The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 and V2 S mark a noteworthy moment of evolution for Ducati, offering a blend of lightweight design and impressive performance. With the introduction of a new 890-cc twin-cylinder engine that delivers 120 horsepower, both models are built for exhilarating rides while focusing on comfort and everyday usability.
The base model, Panigale V2, is priced at $15,995 and has a two-seater setup featuring standard suspension components from Marzocchi and Kayaba. It uses a lead-acid battery and offers a range of accessories like the Ducati Power Launch and Ducati Pit Limiter for those looking to enhance their riding experience.
On the other hand, the Panigale V2 S, with an MSRP of $18,995, is tailored more towards sporty performance. It employs Öhlins suspension, Brembo M50 brakes, and a lightweight lithium-ion battery, all of which contribute to its lightweight design of just 388 pounds, compared to the V2’s 395 pounds. The single-seater configuration enhances its racing pedigree while still offering the option for a passenger with the purchase of an accessory kit.
Aesthetically, the 2025 Panigale V2 draws inspiration from the Panigale V4, showcasing sleek lines and a modern design. The full-LED headlight with a horizontal daytime running light adds to its allure, alongside the redesigned fuel tank that enhances both looks and rider comfort by reducing wrist strain.
The riding position is optimized for comfort with a 33-inch seat height, allowing easy reach to the ground. More than 70% of the engine’s 69 foot-pounds of torque becomes available at just 3,000 rpm for solid acceleration without compromising fuel efficiency. With the optional racing exhaust, power can increase to 126 horsepower.
Both models are outfitted with cast alloy wheels and Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires for superior grip. At the same time, their braking system features advanced elements such as ABS Cornering and Ducati Traction Control for optimal performance in various conditions. You can also enjoy the convenience of four Riding Modes and a customizable 5-inch full-TFT display that provides essential information at a glance.
In addition to performance, Ducati has also integrated several accessories aimed at enhancing both track performance and daily rideability. Options like Cruise Control and Turn-by-Turn Navigation cater to everyday riding needs, while track-focused accessories include a complete fairing kit and the Lap Timer Pro.
Set to arrive in dealerships by the end of January 2025, the new Panigale V2 and V2 S will be available exclusively in Ducati Red.
