D
ucti has filled a rather gaping
hole in its lineup for 2022 with
the arrival of the new Street-
fighter V2.
As you may have guessed, the
Streetfighter V2 is essentially the
Panigale V2 minus its clothes, although
there are a few differences with the
Superquadro 955cc engine output
slightly less at 150 horsepower and 75
lb-ft of torque, compared to the sport-
bike's 155 horsepower and 76.7 lb-ft.
The same aluminum monocoque
chassis has been employed with a 0.6-
inch longer swingarm, with fully adjust-
able 43mm Showa Big Piston Forks up
front and a Sachs shock and steering
damper completing the picture.
The Streetfighter's looks mimic
those of the bigger brother V4, but you
won't be getting wings as standard.
You can buy them in either carbon or
plastic via the accessory catalog if you
absolutely must have them.
The brakes are mid-level items in the
Brembo M4.32 four-piston monoblocs
gripping 320mm discs up front, with
the five-spoke wheels wrapped in the
new Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV rubber.
As for the electronics, you get 4.2-
inch TFT display and a six-axis Bosch
IMU that mitigates Cornering ABS with
Slide Control, traction, wheelie and
engine brake control and an up-and-
down quick shifter as standard. You'll
also get three riding modes in Sport,
Road and Wet, and the system can
be programed to use the Ducati Data
Analyzer and Multimedia system for
navigation and phone pairing.
The Streetfighter V2 will be available
at Ducati dealerships in North America
starting in February 2022 in the Ducati
Red color with black rims for $16,995
MSRP.
