At the heart of the 2020 Ducati Panigale V2 sport motorcycle, Ducati features a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 155 HP (113.1 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 162.3 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 measures 176 kg (388 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.88 HP/kg (1.14 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,436 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 304 km (189 miles) between fill-ups.
