2027 Ducati Panigale V2SP: NEW GENERATION DEBUT.
Introducing the new 2027 Ducati Panigale V2SP…
The evolution of performance
With Panigale V2 SP, the SP initials return to their original meaning. Based on the Panigale V2 S, the V2 SP is created as a homologated version by Ducati Corse to compete in the WorldSSP Championship. A longer swingarm, dry clutch, and forged wheels, together with Öhlins suspension and the Winter Test livery, create a distinctly race-inspired look.
Born for world-level racing
Ready to line up in the 2027 FIM Supersport World Championship, the Panigale V2 SP is the purest expression of the link between production and competition. A production bike born to homologate technical solutions developed for the Ducati V2 range.
Ducati presents the new Panigale V2 SP, the model in the Panigale V2 range developed and homologated to compete in the FIM Supersport World Championship from the 2027 season onwards.
Based on the Panigale V2 S, this new model draws on the experience gained during a full season of track development in the Lenovo V2 Future Champs Academy, the championship in which the Panigale V2 stood out for its benchmark lap times, made all the more significant by the fact that they were achieved by young, up-and-coming riders.
With this model, the ‘SP’ designation – first introduced with the Ducati 851 SP – regains its original meaning: a production motorbike designed to incorporate technical solutions developed for racing. Today, as then, the ‘SP’ represents the direct link between racing and Ducati’s customer range.
The Panigale V2 SP features Öhlins suspension and a range of components selected to ensure optimum performance in conjunction with the Racing Kit developed by Ducati Corse, which will be available to teams competing in the World Supersport Championship.
Among the most significant technical changes is the new swingarm, which is longer (+30 mm) than that of the Panigale V2 S. This design helps to shift the load towards the front end, improving stability and handling precision whilst reducing the tendency to wheelie during acceleration.
The forged wheels replace the cast ones on the S version; they are 1.5 kg lighter overall and enhance the bike’s agility thanks to a reduction in the moment of inertia (-27% at the front, -21% at the rear), whilst also improving acceleration performance. The white finish limits heat absorption in the front-end area, helping to maintain more consistent tyre performance during track use.
The Panigale V2 SP is also fitted with a dry clutch, a solution that improves the operation of the anti-hopping system, makes clutch release smoother and allows for more precise engine braking. The configuration also includes the use of Ducati Corse Performance oil, developed for racing use, which offers a power gain of up to 1.2 CV.
The engine is a 90° Ducati V2 with variable valve timing for the intake valves, Euro 5+ approved, with a displacement of 890 cm³ and 120 CV. Weighing just 54.4 kg (9.5 kg lighter than the Superquadro it replaces), it is the lightest twin-cylinder engine ever produced by Ducati, and its torque curve – with 70 per cent of the maximum torque already available at 3,000 rpm – ensures that riding is always exhilarating. And for those who wish to use the Panigale V2 SP in its natural environment – between the kerbs of a circuit – a racing exhaust can be fitted, which increases maximum power by 6 CV whilst reducing weight by 4.5 kg*.
The V2 SP’s chassis is a lightweight and efficient monocoque, which utilises the engine as a load-bearing element. The double-sided swingarm draws its design inspiration from the Panigale V4’s Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm and offers the same benefits in terms of stability when exiting corners and track-riding feel, where it allows the rider to get the most out of modern slick tyres. The Brembo front braking system comprises two 320 mm discs and M50 monobloc calipers to deliver power and modulation.
The Panigale V2 SP is equipped with a six-axis IMU, supporting a comprehensive and effective suite of electronics that includes Sport Cornering ABS with slide-by-brake functionality, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Control and Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 – the same system used on the Panigale V4.
With the arrival of the new SP, the 2027 Panigale V2 range will consist of the Panigale V2, the Panigale V2 S in Ducati Red and Ducati Yellow, the Panigale V2 SP and the Panigale V2 MM93.

Just 120 lbs. The lightest Ducati V2 ever
The Panigale V2 SP mounts the 120 hp 90° V2 twin-cylinder engine. It is up to 19.8 lbs lighter than the previous Superquadro and approximately 12.8 lbs lighter than the Testastretta Evoluzione and the Desmodue that equip the Scrambler®.
The project is built around sophisticated engineering solutions, like the aluminum cylinder liners and pump positioned in the crankcase. The engine also introduces the Intake Variable Timing (IVT) system to enhance power delivery, offering the rider a linear response at low revs, robust mid-range torque, and top-end performance.
Iconic 90° configuration
The 90° architecture of the new V2 engine continues the Ducati tradition of sporty power units. Narrow and distinctive in both sound and power delivery, the V-cylinder configuration also provides inherent first-order force balance, eliminating the need for a balancer shaft to reduce vibrations.
Power-to-weight ratio: 120 hp and 388 lbs
The Panigale V2 SP combines a weight of just 388 lbs with power of 120 hp, which grows by 6 hp to reach 126 hp with the racing exhaust. An exciting weight-to-power ratio, making every acceleration more intense and immediate, for standout performance on track.
