For Indian superbike enthusiasts, the wait is finally over. Ducati has officially launched the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 and V2 S in India, and they’re not just updates—they’re complete reinventions. With a brand-new engine, redesigned chassis, and cutting-edge electronics, these bikes promise to deliver a riding experience that’s both thrilling on the track and enjoyable on everyday roads.
Unveiled on October 29, 2025, the new Panigale V2 lineup marks a bold step forward for Ducati’s twin-cylinder sports bike family. Built from scratch and no longer derived from the larger V4 platform, the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 and V2 S are now the lightest Panigales ever, offering unmatched agility and rider engagement.
Engine and Performance: A New Heartbeat
At the core of the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 is a newly developed 890cc 90° V-twin engine, producing 120 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. Ducati claims this is the lightest twin-cylinder engine they’ve ever built, weighing just 54.4 kg.
This new L-twin motor is designed to deliver linear power delivery, strong mid-range torque, and a thrilling top-end rush. Whether you’re carving corners or cruising city streets, the engine feels responsive and refined.
Chassis and Handling: Built for Precision
The 2025 Panigale V2 features a completely reworked monocoque frame, with the engine serving as a stressed member. This design improves rigidity while reducing weight, resulting in sharper handling and better feedback.
- Panigale V2: Equipped with 43mm fully adjustable Marzocchi forks and a Kayaba rear shock
- Panigale V2 S: Upgraded to Öhlins NIX-30 front forks and an Öhlins TTX36 rear shock, offering superior damping and track-ready performance
Both models feature a double-sided swingarm derived from the Ducati Panigale V4, enhancing stability and cornering precision.
