Ducati has finally introduced the much expected 2025 Streetfighter V4 and V4 S in India, which acquires new performance and design norms within the hyper-naked category of motorcycles. The new Streetfighter series, with a price of Rs. 28.68 lakh (ex-showroom), is the most sophisticated yet by Ducati that is a blend in race based engineering with brutal street appearance.
This launch highlights the dedication of Ducati to make the world-class superbike performance accessible to Indian fans with the desire to have a blend of refinement and power coupled with sheer emotion.
Design and Styling: The Beast Refined.
The 2025 Streetfighter V4 delivers on its so-called Fight Formula personality, a blend of the Panigale V4 DNA with a bare-chested, muscular appearance. A perfect combination of aggressiveness and beauty has been carried out by the designers of Ducati as the new bike will be easily recognized and clearly developed.
The biplane winglets are still considered as the signature visual and aerodynamic characteristics, providing stability in high-speed and enhancing downforce. The streetfighter pose is enhanced with sharp LED lighting, sculpted lines of the fuel tank and an overall small tail. The update also incorporates fresh paint schemes such as Ducati Red or the dramatic Grey Nero paint scheme, which contribute to the dramatic visual effect and visual appeal.
Performance: Racing Heart Unleashed.
The Streetfighter V4 and the V4 S both use the same celebrated Ducati engine that was developed in MotoGP: the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale. V4 engine has exciting and liquid-cooled power producing 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 123 Nm of torque at 9,500 rpm.
The performance lovers will love the fact that Ducati has done refinement but not outright changes. The new engine mapping provides less stumpy power delivery in the city whilst retaining the explosive upper-end rush when using the track. The six-speed transmission still has Ducati Quick Shift EVO, which allows the gears to be shifted extremely fast, without using the clutch.
The scream is still very recognizable, and that is a deep, fulfilling growl, something only a Ducati V4 can produce.
High-tech Electronics and Rider Assist.
The 2025 Streetfighter V4 series enjoys the new generation of electronic assistants provided by Ducati, which gives the riders total control and trust. It has traction, wheelie, slide, cornering ABS and engine brake control, all of which has been well-tuned by a six-axis IMU.
Another strategy that Ducati has implemented is a new power mode strategy, which enables them to customize the performance to a greater degree based on the conditions of the road or even track. The 5-inch color touch display is still user-friendly and simple to use, and it provides a track-derived user interface showing real-time performance metrics.
Streetfighter V4 S takes it one step further and includes Ohlins Smart EC 3.0 semi-active suspension which automatically adjusts damping settings depending on the behavior of the riding. This gives it as comfortable on the urban roads as it is fast on the racetrack.
Chassis and Handling: Agile, Light, Dominant.
The refined chassis geometry that reduces agility without affecting the stability is one of the most remarkable achievements of Ducati. The bike has a lightweight aluminum frame and single sided swingarm that are all calibrated to agility and rigidity.
The Streetfighter V4 is the middle range between razor-sharp cornering and highway composure at 197.5 kg (dry weight) of the V4 and a mere 195 kg of the V4 S. The Brembo Stylema brakes have great braking capacity and the tires Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa IV tires are very grippy under wet and dry conditions.
All the details demonstrate the obsession of Ducati with the precision of performance.
India Pricing and Availability.
The 2025 Streetfighter V4 has a base price of Rs. 28.68 lakh (ex-showroom), or the more upscale V4 S version costs Rs. 32.99 lakh. Reservations have been made in the Ducati dealerships of the key cities in India, and the deliveries will start soon.
The new models place Ducati squarely on the top in the performance naked bike segment in India standing in direct competition with models like the Aprilia Tuono V4, BMW S 1000 R and Kawasaki Z H2.
The Last Word: A Statement of Pure Power.
Ducati has once again demonstrated its expertise in balancing the beauty and brutality with the 2025 Streetfighter V4 and V4 S. All the features of the new models including the aerodynamics, electronics etc are an implementation of the perfectionist approach with which the brand has continued to pursue perfection.
To the riders who require track level of performance on the road, but seek sophistication and uncompromising identity, the new Streetfighter collection is an experience that few motorcycles in the world can be matched.
