Christmas seems to have come early for Ducati fans as the Italian two-wheeler manufacturer has unveiled its new lineup of motorcycles for 2020.
The bikes were showcased at the Milano-Rho Trade Fair Centre in Rimini, Italy, where the event also played host to all-new electric cycles that the company has launched.
Apart from the newly launched Ducati Streetfighter V4, the company also took the wraps off the new Panigale V2 and V4 alongside the new Ducati Diavel, the Scrambler and the new 1260cc Multistrada S.
The all-new Streetfighter V4 comes with a 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine capable of churning 208bhp of max power and 123Nm of peak torque. The foundation of the bike has been inspired by Ducati’s highest-selling bike, the Panigale V4.
The added biplane aerofoils offer more stability by generating 28 kg of downforce at 270 kph and it also packs the latest-generation electronics package, which comes with a 6-axis inertial measurement platform that instantly detects the bike's roll, yaw and pitch angles.
All of this packed in a frame that offers a total kerb weight of 178 kilograms (S version).
As for the other motorcycles, there are new colour schemes that have been made available for the Diavel and Ducati Scrambler, with a special Grand Tour version for the Multistrada 1260 S.
The Panigale V2 is the latest addition to the Ducati family which comes with a twin-cylinder 995cc Superquadro engine with a maximum power of 155 hp at 10,750 rpm offering max torque of 104Nm@9,000 rpm.
The Panigale V4 now comes with an updated front frame and adds aerofoils to the front with more efficient air vents. This provides better airflow protection and stability to the bike.
Also, the new V4 comes with a MotoGP derived 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine that can deliver 214 bhp of max power and peak torque of 125Nm@10,000 rpm.
