Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP

A bold personality, explosive performance and racing identity define the character of the Streetfighter V4 SP, the sportiest Ducati naked. Developed around the base of the Streetfighter V4 S, it raises the concept of performance to a new level, making an immediate impression. The Winter Test livery accentuates its racing attitude, with carbon fibre wings and wheels that contrast with the brushed aluminium finish of the tank. With 214 hp and a weight of 188 kg, this numbered edition delivers an adrenaline-fueled riding experience.

Style that leaves a mark.
Essential, sporty and with unmistakable character, every line and detail of the Streetfighter V4 SP expresses the range’s boldest spirit. The Winter Test livery accentuates its identity, combining distinctive all black with a contrasting brushed aluminium tank and carbon fibre components, including the wings and front mudguard. Brake callipers in Ducati red, a two-tone seat and a black frame round out the impactful design, which grabs attention at first sight.

All-Black Winter Test livery
Streetfighter V4 SP flaunts a minimalist livery known as “Winter Test”, inspired by the Ducati Corse bikes use during the MotoGP and SBK Championships pre-season tests. The all-black effect created by the matte black of the fairings and the carbon wheels contrasts with the shine of the brushed aluminium tank, while the bright red details and seat recall the red of Borgo Panigale sports bikes.

Headlight
The Streetfighter V4 SP headlight is full LED. With the iconic DRL inspired by the 2025 Panigale, it gives the front end a sharp, assertive look. A gaze that conveys pure aggression, combined with sophistication, modernity and technology.

Carbon fibre wings and front mudguard
The Streetfighter V4 SP winglets are in carbon fibre, with a double profile on the upper elements and a single profile on the lower ones. The mudguard is also in carbon fibre, a solution that helps reduce the bike’s overall weight and heighten its racing identity.

Exclusivity takes shape.
Streetfighter V4 SP expresses its exclusive character with a bold visual identity, predominantly black and enhanced with details in Ducati red. Its uniqueness is highlighted with the progressive number engraved on the handlebar, a distinctive trait of all SP models.

The essence of Ducati power.
The beating heart of the Streetfighter V4 SP is the 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, capable of unleashing 214 hp and reaching 14,000 rpm. Performance that represents the ultimate expression of Ducati’s philosophy in the high-performance naked segment, for an intense, high-octane riding experience with every twist of the throttle.

1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale V4
The Streetfighter V4 SP is powered by the Euro 5-homologated 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale: a 90° V4 with MotoGP-derived desmodromic timing, unique in its class thanks to its counter-rotating crankshaft and ‘Twin Pulse’ firing order.

90° V4: the ultimate race engine
For Ducati, the 90° V4 is the ultimate expression of sports attitude for a motorcycle engine. It is no coincidence that MotoGP Desmosedici engines adopt the same solution.

The 90° V layout of the cylinders allows for a natural balancing of first order forces, with no need for a countershaft – with an increase in weight and power absorption - to eliminate vibration. A very important benefit in terms of the reliability and mechanical efficiency of an engine that reaches engine speeds in excess of 14,000 rpm.

Euro 5+ approved
Despite conforming with the strict Euro 5+ standard, the Desmosedici Stradale engine boasts a significant maximum power increase equating to 6 hp. This is thanks to the Variable Intake System (VIS) and camshafts with higher lift. The use of lighter components has reduced the engine weight by 1 kg.
The Euro 5+ Desmosedici Stradale delivers maximum power of 214 hp at 13,500 rpm and torque of 120 Nm at 11,250 rpm.

To maintain the unique style imprint of under-engine silencers, the exhaust system, in a 4-2-1-2 configuration, has been redesigned in terms of both its manifolds and silencer.
Engine development work has also served to reduce the level of emissions (CO2 165 g/km) and consumption (7.1l/100km).

