2026 Ducati Panigale V2 S Ducati Red

2026 Ducati Panigale V2 S

The new Ducati Panigale V2 marks a historic transition in the history of Borgo Panigale twin-cylinder sports bikes. For the first time it does not derive from the larger motorcycle that competes in Superbike and has been designed from scratch, which has resulted in the creation of the lightest ever Panigale. It weighs a good 37.8 lb less than the previous model, inheriting the characteristic sports attitude and track performance of that bike and adding a level of ease, comfort and riding pleasure.

Features may include:

• New V2 engine

Featuring the classic 90° architecture, a Ducati twin trademark, the new V2 is equipped with an innovative electronic variable timing system that ensures substantial torque delivery at all engine speeds and real sports performance at the top end. Homologated with displacement of 890 cc, it weighs just 119 lbs, making it the lightest twin-cylinder ever produced in Borgo Panigale.

• Adjustable suspension

The standard version of the Panigale V2 is equipped with a fully adjustable 43 mm Marzocchi fork at the front and a Kayaba shock at the rear. The Panigale V2 S, complete with 43 mm Öhlins NIX30 fork and Öhlins shock, sets the benchmark for suspension in its category.

• Benchmark electronics

The Panigale V2 flaunts electronics derived from those of the Panigale V4. The new 5” TFT color display allows the rider to modify the levels of Cornering ABS, Traction Control, Wheelie Control and Engine Brake even while riding, in real time. The Panigale V2 is also equipped with the new Ducati Quickshift 2.0 as standard.

• Modern racing ergonomics

The ergonomic triangle of the Panigale V2 is modern, with a contained seat to handlebar height difference to ensure maximum feeling at the front end without excessively overloading the arms. This translates into comfort on the road and heightened performance on track. The footpegs are high and allow for significant lean angles but without locking the knees, for guaranteed comfort also during everyday use.
