2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 S First Look
D
ucati used Thanksgiving Day
to unveil the latest Streetfight-
er V4 S. With sharper electronics,
refined aerodynamics, a revised
chassis and increased power, the
Streetfighter V4 S is now angled
more closely than ever to the
Panigale V4 S superbike.
At its heart is the 1103cc
Desmosedici Stradale engine
lifted straight from the Panigale,
delivering a very stout (claimed)
205 hp at 12,500 rpm and 88 lb-
ft of torque at 11,500 rpm. There
have been subtle intake tweaks
to smooth out the power delivery
across the rev range, though it
sacrifices two horsepower at the
top end.
The optional Akrapovic racing
exhaust boosts output to an eye-
opening 226 hp. The Streetfight
-
er's engine incorporates the same
updates as the Panigale V4.
The chassis borrows heavily
from the Panigale, with the same
front frame and double-sided
swingarm that reduces weight
by 2.2 pounds while giving
increased flexibility. Like the
Panigale, these chassis updates
allow for a 37 percent reduction
in lateral stiffness up front and
a 42 percent reduction at the
rear, improving traction and rider
feedback.
The base model runs fully
adjustable Showa Big Piston
forks and a Sachs monoshock,
while the Streetfighter V4 S gets
the Ohlins Smart EC 3.0 NIX/
TTX electronic suspension. The
Streetfighter V4 S retains the
Panigale's bi-plane winglets gen
-
erating 37 pounds of downforce
at 168 mph.
Ergonomic upgrades include
repositioned handlebars and
footpegs, and internal heat de-
flectors to channel hot air away
from the rider.
The 2025 Streetfighter V4 base
model is priced at $23,395 and
the V4 S will cost $29,295.
