Ducati Streetfighter V4 BS6 India Launch Soon

Ducati has unveiled the Euro 5 compliant (BS6 compliant) variant of the Streetfighter V4 range. The Italian brand normally showcases its new products at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the show has been cancelled.

Powering the bike is the same 1100 cc Desmosedici Stradale motor. Power output remains identical to the Euro 4 model. The V4 engine produces 208PS at 13,000rpm (250rpm higher than the Euro 4 variant) and 123Nm at 9,500rpm (2,000rpm lower than the Euro 4 variant).

Since peak torque is now made available at lower rpms, we expect the Euro 5 Ducati Streetfighter V4 to be more tractable at lower rpms and also a bit punchier. Ducati claims that these numbers were made possible by employing a new exhaust and some tweaks made to the motor.

Apart from a cleaner heart, Ducati has added new front brake and clutch pumps on the 2021 Streetfighter V4 range. These new units are self-bleeding and have been borrowed from the Ducati Panigale V4 superbike. The Streetfighter V4S will also be now available in a matte black shade called ‘Dark Stealth’.

Since India shifted to BS6 emission norms in April 2020, the Ducati Streetfighter V4 range wasn’t launched here. Sales of the Streetfighter V4 Euro models will commence in Europe in November, however, the India debut of the BS6 Ducati Streetfighter V4 looks likely in early 2021. The Ducati Streetfighter V4 BS6 will be among the most powerful naked bikes to go on sale in India and the price for its base variant is expected to be under Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom). Ducati’s next big launch is the Multistrada V4.
