The Ducati Streetfighter V4 has always been a fierce contender in the naked bike arena, but for 2025, it takes a leap closer to its fully-faired sibling, the Panigale V4.
Sharing more DNA than ever, the latest Streetfighter is practically a Panigale with the fairings stripped off—just what fans of raw power and precision wanted.
The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 and V4 S Are Closer Than Ever to the Panigale
Under the hood, the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine now features high-lift valves, a new alternator, oil pump, and variable-length intake horns lifted directly from the Panigale V4. Euro5+ models boast 214 hp at 13,500 rpm and 88.5 lb-ft at 11,250 rpm. North American specs drop slightly to 205 hp, but with an Akrapovič track exhaust, you’re looking at a staggering 226 hp.
Chassis upgrades mirror the Panigale’s lighter, stiffer front frame and a new double-sided swingarm—though diehards may mourn the single-sided design. Suspension varies by trim: the base model gets adjustable Showa and Sachs components, while the V4 S flaunts Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 tech. Braking is courtesy of Brembo Hypure calipers, bolstered by lean-sensitive electronics.
Ergonomics see subtle tweaks for comfort, while the cockpit introduces a 6.9-inch display packed with MotoGP-inspired algorithms managing traction, braking, and more. A redesigned biplane wing generates 37.5 pounds of downforce at 168 mph, blending form with function.
Starting at $23,395, or $29,295 for the premium V4 S, Ducati’s 2025 Streetfighter V4 is pure, unadulterated power with refinement to match. For riders chasing the thrill, this is the naked superbike to beat. Check it out at the Ducati website.
