Ducati Streetfighter V4 and V4 S launched in India

Both motorcycles use the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine. It puts out 205 bhp of max power at 13,000 rpm and a peak torque output of 123 Nm at 9,500 rpm. The gearbox on duty is a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-direction quickshifter.

The fuel tank is shared with the 2022 Panigale V4 so the capacity is now rated for 16.5 litres. Moreover, there are new side covers on the sides. Ducati is also offering a new ‘Wet’ riding mode and the V4 S models get a lithium-ion battery that is 1.7 kg lighter. The graphics on the instrument cluster are revised. The cooling fan has been updated to offer better management of operating temperatures and better thermals for the rider.

The Streetfighter V4 S features semi-active Ohlins suspension (NIX30 upside-down 43 mm fork and TTX36 shock absorber) with SmartEC 2.0 interface. The rims are forged from aluminium alloy and are from Marchesini. The swingarm is now positioned 4 mm higher for better anti-squat action.
