Ducati launches 2025 Streetfighter V2 in India — price from ₹17.5 Lakh

The Italian performance-bike maker Ducati has officially launched the 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V2 in India — a lighter, sharper naked-streetfighter adapted from its superbike roots. With a brand-new 890cc V-twin engine and a dry weight as low as 175 kg (in V2 S trim), the new Streetfighter V2 seeks to deliver a more agile and road-friendly riding experience, while retaining the aggressive character expected of a Ducati.

Engine & Performance

At the heart of the 2025 Streetfighter V2 lies a new 890 cc, 90° V-twin engine (Euro5+ compliant), which produces 120 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. Ducati claims that more than 70% of peak torque is available from around 3,000 rpm, giving the V2 strong mid-range response — making city traffic or twisty roads more manageable. A 6-speed gearbox with Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 and an oil-bath slipper clutch ensures smooth upshifts and controlled downshifts. For track-focused riders, an optional racing exhaust from Ducati’s accessories can boost output to about 126 hp while reducing an additional ~4.5 kg weight.

Chassis & Handling

Ducati has engineered a monocoque frame that uses the 890 cc V-twin as a stressed member, improving structural rigidity while cutting weight. The dry weight is just 178 kg for the standard Streetfighter V2 and 175 kg for the V2 S — making it the lightest Streetfighter model the brand has produced so far. It rides on a swingarm derived from the flagship Panigale V4, contributing to high-speed stability.

Suspension setup varies by variant: the base V2 gets a fully adjustable Marzocchi USD fork up front and a KYB monoshock at the rear, while the V2 S upgrades to premium Öhlins NIX-30 front fork and Öhlins rear shock — besides benefitting from a lightweight lithium-ion battery. Both trims run on Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres (120/70 front, 190/55 rear), use a Sachs steering damper, and come equipped with Brembo M50 monobloc brakes with 320 mm front discs, ensuring strong stopping power.

Technology & Features

The Streetfighter V2 comes loaded with advanced electronics based on a 6-axis IMU. Key rider-aids include cornering ABS (with slide-by-brake), predictive traction control, wheelie control, engine-brake control, and bi-directional Quick Shift 2.0. Four ride modes are offered — Race, Sport, Road and Wet — adjustable through a 5-inch TFT display that supports multiple layouts for Road, Road Pro and Track use. Additionally, in the V2 S variant, electronic aids like launch control (Ducati Power Launch) and pit-limiter come as standard.

Visually and ergonomically, the Streetfighter V2 shifts away from full fairing — offering naked/streetfighter styling that provides a more upright, manageable riding posture compared to its superbike cousins. The stripped-down design, combined with light weight and advanced components, aligns the bike for both spirited weekend rides and urban commuting.

Price & Variants

The new Streetfighter V2 is offered in two variants for India: the base Streetfighter V2 priced at ₹17.50 lakh (ex-showroom), and the premium Streetfighter V2 S priced at ₹19.48–19.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Both variants are available in Ducati’s signature “Ducati Red” paint.

Conclusion

The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V2 impressively packages a potent 890 cc V-twin, feather-light weight, premium suspension options and a rich electronics suite — making it one of the most desirable mid-capacity naked bikes in India’s premium motorcycle segment. Whether you opt for the base V2 for a balanced mix of performance and everyday usability or go for the V2 S to unlock top-tier suspension and electronics, this bike caters to riders who want the thrill of a superbike in a street-friendly, agile package. For those seeking a bike that delivers sprint capability, corner-happy handling, and modern rider aids without the bulky weight and full-facing ergonomics of a superbike, the Streetfighter V2 stands out as a compelling choice.
