2022 Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP Winter Test

FULL EXHAUST SYSTEM AKRAPOVIC. 2022 Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP Winter TestTime FighterIntroducing the top-of-the-range Streetfighter V4 SP model, offered in a numbered version, and marked with the legendary “SP” (which stands for Sport Production). The new Streetfighter V4 SP is the most adrenaline-pumping naked bike to ever roll its wheels off the production line in Borgo Panigale.Aesthetically, the SP stands out from the pack thanks to its “Winter Test” livery, which Centro Stile Ducati created by taking inspiration from the bikes used during MotoGP and SBK pre-season testing.The new carbon rims, 3 lb lighter than those of the Streetfighter V4 S, significantly reduce the moment of inertia and contribute to an overall weight saving of 6.6 lb. The 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine features a counter-rotating crankshaft, “Twin Pulse” firing order, 208 HP of power and 90.4 lb-ft @ 11,500 rpm. The STM-EVO SBK dry clutch ensures a more effective anti-hopping function but also reproduces the characteristic sound that Ducatisti so appreciate. The comprehensive range of equipment is completed with Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension and the Brembo Stylema R® braking system with front calipers.Features may include:CHASSISCarbon Fiber Wheels5 split spokes premium-quality wheels are made of high-strength carbon fiber and feature aluminum hubs screwed to the composite structure. Both allow a weight saving of 3 lb compared to the forged aluminium wheels of the Streetfighter V4 S; moreover this figure is further improved with 7.5 lb less. The result? A significant reduction of moment of inertia, which provide for an increased agility and lightness when changing direction.Braking systemThe braking system consists of two 330 mm diameter Brembo discs at the front combined with new Brembo Stylema® R monobloc calipers, featuring racing-derived pistons equipped with ventilation holes, which improve the stability of the lever stroke even after numerous laps on the racetrack and further reduce the residual torque.ENGINEDesmosedici StradaleThe Streetfighter V4 SP is powered by the 1,103 cm³ Desmosedici Stradale, : 90°-V4 layout engine with Desmodromic distribution MotoGP-derived, featuring rare gems as the counter-rotating crankshaft and “Twin Pulse” firing order. The engine delivers 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and a torque of 90.7 lb-ft at 9,500 rpm.Dry clutchThe 90°-V4 layout engine features a 9-disc STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, made of machined aluminum. Compared to the wet clutch of the Streetfighter V4 S, in the extreme use on the track, the dry clutch guarantees a more effective anti-hopping function, even in the most aggressive downshifts, and greater fluidity in all phases of “off-throttle”. The assembly of the open clutch cover made of carbon fiber, included in the kit, gives the classic metallic sound which appealed to thousands of Ducatisti.
