Ducati has officially launched the 2025 Panigale V2 in India, starting at Rs. 19.12 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base model and Rs. 21.10 lakh for the V2 S. The new generation Panigale brings major updates in design, performance, and technology, offering riders a more approachable yet thrilling supersport experience. Unlike its predecessor, which was known for its aggressive nature, the 2025 version focuses on balance, agility, and everyday usability.
New 890cc V-Twin Engine
At the core of the new Panigale V2 lies an all-new 890cc, 90-degree V-twin engine, producing 120bhp at 10,750rpm and 93.3Nm of torque at 8,250rpm. While this is slightly lower than the older 955cc engine, Ducati’s main goal was to make the bike more rideable for a wider range of riders.
The new motor delivers smoother power, improved mid-range torque, and better fuel efficiency. It’s tuned for real-world performance rather than track-only aggression, making it more forgiving in traffic and city riding conditions. Ducati engineers have worked to ensure that the engine feels lively yet easy to control — perfect for Indian roads.
Lighter and More Rider-Friendly Design
Ducati has made the new Panigale V2 noticeably lighter. The standard version weighs 179kg dry, while the V2 S variant is just 175kg. This reduction in weight not only improves handling but also enhances comfort for daily and long-distance rides.
The fairing design has been refined for better aerodynamics, and the seating position has been slightly adjusted to reduce rider fatigue. The sleek LED headlamps, single-sided swingarm, and sculpted bodywork retain the signature Ducati look while giving the bike a modern appeal.
Advanced Electronics and Rider Aids
The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 is packed with modern electronics, making it one of the smartest superbikes in its class. It uses a six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to monitor lean angles and movement, ensuring safety and control in every situation.
The bike features cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, engine brake control, and a bi-directional quickshifter. The V2 S variant adds launch control and pit limiter as standard, while the base model offers them as optional features.
Riders can choose from four riding modes—Race, Sport, Road, and Wet—each altering the bike’s behavior to match different conditions. A five-inch TFT display shows all key information clearly, with easy navigation through the handlebar controls.
Suspension, Braking, and Tyres
Ducati has equipped the base version with a fully adjustable Marzocchi front fork and a Kayaba rear monoshock, both designed for comfort and control. Meanwhile, the V2 S gets premium Öhlins suspension at both ends, offering top-tier performance on both road and track.
Braking duties are handled by Brembo M50 monobloc calipers paired with high-performance discs, ensuring sharp stopping power. The bike rides on Pirelli Diablo Rosso 4 tyres, known for their excellent grip and stability in both dry and wet conditions.
Pricing and India Strategy
Ducati has priced the 2025 Panigale V2 competitively for the Indian market. At Rs. 19.12 lakh, it’s actually more affordable than the outgoing model, which started at Rs. 20.98 lakh. This pricing strategy shows Ducati’s focus on making its superbikes more accessible to Indian riders who aspire for performance without compromising comfort and reliability.
The new Panigale V2 will be available across all Ducati dealerships in India, with bookings already open. Deliveries are expected to begin soon.
Conclusion
The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 brings a perfect mix of power, precision, and practicality. With its new 890cc engine, advanced electronics, and lightweight design, Ducati has made the V2 a more versatile supersport machine. It’s not just for the racetrack anymore—it’s built for riders who want superbike performance with daily comfort. This new generation shows Ducati’s commitment to evolving with rider expectations while keeping its legendary DNA intact.
