By Justin Dawes Verified| Cycle World Magazine Verified Ducati chucked its 955cc Superquadro desmo engine in the bin for all of its V2 models—the Panigale V2, the Multistrada V2, and now the Streetfighter V2—replacing it with a new 890cc 90-degree V-2 with spring valve actuation that makes less peak horsepower. Thirty-three less horsepower. What kind of un-Ducati-like strategy is this: less cubes and less power? Well, on the 2025 Streetfighter V2 S, there’s also less weight—40 pounds, Ducati claims.
