Ducati has launched the Streetfighter V4 and Streetfighter V4S in India. The twin supernakeds have been listed on the Ducati India website, priced at Rs 24,62,400 and Rs. 28,00,000 (both ex-showroom, pan India). Both bikes will be available for sale across all Ducati dealerships from March 12 onwards.
The latest iteration of the Streetfighter V4 comes with plenty of subtle upgrades although the sharp and sporty design of the older model has been retained. Visual highlights of the supernaked streetfighter include a pointed LED headlight, muscular fuel tank, a stubby, underbelly exhaust muffler, and a slender tail section.
Ducati Streetfighter V4, V4S: What’s new?
Although the design remains the same, Ducati claims the latest version of V4 to carry a larger 17-litre fuel tank underneath. The standard V4 can be bought in the Ducati Red colour while the Streetfighter V4S comes in two options— Grey Nero and Ducati Red.
In terms of features, it gets a new TFT digital dash layout for the Track mode which resonates with the new Panigale V4.. Further, the electronics package sees some revision. For starters, it gets two new power modes– Full and Low– in addition to the existing High and Medium modes. One significant upgrade is the cylinder deactivation technology added to the 2024 Streetfighter V4 especially in the hot and sultry conditions of India.
Ducati Streetfighter V4, V4S: Hardware
The new Ducati Streetfighter V4 and V4S gets the same underpinnings as before with some fundamental differences between two variants. The base Streetfighter V4 sits on fully adjustable Showa Big Piston front forks and a Sachs monoshock, whereas the V4S gets more premium Ohlins NIX30 front forks and an Ohlins TTX36 monoshock — both electronically adjustable.
Braking duties are carried out by twin 330mm front discs and a single 245mm rear disc accompanied by dual-channel ABS. Moreover, the swingarm pivot is now mounted 4mm higher and that helps in shifting the weight forward, thus enabling the rider to enter and exit the corner smoother. Ducati has equipped the Streetfighter V4 with 17-inch alloy wheels whereas the V4S uses aluminium wheels. These come wrapped in 120/70 front and 200/60 rear Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa 2 tyres.
Ducati Streetfighter V4, V4S: Powertrain specs
Powering the 2024 Ducati Streetfighter range is a familiar 1,103cc V4 liquid-cooled Desmosedici Stradale engine which dishes out 208 bhp at 13,000rpm and 123 Nm at 9,500rpm. This motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. IT also benefits from a bi-directional quickshifter.
