Ducati India Unveils New Black Livery For Panigale V2, Bookings Open Now

For its Panigale V2 motorcycle, Ducati India has unveiled a new black-on-black livery.

Currently, bookings for the new colour scheme are being accepted by the Italian manufacturer. But the price will be revealed later this month, as HT Auto. For comparison, the ex-showroom pricing of the Panigale V2 in the Ducati Red paint scheme is Rs 20.68 lakh.

The motorcycle has undergone no changes other than a new colour scheme. At first glance, the new black-on-black livery exudes power and an even more bold style.

It continues to be powered by a 955 cc L-twin engine known as Superquadro by Ducati. It produces 152 bhp of maximum power at 10,750 rpm and 104 Nm of peak torque at 9,000 rpm. The gearbox on duty is a 6-speed unit equipped with Ducati Quick Shift, which is essentially a bi-directional quickshifter with slipper clutch.

The Panigale twin has a simple appearance with clean lines, as well as modern electronics that make it both high-performance and pleasant on the road and track.

The Ducati Panigale V2 has an aluminium monocoque frame and a swingarm that is one piece and has one side. Furthermore, fully adjustable 43 mm Showa BPF forks support it, while a fully adjustable Sachs unit is located at the back.

The 17-inch alloy wheels with five spokes are fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II tyres. The Brembo Monobloc M4.32 4-piston callipers at the front and the 245 mm disc with the two-piston callipers at the back are responsible for grabbing the two 320 mm semi-floating discs that are radially mounted.

Features-wise, the rider can see all the important information on a 4.3-inch TFT colour screen. Additionally, the riding modes, Power Modes, Bosch Cornering ABS EVO, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO, Auto tyre calibration and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2 are all part of the safety net.

Meanwhile, Ducati’s standard features include Full LED illumination with Daytime Running Light (DRL), a Sachs steering damper and auto-off indicators. If the customer desires, he or she can purchase the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) with GPS module, Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), and anti-theft.