Latest-generation Desmodromic system
The Desmosedici Stradale is designed around the Desmodromic system, essential in terms of performance. The four camshafts move sixteen steel valves - with intake valves measuring 34 mm in diameter and the exhaust valves measuring 27.5 mm, impressive values if related to the 81 mm bore. The valve seats are made of sintered steel. Considering the high engine speeds of the V4 and the significant size of the valves, these would not be able to follow the aggressive cam closing profiles if a spring system were used. This is why the Desmodromic system is indispensable.

Counter-rotating crankshaft
As on the MotoGP prototypes, the crankshaft is counter rotating, which means it rotates in the opposite direction to the wheels, to counteract the gyroscopic effect and ensure handling and agility in the changes of direction, as well as reducing the tendency to wheelie during acceleration and braking.

Twin Pulse firing order
Crank pins offset by 70° combined with the 90° V layout of the engine result in a firing order that Ducati calls “Twin Pulse”, because it is as if the engine were reproducing the firing sequence of a twin. The distinctiveness lies in the fact that the two left-hand cylinders fire closely together, as do the two right-hand ones. On the timing chart, the ignition points are at 0°, 90°, 290° and 380°. This particular firing order makes the V4 sound very similar to the MotoGP Desmosedici.

Camshafts
As for maximum power, the new camshafts have increased lift (+ 0.75 mm for the intake cam and + 0.45 mm for the exhaust cam) and are also lighter thanks to larger lightening holes and narrower toothed drive wheels. The lengths of the variable-height intake ducts have been modified to match intake to the new lifts; the long-duct configuration is increased by 5 mm, while the short-duct configuration is reduced by 10 mm.

More efficient cooling system
The cooling system has been redesigned to guarantee consistent performance even in very high temperatures or during extreme use on track. The effective cooling area of the water radiator has been increased by 17%, while the oil radiator benefits from a more efficient, race-derived water circulation layout that is dual flow.

STM EVO-SBK dry clutch
The bike’s 90° V4 uses a 9-disc STM EVO-SBK dry clutch in billet aluminium. With respect to the wet clutch of the Streetfighter V4 S, the dry clutch guarantees a more efficient anti-hop function during extreme track use, even with the most aggressive downshifts, while ensuring smoother operation throughout all off-throttle phases. The clutch also allows riders to tailor the level of mechanical engine braking by choosing from the different secondary springs available in the Ducati Performance catalogue.

The dry clutch also allows for the use of Ducati Corse Performance Oil, which can increase power by 3.5 hp. The final drive features a DID ERV7 racing chain, for a 0.14 kg weight saving with respect to the chain on the V4 S.

Lastly, the open clutch cover in carbon fibre - not homologated for road use and included in the equipment – ensures the classic metallic sound that Ducatisti love so much.

Lightweight DID ERV7 racing chain
The engine drives the rear wheel via a DID ERV7 chain, paired with a dedicated front sprocket and rear sprocket. This is the top-of-the-range racing chain, used by factory teams around the world and 0.140 kg lighter than the chain on the V4 S.

Racing DNA, to experience and admire in full detail.
The Streetfighter V4 SP brings race-bred equipment to the road, enhancing riding dynamics while making the bike even more exclusive and desirable. Technical components designed for the track heighten the riding precision and pleasure, becoming distinctive elements to be admired down to the finest detail.

Ducati Hollow Symmetrycal Swingarm
The new Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm perfectly blends form and function. A complex, sophisticated and elegant structure, it stands out among sports bikes for being coupled with an exhaust positioned under the engine. The swingarm has lateral arms with a significantly lighter design and large slots on the sides, which optimise the external structure to satisfy pre-determined weight and stiffness requirements. To maximise efficiency, the internal structure has also been hollowed out and lightened, creating a complex system of cavities and openings, some of which are closed off to the outside with aesthetic elements in plastic material.

Front Frame
The Streetfighter V4 SP mounts a “Front Frame” that has evolved thanks to Ducati Corse experience in MotoGP. Lateral stiffness is reduced by 40% for a 17% weight saving, while the component’s longitudinal stiffness remains unchanged. Greater flexibility improves front end feeling when cornering, by better exploiting the tyres. The rider can enter more easily, naturally hold the line, and turn faster.

