Highlights of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 (MY24)

The Streetfighter V4 was an instant success and set new performance benchmarks in the super sports naked segment. Universally appreciated for its aggressive and minimalist aesthetic, characterized by a front inspired by the Joker of the comics, the Streetfighter V4 immediately entered the hearts of enthusiasts.

The natural evolution of the family is a bike that pushes the concepts of the "Fight Formula" even further, the key elements of which are the Panigale V4 stripped of the fairings, high and wide handlebars, 178 kg weight, 208 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine, biplane wings and latest generation electronic package.

Design: an emotion amplifier

The new Streetfighter V4 is created to amplify the emotions of the rider by making him or her feel protagonist in every ride on the road. An unrivalled naked bike, modern and technological, with a powerful and exciting design, which does nothing to hide its performance, and which has met with great success from the general public and critics.

The bike conveys sportiness right from the first glance, with the single-seat configuration due to the presence, in the standard equipment, of the passenger seat cover that can be replaced with the saddle and footpegs supplied as is the case on the new Panigale V4. The tank, evolved in shape and with greater capacity (16.5 kg), is embraced by new side covers that support the wings.

Features of the S version

The S version is equipped with event-based Öhlins suspension with electronic control, based on the second generation Öhlins Smart EC. The S version is equipped with Marchesini 3-spoke forged aluminium alloy wheels

Key features

Chassis: The Streetfighter V4 confirms the chassis scheme involving Front Frame and single-sided swingarm, both made of aluminium, with upside-down fork and mechanically adjustable shock absorber on the V4 version, while the Streetfighter V4 S relies on Öhlins semi-active suspension with SmartEC 2.0 interface. The chassis layout is complemented by the trellis seatpost frame, attached above the "Front Frame" and bolted inferiorly to the rear bank head.

Ergonomics: Compared to the Panigale V4, the position in the saddle of the rider, who sits at a height of 845 mm from the ground, has been redefined according to the specifications of a naked model. As Streetfighter culture dictates, the clip-ons are replaced by a high and wide handlebar which, together with a saddle with a good 60 mm of padding and a less extreme position of the rider foot-pegs, guarantees sporty comfort in urban riding and the control necessary to attack extra-urban roads or the track. The Streetfighter V4 2024 also incorporates the ergonomic improvements made to the Panigale V4 family, integrating a tank with a different shape that offers greater support for the rider during braking and cornering.

Biplane wings by Ducati Corse : To reduce the lateral dimensions of the appendages as much as possible, it was decided to develop an aerodynamic configuration that provides two wings of reduced opening positioned in the shape of a biplane with the aim of making them work independently. The single appendage can be described as a wing with a single element and a rectangular plan, equipped with a winglet on the external lateral end. The wings have been positioned as close as possible to the front wheel (near the side radiator panels) in order to maximize the anti-wheelie effect.

State-of-the-art electronic setup : The electronic package includes controls that manage all riding phases: some are responsible for starting, accelerating and braking, others for monitoring traction, others relating to the phases of cornering and exit.
