2022 Ducati Streetfighter V2 - gallery

Ducati rolls into 2022 with a freshly updated Streetfighter V2 model that displays copious amounts of Panigale DNA, but in a more street rider-friendly package.

New ergonomics strike a balance between sport-tastic handling and comfort to appeal to a wide swath of riders. Performance and ride-control electronics remain on the top shelf.

It isn't just a stripped down Panigale V2 since the Streetfighter has better ergonomics and has more torque in the mid-to high rev range than its Panigale cousin,

and delivers more than enough power for a thrilling ride.

A fresh take on the chassis geometry leaves the Streetfighter V2 light, narrow, and oh so sporty with an eagerness in the corners and flickable nature.

Handling is very sportbike-like, but the upright rider position makes the Streetfighter so much more comfortable for a bit of distance riding.

Showa supplies the usd, BPF front suspension with chromed, 43 mm inner tubes and the full trinity of tweaks.

Sachs gets some business as well with its steering damper and fully-adjustable rear suspension.

Riding Modes bundle control over the Bosch Cornering ABS, traction control, Engine Brake, and Wheelie Control for quick personality changes and a solid foundation of electronic safety goodies.

The Ducati Quickshift feature lets you bang your way both up and down the range without touching the clutch or even rolling off the throttle.

It also limits slippage during engine-brake actions for a more natural feel on the downshifts.

In the interest of keeping the bike looking clean for street riders, the factory held back the downforce-generating biplane-wing features,

but if you're definitely looking to hit the track, the wings are available in the accessories catalog.

TFT tech drives the instrument display, while the rest of the bike rocks LED emitters for the visibility and safety they bring to the table.

As for the infotainment features, the Ducati Multimedia System is available as a plug-and-play option.

MSRP starts at $17k in the U.S. market.
