New Delhi: Ducati has launched the 2025 Streetfighter V2 in India, expanding its sport naked motorcycle line up. I have always found Ducati bikes a bit wild and loud in character, and this one seems to follow the same attitude. It borrows its core from the Panigale V2 but strips down the fairing to show its lean muscle clearly.
The Streetfighter V2 lands at a price that places it in the premium middleweight market. Enthusiasts who want aggressive performance without fully committing to superbike ergonomics will be curious about this new model.
Ducati has introduced two versions in India. The standard Streetfighter V2 is priced at ₹17,50,200. Above that, the Streetfighter V2 S comes in at ₹19,48,900. The S version gets more advanced suspension equipment and even a lighter battery. Both are offered in Ducati Red.
These prices place the motorcycle against strong rivals from Triumph, Kawasaki and Aprilia. But the very Ducati personality still gives it a unique place among sport naked machines.
The Streetfighter V2 uses a newly updated 890 cc V2 engine producing 120 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm torque at 8,250 rpm. Ducati says more than 70 percent of torque kicks in early at 3,000 rpm. This makes city riding less stressful and quick overtakes easier.
Riders who want to take it to the track can add a racing exhaust that bumps output to 126 hp while dropping a few kilos. Gear shifts are supported by the second generation Ducati Quick Shift system.
The new chassis setup keeps weight low. Dry weight stands at 178 kg for the Streetfighter V2 and 175 kg for the V2 S. The lighter S variant gets Öhlins suspension front and rear, which will matter a lot to serious riders. Standard variant uses adjustable Marzocchi and Kayaba units.
Both use a double sided swingarm and steering damper. Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres and Brembo M50 monobloc brakes with 320 mm front discs handle grip and stopping force. Ducati seems to be making this motorcycle capable of city streets and weekend corner carving.
The motorcycle carries a 6 axis IMU which manages rider aids. These include ABS Cornering with a slide function, traction control with predictive behaviour, and wheelie control. There are four riding modes. A 5 inch TFT display gives full control over settings and ride information.
The bike keeps the typical Streetfighter look with mass focused toward the front. LED lighting gives it a sharp face. Seat height is 838 mm, which is manageable for many riders in India. The handlebar and footpeg layout aims to reduce weight transfer stress during braking and cornering. I know many riders who like naked bikes exactly for this reason.
This launch gives India’s performance biking segment another exciting entry. Buyers wanting a motorcycle that looks aggressive, handles sharply and works for both daily and weekend riding will keep this in their shortlist.
