Ducati Panigale V2 2025 — The Lightest Panigale Ever
Introducing the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2, a ground-breaking evolution in Ducati’s sportbike lineage. This is the lightest Panigale ever produced, redefining agility and rideability while delivering Ducati’s trademark track performance and stunning Italian design. For the first time, the Panigale V2 isn’t derived from the larger Superbike—it’s been designed completely from scratch, resulting in a bike that’s 17 kg lighter than its predecessor.
A New Era for Twin-Cylinder Performance
At the heart of the new Panigale V2 is an all-new 890 cc V-twin engine, the lightest twin-cylinder ever built by Ducati, tipping the scales at just 54.4 kg. It’s up to 9 kg lighter than the previous Superquadro engine and sets a new benchmark for compactness, efficiency, and power delivery.
The iconic 90° V-twin configuration remains, ensuring perfectly balanced primary forces without the need for a countershaft—giving the engine its signature smoothness and character.
Next-Level Engineering Highlights:
Intake Variable Timing (IVT) delivers an impressively linear torque curve with razor-sharp throttle response from low revs to high-performance peaks.
Lightweight hollow-stem intake valves and DLC-coated finger followers, straight from MotoGP technology, reduce friction and increase reliability.
Advanced lubrication system with a scavenge pump reduces internal pressures for more efficient power delivery at all rev ranges.
Aluminium cylinder liners integrated into the block for superior compactness and thermal efficiency.
Quick Shift Evolution
Equipped with the second-generation Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up & Down 2.0, the gearbox now uses a gear sensor-based strategy for crisp, direct shifts with a much-improved tactile feel—no more spongy quick-shifter feedback and effortless neutral selection.
Light, Fast, and Pure
Designed with track focus but tailored for the road, the 2025 Panigale V2 offers an intoxicating mix of lightweight handling, thrilling engine response, and true Ducati refinement. The new engine is not just lighter—it's more versatile, Euro 5+ compliant, and engineered for the rider who demands sport performance without compromise.
This is the purest, sharpest, lightest twin-cylinder Panigale ever — and it’s waiting to be experienced.