Carbon fibre wheels for reduced weight
Streetfighter V4 SP mounts five-spoke wheels in carbon fibre for an overall weight saving of 0.95 kg with respect to forged wheels, of which 0.25 kg at the front and 0.70 kg at the rear. The reduction in rotating masses translates into a moment of inertia that is 12% lower at the front and 19% lower at the rear, reducing the effort a rider makes in changing direction and tightening the line. These features enhance the inherent handling precision provided by the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm, making the bike even more agile and precise. The wheels are also compatible with the two-up configuration.

MSC Brembo MSC radial master cylinder
The Brembo MCS (Multiple Click System) radial master cylinder allows the rider to adjust both mechanical travel and the lever ratio, tailoring braking feel to their riding style. The 330 mm front discs are cooled by carbon-fibre air ducts, which are not homologated for road use and enhance braking efficiency and consistency. Rounding out the system are Brembo Hypure callipers in Ducati Red, a distinctive detail that strengthens the bike’s sports attitude also from an aesthetic standpoint.

Adjustable billet aluminium footpegs
The adjustable footpegs on the Streetfighter V4 SP are created in billet aluminium and offer three different positions to optimise the height from the ground and adapt the configuration according to rider preference. They also allow the gearshift pattern to be reversed and come complete with carbon fibre heel guards.

Front brake air vents
The dedicated front brake air vents, not homologated for road use and created in carbon fibre, help cool the front callipers and discs. This additional equipment is designed to boost the efficiency of the braking system.

Seat-tank assembly
The seat-tank assembly on the Streetfighter V4 SP ensures greater longitudinal freedom of movement and makes for a more natural aerodynamic position, thanks to a hollow in the upper section. At the same time, the rear part of the tank, combined with the lateral covers and seat shape, better supports the rider during braking, entry and cornering.

Limitless excitement for total control.
The electronics aboard the new Streetfighter V4 SP heighten the riding experience and allow the rider to exploit the bike’s full potential. Sophisticated, intuitive and designed to ensure total control, the solutions support every riding phase, for a bike that is more efficient and precise on track. A bike designed for riders who seek ultimate performance and control.

6.9” TFT
The new Streetfighter V4 SP flaunts a dashboard complete with a 6.9” colour screen, 8:3 aspect ratio, and 1280 x 480 resolution, which sets new standards in terms of its readability, ease of use, and the amount of data it provides. Thanks to the use of Optical Bonding technology, with graphics on a black background and glass protection, the aesthetic is impeccable and offers excellent visibility also during the day. The dash is controlled by an HMI that users two rocker controllers positioned on the left handlebar block. The visualization options, known as Info Modes, are Road and Track. The first is very clean with a circular rev counter in the centre of the screen, while the second features a rev counter bar that stretches across almost the entire width of the screen, along with data needed to monitor the bike settings and lap performance. The rider can swiftly select one of the four Riding Modes, modify the electronic controls and choose between one of the four available Power Modes depending on riding style and bike usage.

Ducati Vehicle Observer
The electronic controls evolve with the use of the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO), developed by Ducati Corse. This algorithm can simulate the input of seventy sensors and measure seventy physical quantities for a precise estimate of the levels of intervention of the traction and wheelie control systems. These systems work in an almost predictive fashion while also heightening riding safety and confidence on track.

Ducati Quick Shift 2.0
The Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 allows the rider to shift up and down without using the clutch, swapping the traditional lever with microswitch for a direct mechanical lever.

The electronic strategy is entrusted to the positioning sensor on the gear drum that identifies the gear shift, offering the rider more direct feeling that is easier to repeat, less “spongy” and with reduced travel.

Race eCBS: a new concept of ABS
The Streetfighter V4 SP has a braking system managed by Race e-CBS, a combined braking system with Cornering function developed by Bosch in collaboration with Ducati. The system autonomously applies braking pressure to the rear, based on predefined strategies, when the rider activates the front brake.

