In the world of supersport motorcycles, there’s performance, then there’s Panigale. The 2023 Ducati Panigale V2 slots in next to its V4 sibling as one of the best performance motorcycles on the market.
Engine and Power
With a displacement of 955cc, the Panigale V2 is powered by the now imfamous Superquadro engine. With 4 valves per cylinder and desmodromic technology, this L-twin delivers 155 hp at 10,750 rpm and a torque output of 104 Nm (76.7 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm.
The Superquadro engine is liquid-cooled, with unique packaging that increases the engine’s performance while maintaining a compact, sleek, and aerodynamic design. This provides the Panigale V2 a smooth and powerful ride, making it a perfect choice for both track and street riding.
Chassis and Suspension
The Panigale V2’s lightweight, rigid chassis is sprung up front with a fully-adjustable 43mm Showa BPF fork. This front suspension setup provides excellent stability, handling and comfort even at high speeds.
The rear suspension features an aluminum single-sided swing arm held aloft by a fully-adjustable Sachs coil-over-shock unit. This setup offers excellent traction and stability, especially while cornering.
The wheel travel of the Panigale V2 is 120 mm (4.72 in) at the front and 130 mm (5.12 in) at the rear. The bike ships equipped with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II tires (120/70 ZR17 front and 180/60 ZR17 rear) that offer excellent grip and stability on the road.
The Panigale V2’s braking system is also top-of-the-line, with 2 x 320 mm semi-floating discs up front clamped by radially-mounted Brembo Monobloc M4.32 4-piston callipers. In the rear a 245 mm disc and 2-piston caliper balance the braking forces front-to-rear. The Panigale V2 ships with Cornering ABS EVO at both the front and the rear, allowing you to find the limits of the bike, not just the limits of your nerve.

The dry weight of the Panigale V2 is just 388 lb, and features a seat height of 33.1 in, making it comfortable for riders of different heights to ride.
The fuel tank capacity of the Panigale V2 is 4.5 gal, which provides a decent range for a sports bike, allowing you to ride longer without having to stop to refuel. More miles. More laps.
