Street Fighter design as the name suggests
The 2025 model Panigale V4/V4S basically inherits the engine and body of the previously announced Panigale V4/V4S. The full cowl has been removed and replaced with a mid-cowl with a compact headlight cowl and winglets, and the handlebars have been replaced with pipes, giving it a street fighter style as its name suggests. The winglets are not just for decoration, but are said to generate about 17 kg of downforce at 270 km/h.
Equipped with the engine and body of the Panigale V4/V4S, the Streetfighter V4S's strong performance makes it worthy of the name "Streetfighter".
The striking front face and massive body design give it the air of a wild beast stalking its prey.
It can be said that the full fairing has simply been removed from the Panigale V4/V4R, and the bike is given top-end performance.
The raised seat cowl gives it a combative image. The handlebars that control the power are slightly low pipe type.
Streetfighters are a very popular category in Europe, and many manufacturers have released streetfighter models. However, the Streetfighter V4/V4S, which uses the body and engine of the Panigale V4/V4S, which is extremely close to a pure racing machine, can be said to be the most extreme model in the streetfighter category.
The Streetfighter V4S, with its tapered body, is built to allow all riders to go fast, from the street to the circuit.
The front view has a strong impression with its large protruding winglets, and the low-set light cowling is equipped with LED type DRLs.
All manufacturers use these winglets in MotoGP. They are double-stacked and generate about 17kg of downforce at 270km/h.
The seat and tank have been redesigned to allow for greater freedom of vertical movement, and the top of the tank now has a recess to prevent interference with a helmet.
The seat cowl has a large slit, and the seat fabric is made of a non-slip material to improve grip when cornering.
The Streetfighter V4 is positioned as the standard model, but its engine specifications are the same as the V4S.
Equipped with the Desmosedicistradale inherited from MotoGP
The engine is the Desmosedici Stradale, a DOHC 4-valve V-type 1103cc engine that is used in the Panigale V4/V4S. Naturally, this engine meets the Euro 5+ emission regulations, and with its reverse-rotating crankshaft and twin pulse timing, it produces a sound very similar to the Desmosedici GP used in MotoGP machines. The cam profile has been changed from the previous model to increase the lift value, and the same alternator and oil pump as those used in the Panigale V4R and the gear drum used in the Superleggera V4 are used.
The maximum output is 214hp/13500rpm, which is 6hp higher than the previous Streetfighter V4. The maximum output is 2PS lower than the Panigale V4/V4S, and the maximum torque is 12.2kgm/11250rpm, which is about 0.1kgm lower, but this is due to the difference in the intake port and can be said to be within the margin of error. The Streetfighter V4's vehicle weight excluding fuel is 191 kg, the same as the Panigale V4, and the Streetfighter V4S is 189 kg, 2 kg heavier than the Panigale V4S's 187 kg. In addition, by installing the optional Ducati Performance by Akrapovic Racing Exhaust, the maximum output is increased to 226 hp.
The engine is the Desmosedicistradale inherited from the Panigale, and has a maximum output of 214hp, 6hp more than the previous model.
Equipped with a frame inherited from the Panigale and a double-supported hollow symmetrical swingarm
Based on the new Panigale, the Streetfighter V4/V4S chassis is completely new, with a lighter front frame at 3.47 kg compared to the previous 4.42 kg, and a rebalanced front frame with 39% less lateral stiffness compared to the previous model. This improves confidence when leaning and improves efficiency when catching the apex of a corner and maintaining its trajectory.
In addition, the new double-sided hollow symmetrical swingarm improves traction when exiting corners and the rider's sensation when accelerating. The swingarm has 43% less lateral stiffness compared to the previous model, and the swingarm and forged rear wheel assembly are 2.9 kg lighter.
Unlike the previous model, which used a single-sided swingarm, this model also has a swingarm on the right side. The brakes use Brembo calipers.