The system ensures safer and more stable braking on the road and heightens performance on track, even for amateur riders who don’t usually use the rear brake. On the road, Race eCBS increases stability and reduces braking distances by limiting front load transfer and increasing average deceleration.

Latest-generation electronic controls
Streetfighter V4 SP flaunts an advanced electronics package based on the six-axis IMU that evolves thanks to the use of a revolutionary algorithm developed by Ducati Corse, known as Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO).

Thanks to the DVO, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) heightens control of rear wheel slip, working more precisely and continuously during the manoeuvre to limit any loss of grip and subsequent recovery.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) also benefits from the introduction of the DVO, allowing for more accurate identification of wheelies and more precise intervention that is almost predictive.

Ducati Slide Control (DSC) supports the rider, controlling the amount of torque delivered depending on the slide angle. It operates thanks to the IMU and improves corner exit performance by preventing slide angles that would otherwise be difficult to manage.

Ducati Power Launch (DPL) can guarantee lightning starts, allowing the rider to focus solely on releasing the clutch. DPL also benefits from the introduction of DVO, helping to increase repeatability and boost rider confidence in the system.

The Engine Brake Control (EBC) helps riders to optimise bike stability in extreme conditions of corner entry, balancing the forces to which the rear tyre is subjected with aggressive application of the engine brake.

Ducati Electronic Suspension 3.0 event-based software
The Streetfighter V4 SP is equipped with Öhlins suspension and steering damper, controlled by the third-generation SmartEC 3.0 system with new OBTi user interface.

The suspension heightens riding comfort on the road and guarantees precision and performance on the track. The user interface allows more precise adjustment of the suspension’s hydraulic response during the different riding phases. When travelling at constant speed, the system reduces hydraulic braking to heighten comfort during road use.

The new Suspension Modes offer four preset configurations for the reference parameters governing hydraulic damping - two for the track and two for the road - that can be customised by the rider.

Power Mode logic
The Streetfighter V4 SP offers four engine configurations: Full, High, Medium and Low.
Full Power Mode is the most extreme. Not associated with any Riding Mode, it allows the engine to express its full potential, with torque curves free from electronic filters in all gears except first.
Associated with the Race Riding Mode, High Power Mode satisfies the needs of amateur and professional riders on track.

Medium Power Mode is associated with the Sport and Road Riding Modes. Both can deliver full power and use a matrix-tyre torque management that allows the ECU to optimise the curves required for each gear, improving continuity and reducing compromise.

Low Power Mode, on the other hand, is designed for low-grip surfaces and wet conditions. Associated with the Wet Riding Mode, it limits maximum power to 160 hp for a very manageable throttle response.

Advanced Riding Modes
The Streetfighter V4 is as insolent in looks as it is easy to ride. This, thanks to Riding Modes that make it the perfect bike for leisurely local jaunts and the ideal naked with which to launch a time attack at any track.

“Race” Riding Mode – The Race Riding Mode offers the rider the full power of the engine (214 hp) with direct Ride by Wire response when opening the throttle (High Power Mode) and a very firm suspension setup (Active Track) for optimum performance. Race A mode provides a default low-intrusive electronics setting, designed for track riding, with Race eCBS at level 1.

“Sport” Riding Mode - The Sport Riding Mode is associated by default with the Medium Power Mode (maximum power of 214 hp and a more progressive Ride By Wire response) and a sports suspension setup (Active Dynamic). The electronic controls are set in such a way as to support the rider during sports riding on the road.

“Road” Riding Mode - The Road Riding Mode is recommended for road riding, especially on less-than-optimal surfaces. This mode provides the rider with 214 hp of power with a progressive response when opening the throttle (Medium Power Mode) and an Active Comfort suspension setup, particularly suited to absorbing the bumps.

“Wet” Riding Mode – The Wet Riding Mode is designed for riding on low-grip surfaces, or on wet surfaces. The RM limits maximum power to 160 hp with a particularly gentle throttle response (Low Power Mode) and a softened suspension setup (Active Low Grip) to favour grip and safety.
