2025 Ducati Panigale V2 Official Confirmed Specs and 890cc IVT Engine, 17kg Weight Reduction Delta Briefing
Official technical spec delta briefing for the all-new 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 unveiled at EICMA. Powered by a new 890cc 90° V2 engine with Intake Variable Valve Timing (IVT), it generates 120 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm. Built around a 4 kg aluminum monocoque chassis and a V4-derived double-sided swingarm, dry weight drops by 17 kg to 176 kg (V2 S). Featuring 30,000 km valve service intervals, Brembo M50 brakes, Pirelli tires, and a 5-inch TFT, it resets the middleweight supersport benchmark.

Ultralight 54.4 kg 890cc V2 Engine with Intake Variable Valve Timing
At the beating heart of the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 is an entirely new 890cc 90-degree V-twin engine designed completely from a clean slate. Featuring an oversquare 96.0 x 61.5 mm bore and stroke with a 13.1:1 compression ratio, the powerplant tips the scales at an astonishingly light 54.4 kg—shaving 9.4 kg off the outgoing 955cc Superquadro to become the lightest twin-cylinder engine in Borgo Panigale history. Crucially, the cylinder heads incorporate an Intake Variable Valve Timing (IVT) system spanning a 52-degree phase angle, ensuring that over 70% of maximum torque is instantly accessible from 3,000 rpm for exhilarating mid-corner drive. Peak output is rated at 120 hp (88 kW) at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Departing from complex desmodromic actuation, Ducati implemented high-rpm spring valves paired with DLC-coated finger followers, which dramatically widens valve clearance maintenance intervals to 30,000 km while lowering operating costs.
17 kg Weight Loss via Monocoque Frame and Panigale V4-Derived Symmetrical Swingarm
Chassis engineering on the new Panigale V2 centers on radical weight reduction and unfiltered handling precision. Utilizing the compact engine casing as a stressed structural member, the front aluminum monocoque frame weighs just 4 kg. In a daring philosophical shift, Ducati retired the traditional single-sided swingarm in favor of a hollow symmetrical aluminum double-sided swingarm directly inspired by the flagship Panigale V4. This architecture substantially suppresses lateral flex under deep lean angles while optimizing rear mechanical grip on corner exits. The cumulative result is a breathtaking 17 kg reduction in dry weight, pulling the Panigale V2 S down to 176 kg (179 kg for the base version). Suspension hardware consists of fully adjustable 43mm Marzocchi USD forks and a KYB rear shock on the base model, whereas the premier V2 S features race-grade Öhlins NIX-30 forks, an Öhlins rear monoshock, and an OEM lithium-ion battery for razor-sharp steering feedback.
6-Axis IMU Slide-by-Brake Suite and 5-Inch Color TFT InfoMode Cockpit
The electronic architecture inherits premier algorithmic strategies directly from the flagship Panigale V4. Governed by a high-speed 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), the Bosch Cornering ABS system introduces a track-derived Slide-by-Brake function that facilitates controlled backing-in into corner entries using the rear brake. The rider assistance suite is completed by Ducati Traction Control (DTC EVO 2), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Engine Brake Control (EBC), and the next-generation rodless magnetic hall-sensor Ducati Quick Shift (DQS 2.0). The rider interfaces with these systems via a 16:9 aspect ratio 5-inch full-color TFT cluster, offering three bespoke InfoModes: Road for everyday touring, Road Pro for spirited canyon carving, and Track for dedicated circuit telemetry. With four comprehensive Riding Modes (Race, Sport, Road, Wet), the platform delivers unprecedented middleweight supersport mastery across varied road conditions.

New Model Maintenance & Fitment FAQ
What are the engine displacement, maximum power, and peak torque of the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2?
The 2025 Panigale V2 is powered by an all-new 890cc 90-degree liquid-cooled V2 engine delivering 120 hp (88 kW) at 10,750 rpm and 93.3 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Equipped with Intake Variable Valve Timing (IVT), over 70% of peak torque is available from 3,000 rpm. An optional racing exhaust increases power to 126 hp.
How much weight did the 2025 Panigale V2 lose, and what are the swingarm changes?
The new Panigale V2 achieves a dry weight of 176 kg on the V2 S, slashing a remarkable 17 kg compared to the outgoing 955cc predecessor (the base model weighs 179 kg, down 14 kg). Furthermore, it transitions from a single-sided swingarm to a Panigale V4-inspired symmetrical double-sided aluminum swingarm to elevate corner-exit stability and mechanical grip.
How has the valve clearance service interval improved on the 2025 Panigale V2?
By replacing the traditional desmodromic mechanism with high-rpm spring valves and DLC-coated finger followers, the valve clearance inspection interval has expanded from 24,000 km to 30,000 km. This drastically cuts routine workshop service overhead and long-term ownership costs.
What are the primary differences between the base Panigale V2 and the Panigale V2 S?
The base Panigale V2 features 43mm Marzocchi USD forks and a KYB rear shock with a dry weight of 179 kg. The higher-spec Panigale V2 S upgrades to race-spec Öhlins NIX-30 forks, an Öhlins rear monoshock, Ducati Power Launch (DPL), Pit Limiter, and a lithium-ion battery, lowering dry weight to 176 kg.
