Features:

CHASSIS

• BRAKING SYSTEM: The brake department consists of two 13-inch diameter Brembo discs at the front combined with the new Brembo Stylema R® monobloc calipers, with racing-derived pistons equipped with ventilation holes, which improve the stability of the lever travel after numerous laps of the track and reduce residual torque.
• CARBON FIBER WHEELS: The high-quality wheels of the Streetfighter V4 SP2, with 5 split spokes, are made of high-strength carbon fiber and have aluminum hubs screwed to the composite structure. Both allow a weight saving of 3 lb compared to the forged aluminum wheels of the Streetfighter V4 S, which reaches 7.5 lb compared to the aluminum ones of the Streetfighter V4, leading to a significant reduction in the moment of inertia to the benefit of nimbleness and lightness in changes of direction.
• RIDER FOOT-PEGS IN ANODIZED ALUMINUM: The rider foot-pegs are made of high quality anodized aluminum alloy which maintains its original appearance over time. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing these foot-pegs allow the rider to find the position that best suits his or her build and riding style. They are equipped with carbon fiber heel guards and articulated brake and shift pedals to minimize the risk of breakage in the event of a slide and designed to quickly switch between traditional and reverse shifting configurations.
• SUSPENSIONS: Like the Streetfighter V4 S, the SP2 version is also equipped with an Öhlins NIX-30 fork, Öhlins TTX36 rear shock absorber and Öhlins steering damper controlled by the second generation Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 system with an event-based operating system. The Streetfighter V4 SP2, unlike the S version, has springs and suspension hydraulics identical to those of the Panigale V4, with the only difference being a fork spring preload reduced from 11 mm to 6 mm.

ELECTRONICS

• POWER MODE: For the High and Medium Power Modes, a new Ride by Wire map management system has been developed with dedicated calibration for each of the six gears, which ensures the rider always obtains the optimum thrust every time the throttle is opened. The calibrations dedicated to the Streetfighter V4 guarantee the maximum correlation between the torque value requested by the rider and torque delivered. The Low Power Mode, on the other hand, has been designed for riding on the road or for low-grip surfaces, limiting the maximum power of the bike to 165 hp and offering a particularly manageable throttle response.
• RIDING MODE WET: The Wet Riding Mode is designed for riding on low-grip surfaces, or precisely on wet roads. The RM limits maximum power to 165 hp with a particularly gentle throttle response (power mode Low) and, in the V4 S version, a softened suspension set-up to favor grip and safety. The default level of the electronic controls is set to offer maximum stability ensuring better grip and stability. Riders are given the opportunity to customize their riding styles and to subsequently restore the parameters set by Ducati, as well as enable level 1 of the ABS (recommended for track riding for more experienced riders) which only intervenes on the front wheel to offer maximum braking performance.
• DASHBOARD GRAPHIC: The graphics are revised in all views, to make the information simpler and more descriptive and help the enthusiast in the calibration of the various parameters.
• "TRACK EVO" VISUALIZATION: The dashboard offers the “Track Evo” display mode, which replicates the layout used on the MotoGP Desmosedici and guarantees an immediate view of the most important information and the intervention of the electronic controls.

ENGINE

• DESMOSEDICI STRADALE: The Streetfighter V4 is equipped with the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine. In this configuration the 90° V4 delivers 208 hp at 13,000 rpm, a high level of power for a naked, unrivalled in the segment.
• DRY CLUTCH: The 90° V4 of the Streetfighter V4 SP2 employs a 9-disc STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, made from billet aluminum. Compared to the oil bath clutch of the Streetfighter V4 S, in extreme use of the bike on the track, the dry clutch guarantees a more effective slipper function, even in the most aggressive downshifts. It even offers greater fluidity in all phases of “off-throttle”, as well as the possibility to customize the “mechanical” engine brake level, by choosing a different secondary spring from those available in the Ducati Performance catalogue.
• FORMULATION OF SHELL OIL: The decision to adopt a dry clutch allows the use of the new special engine oil on the Streetfighter V4 SP2, developed by Shell in collaboration with Ducati Corse*. The new performance oil guarantees a 10% reduction in mechanical friction and leads to an increase in maximum power of up to 3 hp. The formulation of this oil is based on the use of racing-type additives, specific for high-rpm engines equipped with a dry clutch. In fact, it is the dry clutch, as in MotoGP and SBK engines, which allows the use of additives, which would make the transmission of torque in the oil bath clutch problematic. These chemical elements are added to the base oil in dedicated quantities and percentages to ensure the right balance between performance and engine protection. **Timing and availability of the product may vary.

FEATURES

• LIVERY: The "total black" effect created by the matt black of the fairings and carbon rims contrasts with the brilliance of the brushed aluminum tank, while the bright red accents that mark the tail, tank and front fairing are a reference to the red color typical of Borgo Panigale sports bikes. The saddle is specific for the material used and is customized with the “V4 SP2” logo, while the carbon wings are embellished with the Italian flag and the progressive number of this numbered version is lasered on the handlebar.
• ENGINE: The 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale, capable of delivering 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 90.4 lb-ft at 9,500 rpm, has been revised in engine calibration to match the larger diameter of the silencer outlet, introduced in order to reduce the exhaust back pressure. In addition, on the right side there is the clutch cover of the Panigale V4, which allows you to easily mount the dry clutch and the clutch cover protection.
• CHASSIS: The Streetfighter V4 uses the "Front Frame" frame derived from the experience gained in MotoGP, which uses the Desmosedici Stradale engine. A contribution to performance between the curbs also comes from the Öhlins suspension with springs and hydraulics identical to those of the Panigale V4 which guarantee the rider the confidence for riding at the limit. The rims are Marchesini forged in aluminum alloy with important benefits in terms of nimbleness when changing direction and responsiveness in acceleration and braking thanks to the reduction of weight.
• PERFORMANCE: A bike ready to hit the track, thanks to exclusive technical equipment that combines the “Fight Formula” with the “SP” specifications, making it even more effective in sports riding. The Streetfighter V4 S features semi-active Öhlins suspension with SmartEC 2.0 interface, gaining in versatility, effectiveness and rapidity in set-up. On the Streetfighter V4 SP2 the Desmosedici Stradale is equipped with the STM-EVO SBK dry clutch, which guarantees a better slipper function, even in the most aggressive of climbs, and more fluidity in all “off-throttle” phases.
