2025 Ducati Panigale V2 Arrives in Malaysia

The all-new 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 has arrived in Malaysia.

Ducati Malaysia hosted an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated 2025 Panigale V2 and Multistrada V2 at the Ducati flagship showroom, marking a new chapter in Ducati’s middleweight range. The event, held ahead of the Naza Automania Vol.3 weekend, welcomed invited top Ducatisti, DOC Malaysia members and dealer network representatives for an up-close first look at the latest evolution of two of Ducati’s most celebrated models.

“The Panigale V2 and Multistrada V2 range embody the perfect balance of innovation, performance, and style, reaffirming our commitment to making the Ducati experience more accessible to Malaysian riders. We remain deeply appreciative of the support from our dealers and the Malaysian riding community as we continue to grow together,” said Rizal Jailan, CEO of Naza Automotive Holdings.

To recap, the 2025 Panigale V2 features the new 90° V-Twin (Ducati calls it the “L-Twin”) engine which replaces the Superquardro.

Engine highlights
  • The new 890cc V2 (90º V-Twin) engine it entirely new, producing 120hp and 93.6Nm compared to 148hp and 104.4Nm.
  • It features Intake Variable Timing (IVT), which adjusts intake timing up to 52°, to deliver smooth torque at low revs, sharp response in the mid-range, and exhilarating performance at high rpm.

  • Over 70% of maximum torque is available from 3,000 rpm, with more than 80% sustained between 3,500 and 11,000 rpm.
  • The fat, low- and mid-range RPM torque delivery brings back the traditional V2 torque delivery.

  • The valvetrain features spring valve actuation like that in the Granturismo V4 engine, as opposed the Ducati’s synonymous Desmo valvetrain.
  • As such, valve clearance interval is stretched to 45,000 km.

  • DLC-coated rockers, chain-driven cams, and hollow intake valves save an extra 5% of weight.
  • Also like the Granturismo V4, the new V-Tw… L-Twin’s cylinder liners are aluminium.

  • These measures mean the new engine weighs in at only 54.4 kg, which is 9.4 kg lighter than the Superquardro.
  • The racing exhaust system pack liberates 126hp and reduces a further 4.5kg.

Motorcycle highlights

The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 is Ducati’s lightest twin-cylinder supersport model. Drawing from Ducati’s twin-cylinder legacy, it blends exhilarating speed with reduced effort, allowing riders of all levels to ride faster with confidence. Its styling borrows from the Panigale V4, with sharp LED lighting, sculpted aerodynamics, and a MotoGP-inspired tail that combines elegance with aggression. Ergonomic refinements, including a reshaped tank and improved airflow management, enhance comfort while preserving precise front-end feel.

The new aluminium monocoque chassis, dual-sided swingarm, and fully adjustable suspension balance agility with stability, while the V2 S raises the bar with Öhlins suspension, Brembo M50 brakes, and a 176 kg dry weight. A six-axis IMU underpins advanced electronics (Cornering ABS, DTC, DWC, EBC and Quick Shift 2.0) controlled through four Riding Modes and displayed via a new 5” TFT with race-derived interfaces. The result is a sharper, lighter, and more approachable Panigale that delivers the thrill of a superbike on both road and track.

Price

The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 is priced from RM125,000 (for the standard V2).
