The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 is here, and it’s making waves as Ducati’s most advanced, powerful, and stunning naked bike ever. By stripping down the Panigale V4’s fairings and pairing its raw performance with a high, wide handlebar, this masterpiece blends breathtaking speed with everyday comfort.
With a lean 189 kg weight, a ferocious 214 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine, biplane wings for aerodynamics, and cutting-edge electronics, the Streetfighter V4 redefines the boundaries of naked superbikes.
The Best of Both Worlds: Naked Meets Supersport
For the first time, Ducati has seamlessly transferred the technology and performance of the Panigale V4 into a naked format without compromise. The engine retains its original Panigale configuration with only minor tweaks for enhanced road usability. This results in track-ready handling akin to a supersport, paired with the comfort and agility of a true street bike.
The updated engine, Euro5+ compliant, delivers a staggering power-to-weight ratio of 1.13 hp/kg, enhanced by innovations like Öhlins Smart EC3.0 suspension and the Race eCBS braking system. Whether you’re chasing lap times on a circuit or carving mountain roads, the new Streetfighter V4 excels with ease.
Powerhouse Engine: The Desmosedici Stradale
At the heart of the Streetfighter V4 lies the Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, a direct derivative of Ducati’s MotoGP technology. Its 90° V4 architecture, desmodromic distribution, counter-rotating crankshaft, and Twin Pulse timing deliver a thrilling, signature Ducati sound.
This revamped version introduces variable-length intake trumpets for improved rideability and peak power. With 214 hp at 13,500 rpm and 12.2 kgm of torque, the engine is a marvel of engineering. Opt for the Ducati Performance racing exhaust, and the power surges to an astonishing 226 hp for track enthusiasts.
Aggressive Design with Functional Elegance
The new Streetfighter V4 retains its aggressive DNA, with cleaner proportions and a sharp, forward-slanting stance. Key highlights include:
- Full-LED Headlight: A striking upgrade that enhances its iconic look.
- Aerodynamic Biplane Wings: Redesigned for increased downforce (+17 kg at 270 km/h).
- Refined Tail and Tank Design: Improved ergonomics and sleek aesthetics.
- Symmetrical Swingarm: Lightened for agility and stability, revealing an uncluttered view of the rear.
The result? A bike that looks ready to attack the next corner while delivering the trademark Ducati blend of style and function.
Enhanced Comfort and Control
The riding ergonomics cater to both spirited rides and daily commutes. Ducati has improved comfort for taller riders by revising the handlebar position and lowering footpegs. Additionally, redesigned air deflectors ensure hot air flows away from the rider, making long rides more enjoyable.
The seat-tank unit offers greater freedom of movement and a natural aerodynamic position. These refinements, paired with the advanced Cruise Detection system, provide a smoother ride even during highway cruising.
MotoGP-Inspired Chassis
The chassis of the Streetfighter V4 borrows directly from the Panigale V4, making it the most track-capable Streetfighter yet. Key upgrades include:
- Lighter Front Frame: Improves lean confidence and cornering precision.
- Advanced Suspension: Öhlins Smart EC3.0 offers a wide calibration range for both road and track use.
- Enhanced Brakes: Brembo Hypure calipers provide consistent performance during hard braking.
Whether tackling hairpins or high-speed straights, the Streetfighter V4 remains stable and razor-sharp.
Revolutionary Electronics
Packed with Ducati’s latest electronic suite, the Streetfighter V4 provides riders with unmatched control. Key systems include:
- Ducati Traction Control (DVO)
- Wheelie Control
- Power Launch
- Quick Shift 2.0 for seamless gear transitions.
The 6.9-inch dashboard offers customizable views for road or track, displaying critical metrics like lap times, lean angles, and torque in an intuitive format.
Ready for the Road and Track
Arriving in March 2025 globally, the Streetfighter V4 and Streetfighter V4 S (featuring Öhlins suspension, forged wheels, and a lithium battery) promise a riding experience like no other. Available in a single-seater configuration with an optional passenger kit, this Ducati is designed to dominate both the track and the streets.
