Ducati Streetfighter V4 Features:

The Ducati Streetfighter V4 comes with an all-LED lighting system and a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with optional smartphone connectivity called the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS). The engine is reined in by a bevy of electronic aids such as Race, Sport and Street riding modes, three levels of cornering ABS, an eight-level cornering traction control system, a two-level Ducati Slide Control, wheelie control system, engine brake control, and a three-level launch control system. And to keep the rubber side down at high speeds, the motorcycle also features ‘biplane’ aerodynamic winglets that can generate a downforce of 28kg at 270kmph.   

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Engine: 

Ducati has equipped the Streetfighter V4 with a Euro5/ BS6-compliant 1103cc liquid-cooled V4 engine, churning out a massive 208PS at 12,750rpm and 123Nm at 9,500rpm. The engine is linked to a hydraulically actuated 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch. Ducati offers a bidirectional quickshifter as standard. The peak power can be further increased to 223PS and torque to 130Nm using an optional Ducati performance exhaust (track only) that is lighter than the stock unit by 6kg. 

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Suspension & Brakes: 

The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is built on an aluminium alloy front frame with the engine as the stressed member, linked to a trellis subframe and a single-sided cast aluminium swingarm. The bike is suspended on a fully adjustable 43mm Showa Big Piston Front fork with a Sachs steering damper and a fully adjustable Sachs rear linked monoshock. The Streetfighter V4 S variant comes with much more sophisticated 43mm Ohlins NIX 30 front and Ohlins TTX36 rear unit, and an Ohlins steering damper -- all electronically actuated. 

For braking, it employs dual 330mm front discs with top-of-the-line Brembo Stylema radial calipers and a 245mm rear disc with a two-piston caliper. While the standard variant gets cast aluminium wheels, the S variant rolls on lighter Marchesini forged aluminium units. With all these features, the S variant tips the scale at 199kg kerb whereas the regular model weighs 201kg kerb.
