2025 Ducati Panigale V2 Launched in India at ₹19.12 Lakh

The all-new Ducati Panigale V2 (2025) officially arrives in India with a headline price of ₹ 19.12 Lakh (ex-showroom) and marks a significant evolution in Ducati’s middleweight sportbike catalogue. Thanks to a fresh 890 cc 90° V-twin engine and a lighter chassis, this superbike blends track-bred performance with improved everyday usability.

Engine & Performance

This 2025 Panigale V2 adopts an all-new 890 cc 90° V-twin engine that produces 120 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Ducati claims this is the lightest twin-cylinder engine it has built, weighing just 54.4 kg. Although the peak power is lower than the previous 955 cc version (which made around 155 hp) the thrust is focused on improved agility and mid-range punch rather than outright peak figures. The wet weight of the standard variant is around 179 kg, and the V2 S variant is even lighter at 175 kg, enhancing the power-to-weight ratio and rider engagement.

Chassis & Handling

Beneath the bodywork lies an aluminium monocoque frame where the engine acts as a stressed member—a layout borrowed from higher-end Ducati superbikes. The swing-arm is double-sided (a departure from the previous single-side) to reduce cost and mass. The standard Panigale V2 gets fully-adjustable Marzocchi front forks and Kayaba rear monoshock, while the V2 S steps up to Öhlins NIX-30 units for even sharper feedback and premium feel. Braking is handled via Brembo monobloc calipers, with Pirelli Diablo Rosso tyres providing grip at both ends. These features underline the ‘track-capable, road-usable’ ethos of the bike.

Technology & Features

Electronics take a prominent role on the 2025 model. The bike uses a 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that manages cornering ABS, traction control (DTC), wheelie control (DWC), engine brake control (EBC) and a bi-directional quickshifter (DQS 2.0). Riders can choose from four Riding Modes—Race, Sport, Road, Wet—all displayed on a 5-inch full-colour TFT screen. The V2 S variant adds Launch Control and Pit Limiter as standard features. Design-wise, the new Panigale V2 adopts styling cues from the flagship Panigale V4—sharp fairing lines, under-seat exhaust, sculpted tank and minimalist tail section. The focus is on lightweight feel, aesthetic aggression and rider ergonomics suited for both street and track.

Conclusion

With the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2, Ducati delivers a middleweight superbike that marries serious performance with more manageable weight and refined electronics. For an enthusiast riding in India who wants the racetrack DNA of a Ducati without the extreme of a litre-class superbike, the Panigale V2 hits a sweet spot. Priced from ₹ 19.12 Lakh (ex-showroom), it offers a compelling value proposition in the premium sports-bike segment. If you seek thrilling rides on weekends or the occasional track day—with the brand heritage and advanced tech to match—this is one to seriously consider.