The swingarm, with its large hole design, has a 43% reduction in lateral rigidity compared to the previous model, and the rigidity balance has been reviewed.
The Streetfighter V4 suspension is equipped with a fully adjustable Showa BPF in the front and a fully adjustable Sachs in the rear, while the V4S is equipped with an Ohlins NIX-30 fork in the front and an Ohlins TTX36 shock absorber in the rear. The V4S suspension, including the steering damper, is electronically controlled by the Ohlins Smart EC3.0 control system.
The V4S's front forks are Ohlins NIX-30s, and are electronically controlled along with the rear shock and steering damper.
The front brake calipers are Brembo high-pure monobloc calipers and are controlled by the Race eCBS system with cornering function.
The rear shock of the V4 is manufactured by Sachs. It is a fully adjustable type, so it can be used for circuit driving.
The brakes are equipped with Brembo high pure monobloc calipers at the front and the Race eCBS system with cornering function developed by Ducati in collaboration with Bosch. This system applies the rear brake every time the front brake is activated, based on the bank angle and rear load, limiting the load transfer during the braking phase both in action and on the track and improving the stability of the bike.
The wheels of the Streetfighter V4 are of a light alloy 5-spoke type, while the V4S is equipped with 5 tangential spokes inspired by the Desmosedici GP wheels. These forged aluminum alloy wheels are very light, weighing 2.95 kg at the front and 4.15 kg at the rear, and by reducing the unsprung weight, it is possible to achieve even higher maneuverability.
The V4's steering damper is made by Sachs. It is a basic hydraulic type with no electronic controls.
Equipped with a comprehensive electronic control system and a new dashboard
The Streetfighter V4/V4S is equipped with DVO (Ducati Vehicle Observer), an algorithm developed by Ducati Corse for MotoGP. It can simulate the input of more than 70 sensors to adjust the electronic control, achieving effects that have never been seen before in mass-produced vehicles. The precision of this function allows the control to intervene almost predictively, responding quickly to the rider's needs to pursue the best performance.
Based on this DVO, the Streetfighter V4/V4S is equipped with a complete electronic control package, including Ducati Traction Control DVO, Ducati Slide Control, Ducati Wheelie Control DVO, Ducati Power Launch DVO, Engine Brake Control, and Ducati Quick Shift 2.0.
The cockpit is equipped with a newly developed 6.9-inch dashboard with an aspect ratio of 8:3, which is made with optical bonding technology to prevent reflections and improve visibility. The layout of the gauges can be changed depending on the application. When the view mode is selected, the tachometer is moved to the right and the right column is compressed to create space on the left to display the various available functions such as TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), instantaneous torque and power, lateral and longitudinal acceleration values, instantaneous lean angle, throttle and brake operation. The Road Info mode emphasizes the circular tachometer placed in the center, with the gear displayed inside. The left side of the screen allows you to manage the settings, the navigator (if installed), the music player, the smartphone and the heated grips. The Track mode is combined with the Race riding mode by default, resulting in a layout that places maximum emphasis on the most important information for circuit riding. The tachometer is placed at the top of the screen, the center shows which gear is engaged, and the right side shows the level settings of the electronic control and its activation status. There's a stopwatch in the left column, and by attaching a DDL accessory or via a GPS module, it's possible to display lap times, various split times, lap counts, etc.
The new Streetfighter V4/V4S is packed with technology derived from MotoGP racers in every part, and there is a wide range of optional parts available that give it high performance that can be said to be the pinnacle of the streetfighter category, and together with the new Panigale V4/V4S, it is likely to lead the motorcycle industry next year.
An optional Akrapovic exhaust system is available to further unleash the engine's potential.
The winglets made of carbon fiber give the motorcycle a more racy look.
A step kit with a carbon heel plate. The main body is made of machined aluminum parts and finished with high precision.
The new Street Fighter V4/V4S, which will likely demonstrate its speed in any situation, will be available in Japan early next year.
