2026 DUCATI Panigale V2 S

THE DUCATI PANIGALE V2 S

The lightest Panigale of all time.

The new Ducati Panigale V2 and V2 S mark 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. The standard V2 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. The V2 S is even 7 lbs lighter than the standard V2!

You will also note that what the V2 S offers to set it apart from the standard V2 is its Öhlins Suspension (Öhlins NIX-30 forks with 43 mm diameter stems and Öhlins rear shock absorber), and that it is designed for a SOLO rider — without provisions to carry a passenger.

Pure Ducati DNA

A clean and simple design, smooth and expansive surfaces. Like every Ducati supersport, the Panigale V2 is as much about racing as it is elegance.

DESIGN: The Panigale V2 retains the design spirit of the V4, inheriting its sports attitude and reinterpreting it in a more compact, refined guise. The new Panigale V2 cleaves the air with complex volumes, conveying the perfect balance of aggression and elegance, typical of Ducati supersports. A more horizontal dynamic and less front load highlights the compactness of the new V2 engine.

PERFORMANCE: During the development tests, the new Panigale V2 proved to be as fast on the track as the previous model. This results were possible thanks to a weight of 37 lb a light and modern chassis, new ergonomics, a high-torque engine and an ease of riding unknown to the previous V2. On the saddle, the rider is comfortable from the very first corner and can stretch his limits more easily because of a reduced physical effort required.

ELECTRONICS: The electronics package on the Panigale V2 guarantees unmatched enjoyment, maximizing performance in total safety and offering complete control in every situation. It has the most comprehensive standard electronics package of any bike in its category.  

A VEHICLE DESIGNED FOR LIGHTNESS: Starting from scratch, Ducati engineers took advantage of the monocoque frame to create the lightest Panigale ever.

Explore the MAIN FEATURES.

• 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 rear shock, sets the standard for suspension in its category.


• BENCHMARK ELECTRONICS — The Panigale V2 models flaunt electronics derived from those of the Panigale V4, including: Riding Modes and Power Modes, Racing Cornering ABS, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Engine Brake Control (EBC), Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) 2.0, Ducati Power Launch, and Ducati Pit Limiter. The new 5” TFT color display allows the rider to modify settings even while riding, in real time. 


• 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.


• BRAKES — The Panigale V2 models are equipped with Brembo M50 callipers, which ensure outstanding performance on track and excellent controllability on the road. The master cylinder is radial while the brake discs measure 320 mm at the front and 245 mm at the rear. The coloured calipers, available as an accessory, add another personalized touch to the aesthetic.


• THERMAL COMFORT — The Panigale V2 and V2 S guarantee the rider real thermal comfort thanks to passive ventilation ducts designed to optimise the air flow and reduce heat during riding. This solution improves the riding experience, ensuring a comfortable temperature on even the hottest days.


• LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM WHEELS — The Panigale V2 models are equipped with new die-cast aluminum wheels featuring six “Y” spokes arranged in three groups of two. The Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires, 120/70 at the front and 190/55 at the rear, offer an impressive footprint and exceptional handling on the road. Those seeking maximum performance on track can mount slick tyres with a 190/60 rear, the same size used in the Supersport World Championship.
