2025 Ducati Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition signals one other end

Meet the motorcycle many consider the tip of Ducati’s L-cylinder middleweight sport bikes: The 2025 Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition. The Italian two-wheeler concern has been revamping its engine catalog, starting by introducing its first-ever mass-produced four-cylinder within the 2019 Panigale V4. Then got here a non-desmodromic version of Ducati’s V4 in 2020, this one called the Granturismo. Eliminating the complicated twin rocker and spring setup for a more traditional cam-rocker-spring setup extends the factory service interval from 15,000 miles to 37,000 miles. Last yr Ducati launched its recent Superquadro Mono single-cylinder engine within the Hypermotard, sold alongside a bigger Hypermotard with an L-Twin. With the 2025 Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition, the idea is that Ducati will retire the L-twin from use in sport bikes and maybe introduce a smaller V4 or perhaps even a parallel-twin. Why? Because this looks like the playbook Ducati used when retiring the V-twin within the Panigale 1199, making a limited-edition Final Edition bike for 2017 before launching the Panigale V4 a yr later.

For the sendoff, there are special features from front to back. The front and rear fenders, shock and swingarm protectors, chain guard, clutch cover, and silencer end are constructed from carbon fiber. Ohlins’ familiar gold finish appears on the front fork and rear damper. Adjustable billet aluminum footpegs come from Rizoma. There’s more billet aluminum for the triple clamp, the four-gallon tank and gas tank cap, and for owners that only plan on using the bike at a track, Ducati’s offering a billet mirror delete kit and a license plate holder removal kit. The 955-cc twin-cylinder makes the identical 155 horsepower and 76.7 pound-feet of torque as in the usual Panigale V2, however the aluminum, carbon, and lithium-ion battery help shave six kilos, getting the Final Edition to 419 lbs. 

Ducati Centro Stile worked with Drudi Performance on a special livery, combining the red, white, and black traditional to the brand with a monochome motif on the fairing that bears a schematic of the engine exactly because it sits behind the quilt. Each unit comes with a special cover to guard that finish, plus a certificate of authenticity.  

Ducati’s making 555 of those, the serialized number etched into the triple clamp. Deliveries for U.S. allocation begin in December, pricing starts at $28,000, about $9,500 above the usual Panigale V2.

The L-twin still rocks hard within the Ducati Supersport. Within the Panigale pen, Motorcycle.com found info on next yr’s Panigale V4 filed with Swiss authorities, previewing a rather more power and fewer torque, an extended wheelbase, and a touch less weight.
