Ducati India has lost a tiny teaser image on its social networking handle, signaling the initiation of the brand new Panigale v-2 is on the corner. Ducati showcased the Panigale v2 at the EICMA 20-19. And also we were one of the couples that got an opportunity to sample it in Jerez, Spain.
Some Similarities:
The Ducati Panigale v 2 has a lot going for this, you start with its styling. In various ways that it resembles a scaled Panigale V-4, replete with a single-sided swing-arm. Even the v 2 looks as eloquent and meaningful whilst the Panigale V-4 nonetheless. It’s quite a bit thinner from how it seems and feels as soon as you’re about the saddle. That is only because, under the brand new bodywork, this can be a Panigale 959. The V2’s framework is equal for the 959’s, save to the rear subframe which has redesigned to adapt the tail section.
Other similarities into the 959 comprise the suspension, that has been transported forward, albeit with several alterations into the internals. In the front end, there is a flexible, 43mm Showa big-piston fork and also at the back. So there exists a Sachs monoshock using a 2mm longer jolt and also a milder inventory setting onto the preload.
Nevertheless, the actual essence of this baby Panigale is at its 955cc Superquadro motor. Though it is the same as in the 959, it’s been upgraded to conform to Euro 5/BS6 emission standards. The biggest benefit of the upgrade (ecological motives apart ) is a 5hp growth in power. The Panigale V2 produces 155-hp in 10,750rpm and 104Nm of torque at 9,000rpm. The engine is coupled into your 6-speed gearbox using an up-down quick shifter as standard.
