The Panigale For Real Ducati Purists: The Panigale V2

The Panigale V2 is the last remaining Panigale model that holds on to Ducati’s old-school twin-cylinder roots. The rest of the Panigale models in the 2021 Ducati line-up have evolved into modern V4 beasts. While they’re technologically more advanced, Ducati knows that there are plenty of purists who prefer their Ducati motorcycles with a fearsome Italian-made L-twin motor at the center of it all. Hence the new Panigale V2.

Forget the new Desmosedici Stradale V4, because the Panigale V2 is packing an old-school Superquadro instead. The 955 cc twin-cylinder engine produces a hearty 155 horsepower and 76.7 lb-ft of peak torque, which is more than enough to keep it competitive. As the replacement for Ducati’s old 959, the newer Panigale V2 is an ideal entry-level Panigale for those looking for exotic performance but in a slightly less aggressive package than the V4.

Like most of Ducati’s top-line sports machines, the Panigale V2 is equipped with a full suite of electronics and top-shelf riding aids. These are kept in line with an advanced 6-axis inertial measurement unit that governs the motorcycle’s traction control, engine braking control, ride modes, engine maps, wheelie control, and cornering ABS.

For 2021, the Panigale V2 is available in two distinctive color options. The first is the classic Ducati Red, but there’s also an all-new White Rosso Livery option for 2021 too.

The 2021 Ducati Panigale V2 starts at $16,495 USD / $18,995 CAD.
