thermal comfort that allows you to fully enjoy the bike. Furthermore, the new Ducati V2 engine is perfectly capable of providing great emotions between one curve and another, making the Panigale V2 a truly enjoyable bike.
New V2 engine Benchmark chassis The suspensions are fully adjustable, to allow the rider to personalise the set-up of the new Ducati sportbike. The Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2 are equipped with Marzocchi forks and Kayaba shock absorbers, while the V2 S versions offer their rider Öhlins forks and shock absorbers, as well as a lithium-ion battery that reduces weight. To maintain stability when cornering and at speed without a
fairing, the Streetfighter V2 features a swingarm that is 30 mm longer than the
Panigale V2 and a Sachs steering damper as standard. Benchmark electronics The rider can instantly change the bike's behaviour by choosing between 4 Riding Modes (Race, Sport, Road, Wet) that offer pre-set intervention levels, which can be modified by the user, for all the controls and engine response. In this way, with the simple press of a button it is possible to adapt the Panigale and Streetfighter V2 to the rider's preferences and the various riding situations. The dashboard is a new 5" TFT with a user interface based on Infomode conceptually derived from that of the new Panigale V4. The three views - Road, Road Pro and Track - are designed to allow the rider to concentrate on riding, highlighting the most relevant information for each context with a rational and complete display. The rider interface has been streamlined, integrating the information as much as possible in order to reduce its density and therefore improve readability. The rev counter, for example, also acts as a gear shift indicator, lighting up green at the ideal rpm to shift up, and red when over-revving is reached. Accessories The Lap Timer Pro self-timing system, using the Track Infomode, displays lap times, split times, and improvements in the rider's performance in real time. Those who wish to enjoy the new V2s to the fullest on the road can install Cruise control, Turn-by-turn navigator, a USB power socket to power a smartphone or a TPMS tyre pressure sensor. All the accessories are visible on the new Ducati configurator.
