Baby Panigale Has A Launch Date

Ducati has confirmed that its upcoming sports bike, the Panigale V2, will debut in India on August 26. It will be the first BS6-compliant motorcycle from the Italian bikemaker for India. Ducati hasn’t shared pricing details for its entry-level sports bike, but we expect it to retail for around Rs 15.50 lakh to Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom). The Panigale V2 will be the replacement for the Ducati which was discontinued as it didn’t meet the new emission norms. Read more about the bike here: Baby Panigale Incoming

The first thing that you will notice about the V2 is its all-new styling which has been inspired by the Ducati Panigale V4. The edgy split LED headlights with the slim DRLs that looks like an eyebrow gives it a menacing face. Designers have managed to make the tail section even sharper and thankfully, the side-mounted ugly exhaust pipes have been replaced with a stubbier underbelly unit. Another thoughtful addition is a colour TFT instrument cluster as the older LCD unit looked quite dated. We have already ridden the bike and you can read the Ducati Panigale V2 review.
