The two-bike Ducati Streetfighter V4 lineup benefits from technical updates, following in the footsteps of the Panigale and Superleggera V4 superbikes. While far from an all-new edition, the 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 lineup has plenty of new features worth knowing about.
- The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 is available in a standard and an S model. The S model’s primary separator compared to the standard edition is its Öhlins semi-active S-EC 3.0 suspension. The standard model has a Showa BPF fork compared to the S’s Öhlins NIX30, while the standard’s rear suspension is a Sachs shock, and the S gets an Öhlins TTX36 unit. Both bikes get a new hollow symmetrical swingarm manufactured from aluminum.
- The Desmosedici Stradale 90-degree V4 gets new cam profiles and variable-length intake trumpets. This moves the peak power down and places it in different parts of the rev range. The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter’s 205 horsepower peak at 12,650 rpm is down from the 2024’s 208 horsepower at 13,000 rpm. The torque peak takes a hit and moves up in the rev range. The 2025’s maximum of 88 ft-lbs of torque is two ft-lbs less than last year and arrives at 11,500 rpm—2000 rpm farther up the powerband. Regardless, those remain impressive numbers.
- If you need more power, the track configuration with a Ducati Performance by Akrapovič racing exhaust boosts the peak to 226 horsepower. Of course, you can’t take advantage of that on the street—legally, at least.
- The Panigale-derived frame is all-new and 2.2 pounds lighter. This reduces stiffness and is claimed to improve cornering confidence. Overall, Ducati has cut nine pounds off the weight of the standard model and eight pounds on the S. The standard Streetfighter V4 weighs in at 446 pounds with high-test filling the 4.2-gallon fuel tank. The S is four pounds lighter, with part of the savings thanks to a lithium-ion battery and forged aluminum wheels.
- Brembo’s new Hypure calipers take hold of the massive 330mm front discs. Hypure calipers displace the Stylema calipers as top performers in the Brembo line. The Hypure calipers are two ounces lighter and are claimed to disperse heat more effectively.
- You’re seeing an all-new headlight and redesigned rear lighting. The tail is stretched, and the license plate holder is shortened. Seating for two is optional.
- A new dashboard greets the rider. The screen has an 8:3 aspect ratio and figures Optical Bonding technology for improved daytime readability. Resolution is 1280 x 480 pixels.
- If you would like to purchase a motorcycle from the 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V4 lineup, be patient. The bikes won’t hit Ducati dealership showroom floors until April. The two Streetfighter V4s are available in any color, as long as it’s Ducati Red. The S has a list price of $29,295, which is a $5900 premium over the standard Streetfighter V4.
