Power, Design, and Performance Refined
Ducati has officially launched the 2025 Panigale V2 in India, showcasing a perfect blend of power, precision, and Italian craftsmanship. The superbike continues Ducati’s signature Panigale design language with aerodynamic styling, a powerful twin-cylinder engine, and advanced electronics for both track and street performance.
Engine and Performance
The new Panigale V2 is powered by a 90° V-twin (Superquadro) engine with liquid cooling and four valves per cylinder. It produces 120 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm, delivering strong mid-range performance ideal for both aggressive cornering and straight-line acceleration.
Design and Electronics
The bike features Ducati’s signature design—sleek fairings, twin under-belly exhaust, and a compact, aggressive stance. It comes equipped with a 5-inch full-colour TFT display, Cornering ABS, Traction Control, Wheelie Control, and Engine Brake Control for maximum rider safety and control.
Suspension and Handling
The standard Panigale V2 gets Marzocchi front forks and a Kayaba rear mono-shock, while the “S” variant offers premium Öhlins suspension for track-level precision. The bike weighs approximately 179 kg (wet), contributing to its agile handling and stability at high speeds.
Market and Pricing in India
The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 has entered the Indian market with significant anticipation among performance bike enthusiasts. Ducati aims to attract riders looking for a high-performance superbike with manageable power delivery.
However, early user reviews point out that the bike tends to run hot in city traffic, making it more suitable for open roads and track environments rather than daily commutes.
Verdict
The Panigale V2 remains one of the most balanced superbikes in Ducati’s lineup — offering superb power, refined electronics, and breathtaking design. Ideal for track days and spirited weekend rides, the bike may not be the most practical choice for city riding due to its high performance and maintenance costs.
