Finally,
Ducati India has brought in its first BS VI complaint motorcycle model for
2020, the all-new Panigale V2. The all-new Panigale V2 in India was launched at
Rs 16.99 lakh (Ex-Showroom India).
The Panigale V2 is equipped with a 955cc
twin cylinder Superquadro engine which is now BS-VI compliant, delivers more
power (+5 HP) and torque (+2 Nm) thanks to new injectors (larger in size with a
different working angle) and a more efficient snorkel which minimizes pressure
loss.
The
V2 also features a new compact exhaust, routed entirely underneath the engine
giving a clean look to the beautiful lines of the youngest member of the
Panigale superbike family.
Bipul
Chandra, Managing Director of Ducati India said the Panigale V2 is the
company’s first BS6 motorcycle for 2020 and it has received tremendous customer
response with an overwhelming consumer engagement.
Unlike
the outgoing model, the Panigale V2 features a single-sided aluminium swingarm,
the hallmark of every high-end sports Ducati. Gently moulded around the refined
monocoque frame, the extensive fairing highlights the more compact
twin-cylinder Superquadro engine creating a bike that is visibly leaner and
less intimidating than the Panigale V4.
The
front headlight assembly is extremely compact on the Panigale V2. The DRL and
the upper rim of the dual headlight assembly create the iconic V-style profile.
At the rear, the full-LED tail light features a two-part design as per Ducati
sports tradition. Boasting of cutting-edge electronics package, it features the
latest generation electronics suite based on a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit
that instantly detects the bike's roll, yaw and pitch angles. It Includes
Cornering ABS EVO, Ducati Traction Control EVO 2, Ducati Quick Shift EVO 2,
Ducati Wheelie Control EVO, Engine Braking Control EVO and all these
electronics never leave the rider in any doubt that the Panigale V2 is a
thoroughbred Ducati which raises the active safety and dynamic control
standards on the motorcycle.
All
controls are incorporated in the three Riding Modes (Race, Sport, Street) and
can be adjusted via the all-new 4.3" colour TFT dashboard. Featuring a
user-friendly graphic interface, browsing menus, adjusting settings and
identifying the selected Riding Mode couldn't be easier.
The
Panigale V2 has revised ergonomics aimed at improving comfort and ensuring
safety. The new seat allows for greater longitudinal movement of the rider and
greater comfort thanks to the new foam that raises it by 5 mm. The position of
the foot pegs remains the same.
The
updated suspension set-up on the Panigale V2 includes a fully adjustable 43 mm
Showa Big Piston Fork at the front, fully adjustable side-mounted Sachs
mono-shock at the rear, & a cross-mounted Sachs steering damper for
improved comfort. The Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II derived from WSBK, grace
the Panigale V2 both on the front and at the rear. The tires combine racetrack-level
performance with road versatility & ensure superior grip on all surfaces.
The
V2 is also higher from the ground - 2 mm at the front & 5 mm at the rear.
This ergonomic change combined with the new Pirelli tires makes the bike more
intuitive, agile and fun to ride.
The
Panigale V2 It comes with an entire range of apparel and accessories. Bookings for
the bike are open across all Ducati dealerships in Delhi – NCR, Mumbai, Pune,
Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Kochi, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad.
