Ducati Panigale v2 White Rosso
Ducati announces a brand-new colour option for the Ducati Panigale V2 which extends the colour range of V2 lineup. Since the Ducati Panigale V2 was launched, monochromatic red has been the only colour option; however, if you are planning on getting a Panigale V2, you now have the option to choose this brand-new colour scheme! Interested? The Panigale V2 in White Rosso livery will be available in Ducati dealers from July 2020!
The new Panigale V2 White Rosso livery comes with Star white silk as its main colour which really highlights the line and geometrical shape of the Panigale V2. On top of this; the Ducati red colour rims, red accents around the front air intakes and fairing further complement the powerful character of this V2 monster. Ducati says; “These last two red touches ideally accompany the path of the airflows inside the motorcycle, i.e. those that feed the engine and those that pass through the radiator.” Furthermore, the new livery features a large Panigale V2 logo, inspired by the graphics of Ducati Corse motorcycle; which completes the new livery.
The Italian motorcycle racer, Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia from Pramac Racing Team was able to enjoy the preview of the bike, where he got to test the bike at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
“Since 2016, my personal motto has been #GoFree. For me it means living in a light-hearted and carefree way; having fun and giving priority to the things you love to do. I think the Panigale V2 fits well with this definition and reflects my way of being “, said Pecco Bagnaia after trying the Panigale V2. “The new livery, so white, is very beautiful and different from the usual. Despite being a street bike, it surprised me how much speed it can have when cornering. It is a fun, very stable and very sincere bike that allows you to go fast, safely, without becoming tired, while having a very strong and decisive character and personality.”
Aside from the addition of this newer colour scheme, the mechanical components on the Panigale V2 are the same. Powered by a Eur0 5 compliant 955cc Superquadro twin-cylinder engine; the V2 Panigale puts out 155hp at 10,750 rpm and a peak torque of 104 Nm at 9,000 rpm. Did you know, thanks to the twin-cylinder layout, more than 70% of the peak torque is constantly available beyond 5,500 rpm, which lets the rider corner quickly around even the slowest corners?
Panigale V2’s monocoque frame is actually inspired by the bigger brother, the Panigale V4. As for the design and styling; the Panigale V2 also follows the other models from the Panigale family with; single-sided swingarm and a compact single lateral exit exhaust with under engine silencer.
As for the suspension, 43mm Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) and Sachs shock absorber take care of the business. In the case of the brakes; Brembo M4.32 monoblock callipers with radial brake master cylinder and 320mm discs at the front and single 245mm disc at the rear take care of braking.
In the case of electronics, the Panigale V2 comes with active safety and vehicle dynamics control which includes; Bosch ABS, electronic gearbox with operation also in downshift and traction, engine braking and wheelie controls. There are also three riding modes; Race,Sport and Street which can be navigated and adjusted via the 4.3 inch TFT colour instrument cluster.
