When it comes to sportbikes, it is undeniable that Ducati leads the pack in terms of styling. And, for many sportbike riders, nothing beats a Black on Black livery and the Panigale V2 will soon be available with this color scheme to accompany the classic Ducati Red.
The Panigale V2, characterized by compact and muscular lines, is equipped with sophisticated electronics, designed to let the rider exploit its performance in total safety. The true sports bike DNA is also confirmed by the new standard Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa tires.
The new livery enhances the bold character of the Panigale V2. The predominance of dark matte grey is intercut with the presence of glossy black elements, for a refined final combination. The livery is completed by the Panigale V2 logo and the red details on the tank, fairings and wheels. Another new feature introduced by the Black on Black Livery is the saddle, with renewed graphics and materials.
The surfaces of the bike, tailored around the monocoque frame, highlight the shapes of the Superquadro twin-cylinder, while the front is dominated by the two air intakes that integrate the full-LED headlamp. The double-layer fairing – which sees a main fairing extending upwards to ideally embrace the tank and a secondary one with the function of an air extractor – offers the typical essentiality of Ducati sports bikes, emphasizing elegance and uniqueness.
Euro 5 approved, the Superquadro is as enjoyable to ride on the road as it is powerful and responsive on the track, with its 155 hp at 10,750 rpm and a torque value of 104 Nm at 9,000 rpm. Safety and total bike control are always guaranteed by the electronic equipment of the Panigale V2, based on the use of the 6-axis inertial platform. The electronic package includes ABS Cornering EVO, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2, and finally Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO, which helps the rider to optimize the stability of his or her Ducati in extreme cornering conditions.
The Panigale V2 is the protagonist of the DRE Racetrack Academy, which allows you to experience all the thrills of track riding, and of the DRE Track Warm Up Academy, the new-for-2023 course of the Ducati Academy dedicated to all amateur motorcyclists who want to learn the basics for the right approach to circuit riding. Both courses include the exclusive participation of Dario Marchetti, rider, instructor and DRE Technical Director.
