2021 Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Ducati's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2021 Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss relies on a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 152.9 HP (111.6 kW) at 10,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 104 Nm (76.7 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 160.1 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (10,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the Panigale V2 Bayliss measures 197 kg (434 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.78 HP/kg (1.29 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,438 mm (56.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 283 km (176 miles) between fill-ups.

Within MotoLibrary's Ducati archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2021 to 2025, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
