The 2022 Ducati Streetfighter V4 is the epitome of raw power and cutting-edge technology, delivering an exhilarating riding experience that bridges the gap between MotoGP-inspired performance and everyday usability. Drawing inspiration from Ducati’s Panigale V4, the Streetfighter V4 strips away the fairings to expose its aggressive stance and potent capabilities.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the Streetfighter V4 lies the Desmosedici Stradale engine—a 1,103 cc, 90° V4 powerhouse producing 208 horsepower at 12,750 rpm and 123 Nm of torque at 11,500 rpm. Featuring a rearward-rotating crankshaft that enhances handling dynamics, this engine delivers explosive acceleration with smooth, precise throttle control. The 6-speed gearbox, equipped with Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down EVO 2, ensures lightning-fast, clutchless gear changes for seamless performance whether ripping through city streets or carving up the track.
This race-derived engine combines cutting-edge engineering with street-ready tuning, offering an unmatched blend of ferocity and rideability. The throttle-by-wire system allows for nuanced power delivery across multiple riding modes, giving the rider full control over the bike’s fierce output.
Chassis & Handling
The Streetfighter V4’s frame is built around Ducati’s innovative “Front Frame” aluminum chassis, which provides exceptional rigidity while maintaining an impressively light weight. This contributes to nimble handling and sharp cornering precision. The fully adjustable Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) up front and Sachs rear shock absorber, paired with a sculpted aluminum single-sided swingarm, soak up bumps and road imperfections without sacrificing sharpness or stability.
With 120 mm of travel at the front and 130 mm at the rear, the suspension is tuned to strike the perfect balance between sportiness and comfort. Rolling on Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II tires — sized 120/70 ZR17 front and 200/60 ZR17 rear — the bike delivers incredible grip and confidence in all conditions, whether on aggressive twisty roads or smooth highways.
Braking System
Braking performance on the Streetfighter V4 is nothing short of exceptional. The bike features dual 330 mm semi-floating discs at the front, clamped by Brembo Monobloc Stylema® M4.30 4-piston calipers that provide powerful, consistent stopping force with superb feedback. The rear features a 245 mm disc with a 2-piston caliper. Bosch Cornering ABS EVO works seamlessly with the braking components, enabling safe, effective braking even when leaned over in tight corners.
Electronics & Rider Aids
Ducati has packed the Streetfighter V4 with a comprehensive electronics suite designed to maximize performance, safety, and rider confidence. The bike features Ducati Traction Control EVO 2, Ducati Wheelie Control EVO, Ducati Slide Control (DSC), and Ducati Power Launch (DPL) for dynamic starts. Additionally, the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down EVO 2 offers smooth clutchless gear changes.
Multiple riding modes allow riders to tailor the bike’s behavior to their needs — from aggressive track-ready settings to more relaxed urban riding modes. A vivid 5-inch full-TFT display provides all essential info in a clear, customizable format, allowing riders to keep their focus on the road ahead.
Design & Ergonomics
With a bold, muscular silhouette, the Streetfighter V4 is a striking presence on any street or track. Its minimalist bodywork exposes the mechanical artistry beneath, while sharp LED headlights and signature Ducati Red paint complete the aggressive look. The bike’s ergonomics are designed for both performance and comfort: a sporty riding position that encourages control and precision without compromising on long-ride comfort.
Fuel Capacity & Practicality
The Streetfighter V4 features a 16-liter fuel tank, balancing sufficient range for spirited rides without adding unnecessary bulk. Its manageable seat height of 845 mm and well-balanced weight of 201 kg (wet) make it accessible to a wide range of riders while maintaining that focused, aggressive riding feel.
