Ducati India has expanded its range with the Panigale V2 supersport motorcycle now available in a sleek black colour.
The Panigale V2 was previously only available in red. The new black option adds a touch of sophistication.
The Ducati Panigale V2 Black is priced at ₹20.98 lakh, a slight increase of ₹30,000 from the red variant.
Bookings for the new black shade began earlier this year, with deliveries expected to start soon.
The Panigale V2 Black features a glossy black paint scheme, highlighted by contrasting red stickering.
The bike’s alloy wheels are black with a red rim stripe, creating a minimal yet striking visual effect.
The bike is powered by a 955 cc, liquid-cooled, L-twin engine, delivering 155 bhp and 104 Nm of peak torque.
The bike’s aluminium monocoque frame is complemented by fully adjustable Showa USD front forks and a Sachs monoshock at the rear.
Braking is managed by two 320-mm discs with Brembo Monoblock M 4.32 callipers at the front and a 245-mm single disc at the rear.
The Panigale V2 is equipped with multiple electronic aids, including various riding modes, power modes, cornering ABS, and traction control.
The Panigale V2’s price is comparable to the litre-class BMW S 1000 RR, but it’s more expensive than the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.
