After the release of the Streetfighter V4 and Streetfighter V4 S, Ducati has unveiled its latest creation, the Ducati Streetfighter V2, powered by a 955 cc twin-cylinder engine. This new edition offers a monocoque aluminium chassis connected with 43 mm fully adjustable forks in the front and a fully controllable mono-shock at the rear segment of the bike.
Italian sports bike maker Ducati has introduced fair competition in the Indian market with its lowest-priced Streetfighter range. The Streetfighter V2 is directly comparable with other performance bikes with a similar price quotient available in India, like Triumph Street Triple, Kawasaki Z900, and BMW F 900 R. Ducati India will supply the latest model in their flagship red colour.
The Streetfighter V2 is the third model of Ducati’s Streetfighter series in India. Incorporated with a 6-speed manual transmission unit and a bi-directional quick-shifter, the sports bike can yield a maximum output of 150.5 bhp at 10,750 rpm and peak torque of 101.4 Nm at 9,000 rpm. The V2 can also be deemed the non-ornamental version of the Ducati Panigale V2, though both models are powered by the same 955 cc twin-cylinder engine and have similar exhaust systems.
The engine has Ducati’s patent Superquadro specification or a 90-degree configuration, as provided by Ducati in all its bikes, alongside the additional liquid cooling and desmodromic valve system.
The Streetfighter V2 and the Streetfighter V4 are widely similar in various aspects of their initial design. The bike comes with a V-shaped LED light and a huge fuel tank with a capacity of 17 litres.
The Ducati Streetfighter V2 owns dual 320 mm four-piston disc brakes at the front, provided by Brembo, whereas the bike has a 245 mm disc brake with a two-piston calliper at the back.
The Streetfighter V2 has a weightage of almost 200 kgs and features a Ride by Wire system. Ducati says that the Streetfighter V2 has a mileage of 17 kmpl at best.
Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable and malleable raw material, making it a favourable choice for the vehicular industry. Moreover, it is lighter than steel which ultimately decreases the weight of the end product.
