2025 Ducati Panigale V2 and Panigale V2 S
Following the celebrated release of the Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition, marking the end of the iconic Superquadro L-Twin, Ducati introduced its lower capacity new Euro5+ engine that will drive the next generation of twin-cylinder Ducati models.
The traditional desmodromic system has been replaced with Ducati’s IVT (Intake Variable Timing) system, first introduced in the GranTurismo V4. More on the new engine here.
At 890 cc, the new engine is 65 cc smaller than its forebears and produces 25 per cent less power. The new bike has 120 horsepower (126 with race exhaust), compared to the 155 neddies stabled in the 2024 bike.
However, the new bike is appreciably lighter, at 176 kg (minus fuel); the 2025 Panigale V2 S model is down a whopping 17 kilograms compared to the previous model. Add the race exhaust, and dry weight comes down to a shade over 170 kg.
Reading between the lines, Ducati appears to signal a shift in direction for the new Panigale V2, moving away from pure track-focused performance toward a more versatile, everyday ride.
The updated model promises improved ergonomics, greater rider comfort, and significantly less heat transfer to the rider.
The Panigale V2 is equipped with a Marzocchi fork and Kayaba shock absorber, while the Panigale V2 S offers its rider a more premium package, consisting of an Öhlins fork and shock absorber, in addition to a lithium-ion battery that reduces its weight.
The Brembo front braking system consists of two 320 mm discs and M50 monobloc calipers.
The double-sided swingarm is inspired in design by the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm of the Panigale V4.
The Panigale V2 is equipped with a six-axis IMU inertial platform and riding modes, thus supporting a comprehensive electronics package that aids both road safety and on-track performance.
The electronics package includes sporting ABS Cornering with slide-by-brake functionality, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Control and the new Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, the same system used on the Panigale V4, standard on both versions.
The Panigale V2 dashboard is a new 5” TFT with a user interface based on Infomode, conceptually derived from that of the new Panigale V4, with Road, Road Pro and Track layouts.
The 2025 Panigale V2 models are slated to hit Australian dealership in April with the V2 priced from $24,500 ride away, and the V2 S at $26,800 ride away.
The Panigale V2 will be offered in a two-seater configuration, while the Panigale V2 S will be available in a single-seater configuration, with a passenger kit available as an accessory, and will sport the Pit Limiter and the Ducati Power Launch as standard equipment.
