Most notably, carbon fiber has been used for the wheels, helping drop unsprung weight considerably and giving the bike added agility in direction changes . There’s also an STM Racing dry clutch, remote front-brake adjuster—just like the WorldSBK machines—and a 520 racing-chain conversion.Photo by Giovanni De Sandre, courtesy of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.
Being an SP model, there’s no accommodation for a passenger, so the single seat should help give an indication of the machine’s natural habitat. Interestingly, Ducati has still chosen to fit the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 event-based electronic suspension to the SP2, as opposed to gracing it with the traditional manual suspension found on the race-ready V4 R. But the Öhlins electronic system operates a top-spec NPX25/30 pressurized fork and TTX36 shock, so the hardware is never in doubt.
The arrival of the V4 SP2 makes the Panigale family now six bikes strong, a line that also comprises the Panigale V2, V2 Bayliss, V4, V4 S, V4 R. Throw in the chart-toppingand that makes for the largest offering of superbikes available from any manufacturer today. If you’d like a V4 SP2 in your garage, pre-orders will start to be accepted in the third quarter of 2022, with the bikes coming stateside by the end of the year.
