Target Audience
This isn’t a bike for everyone-it’s for those who ride with purpose. The new Panigale V2 is for:
- Experienced riders who want something lighter and more manageable than a liter bike
- Track day lovers who still ride on the street
- Ducatisti looking for an upgrade with signature Italian performance
- And those who want performance without compromising comfort
Whether you’re coming from a 600cc bike or just want a bike with superbike genes and everyday usability, this V2 hits that sweet spot.
Its Impact on the Market
The 2025 Panigale V2 is Ducati’s answer to riders who want superbike tech but without the overkill. With competition from the Kawasaki ZX-10R and BMW S 1000 RR, the V2 doesn’t go head-to-head in brute power but instead banks on its lightweight build, top-tier electronics and refined character.
It’s a move that could change what India’s premium middleweight segment looks like blurring lines between track weapon and everyday rider.
Its Performance
Now, let’s focus the discussion on what matters. The new V2 engine 890cc comes with almost120 bhp while torque is at an impressive 93.3 Nm. What about the 955 cc? On paper it looks like a reduction but in practice its significantly more.
Due to the new Panigale’s broader torque curve, it pulls strongly from 3,000 rpm which makes it great for India’s congested traffic as well as speedy highways overtakes and works beautifully responsive at lower revs.
Braking power together with Bosch Cornering ABS provides you top-notch control even during hard corner lean, coupled with M50 calipers up front brakes is phenomenal.
Its Price
Now, ₹19 to ₹21 lakh isn’t cheap. But in Ducati terms, it’s the “accessible superbike.” With top-end parts, race-derived tech and a new chassis, you’re not just paying for the badge you’re investing in a complete bike.
And here’s the cherry on top: longer service intervals 15,000 km oil changes and 30,000 km valve checks. That’s Ducati being practical.
Riding Experience
This isn’t just a performance bike. Ducati has worked hard to make the 2025 V2 rideable.
- The new riding position is less brutal on your back and wrists
- Heat management has improved thanks to ventilation ducts a big win for Indian summers
- The electronic suite, with multiple ride and power modes, lets you tune the bike to your mood be it “Race Track Hero” or “Sunday Cruise Boss”
It’s that rare sportbike that you can live with, not just lust after.
