Streetfighter V2 and Streetfighter V4 SP: Two New Ducati Models derived from the Successful "Fight Formula."
Building on the success of the V4 model, the Ducati Streetfighter family expands with the introduction of new Streetfighter V2 and Streetfighter V4 SP models.
The Streetfighter V2 truly represents the essence of the “Fighter” attitude. The new gateway to the Streetfighter family is the perfect synthesis between boldness and essentiality.
BOLOGNA, Italy, Nov. 13, 2021 — Ducati expands the Streetfighter family by introducing two new models: the bold and essential Streetfighter V2 and the top-of-the-range Streetfighter V4 SP.
The new Streetfighter V2 is a sports bike with a one-of-a-kind character. It accommodates the needs of riders looking for a motorcycle capable of combining the Panigale V2’s DNA with both the attitude and style of the admired Streetfighter. The result is an intuitive and easy-to-handle motorcycle with the correct dose of power to ensure feisty performance and maximum riding fun.
This project is the reinterpretation of Ducati’s successful “Fight Formula.”
The new Streetfighter V2 is essential and characterized by an intelligent design, which embraces the classic stylistic elements of the Streetfighter V4, starting with the distinctive headlight, which pays homage to the V-shaped DRL typical of Ducati sports bikes and is inspired by the famous grin of the Joker.
A unique Ducati product, the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale with 208 hp, can deliver a torque of 90.4 lb-ft (123 Nm) at 9,500 rpm. It is fitted with the STM-EVO SBK dry clutch, which guarantees a better anti-hopping function and greater fluidity during all “off-throttle” stages. However, this racing bike is used only in motorcycle racing closed-course circuits. The law prohibits its operation on public roads.
