2025 Ducati Panigale V2 Launched in India at Rs 19.12 Lakh

Ducati has just launched the 2025 Panigale V2, and it brings a massive change under the fuel tank. The best part? It starts at an enticing Rs. 19.12 lakh (ex-showroom), making it significantly more accessible than the bike it replaces.

What’s the Big Upgrade with the Ducati Panigale V2 Model?

Ducati has fundamentally rethought the Panigale V2's role. The goal was clear: create a more approachable and rider-friendly supersport machine. They've done this by giving it an all-new heart and putting it on a serious diet.

Ducati Panigale V2 With A Brand New Engine

The headline update is the new 890cc V-twin engine. Yes, you read that right. It's smaller than the outgoing 955cc motor. This new powerplant produces 120bhp and 93.3Nm of torque.

So, why less power? Ducati says the previous Ducati Panigale V2 was almost too sharp and aggressive for many riders. This new engine focuses on a more usable powerband and a friendlier character. It’s about rideability, not just peak numbers. This makes it a much more compelling option for track day newcomers and spirited street riding.

A Lighter and More Agile Machine

Performance isn't just about power. It's about weight. And the new Panigale V2 is noticeably lighter. The standard model has a dry weight of 179kg, while the premium V2 S tips the scales at just 175kg. This weight loss translates directly to sharper handling and easier direction changes. You will feel the difference on your first ride.

Is the Electronics Package Still Top-Shelf?

Absolutely. Ducati hasn't cut corners here. The 2025 Panigale V2 comes loaded with a full suite of electronics, managed by a sophisticated six-axis IMU. You get cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and engine brake control. A bi-directional quickshifter is also standard.

Both versions get a crisp 5-inch TFT display and four riding modes: Race, Sport, Road, and Wet. These modes instantly tweak the bike's character to suit your environment.

What’s the Difference Between the Base V2 and the V2 S?

This is a key question for buyers. The standard Panigale V2, priced at Rs. 19.12 lakh, uses a fully adjustable Marzocchi fork and a Kayaba monoshock. It’s a high-quality setup ready for serious riding.

The Panigale V2 S, costing Rs. 21.10 lakh, steps up to top-tier, fully adjustable Öhlins suspension at both ends. It also gets launch control and a pit limiter as standard, while the base model offers these as an optional extra. Your choice depends on how much premium suspension and track-ready tech you desire.