Note: The actual power output and overall torque may vary depending on manufacturing tolerances, ambient conditions, fuel quality, the state of maintenance, running-in conditions and the measurement method used. Consequently, results obtained using different testing equipment, including chassis dynamometers (rolling-road dynamometers), may not be directly comparable with the data presented here.
Smoother at low rpm thanks to Intake Variable Timing
Thanks to the Intake Variable Timing (IVT) system, the Ducati twin engine delivers very linear torque from low revs, with consistently sharp throttle response and the performance of a sporty engine at high revs. The IVT system progressively varies the intake valve timing across a 52° range, using a phase variator fitted to the end of the camshaft.
STM EVO-SBK dry clutch
The Panigale V2 SP mounts the STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, a solution that optimizes anti-hop system function, making throttle-off transitions smoother and allowing more precise engine-braking adjustment. With the use of Ducati Corse Performance Oil, developed for track use, it’s possible to gain another 1.2 hp. A dry clutch cover in carbon fiber is also available as supporting content, for track use only.
Note: The actual power output and overall torque may vary depending on manufacturing tolerances, ambient conditions, fuel quality, the state of maintenance, running-in conditions and the measurement method used. Consequently, results obtained using different testing equipment, including chassis dynamometers (rolling-road dynamometers), may not be directly comparable with the data presented here.
Racing exhaust
For riders who want to use the Panigale V2 SP in its natural setting on track, the racing exhaust can be mounted, which increases maximum power to 126 hp, for a 6 hp boost with respect to the standard power and a weight reduction of 9.9 lbs.
Note: The actual power output and overall torque may vary depending on manufacturing tolerances, ambient conditions, fuel quality, the state of maintenance, running-in conditions and the measurement method used. Consequently, results obtained using different testing equipment, including chassis dynamometers (rolling-road dynamometers), may not be directly comparable with the data presented here.
Built for the track
Select components and an advanced chassis enhance the behavior of the Panigale V2 SP on track, developed to raise riding precision and efficiency to new levels. The monocoque frame, fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, longer swingarm and lighter forged aluminum wheels help make the bike more efficient and offer the rider greater control on track.
Monocoque frame
The chassis of the new Panigale V2 SP retains its monocoque structure, which serves as both frame and airbox and exploits the V2 engine as a structural element. A compact, lightweight solution that sees the Panigale V2 SP achieve a curb weight (without fuel) of 388 lb.
Benchmark suspension for the category
Suspension on the Panigale V2 SP is fully adjustable, allowing the rider to customize the setting of the new Ducati sports bike. The package includes an Öhlins NIX-30 fork with 43 mm stanchions and an Öhlins shock absorber, premium components for the category.
Longer double-sided swingarm
Among the most significant technical updates is the new swingarm, 30 mm longer than that of the Panigale V2 S. By increasing the wheelbase, this solution helps shift load to the front end, improving riding stability and precision and reducing the tendency to wheelie under acceleration.
The double-sided swingarm takes up the Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm design of the Panigale V4 and offers the same benefits in terms of corner exit stability and riding feeling on track.
Superbike-type brakes
The new Panigale V2 SP is equipped with a Brembo system developed to offer significant power on track and excellent modulation in everyday use on the road.
At the front, the M50 monobloc calipers with four 30 mm pistons act on 320 mm discs while the master cylinder is radial or PR16/21. At the rear, the Panigale V2 SP mounts a single 245 disc.
Tank moulded for the track
The Panigale V2 SP tank has a similar ergonomic shape to that of the Panigale V4, designed to offer the rider greater support when braking or hanging off mid turn. The contact surfaces, with no metallic parts, provide better grip for the knees, helping to reduce load on the arms during braking and limit the physical effort required to maintain a hanging off position through the turn.
Wheels and tires
The Panigale V2 SP mounts tangential five-spoke forged aluminum wheels that are 3.3 lbs lighter than those of the V2 S. The reduced weight increases the bike’s agility thanks to a reduction in the moment of inertia (-27% at the front, -21% at the back), also improving performance under acceleration.
The wheels flaunt a white finish, to match elements of the livery, a choice that is not simply aesthetic but also functional. The white color reflects the heat more efficiently, limiting absorption in the front-end area during track use to reduce thermal stress and keep tire performance more consistent.
Dedicated electronics for maximum efficiency
Dedicated electronics, conceived to support the rider during every riding phase, from road to track. The Panigale V2 SP shares an electronics package with the Panigale V2 S that is designed to maximize performance in total safety and ensure complete control in every situation.
Riding Modes and Power Modes
The Riding Modes on the Panigale V2 SP allow the rider to choose between four base configurations (Race, Sport, Road and Wet), to adapt the bike to the riding conditions.
Each Riding Mode has preset levels of performance and electronic control intervention, which can be customized by the rider. Three different engine responses can also be selected and modified (High, Medium and Low Power Mode, with power limited to 95 hp), as can the ABS, Wheelie Control, Traction Control and Engine Brake intervention levels.
With the dashboard set to Track Info Mode, control levels can also be modified in real time, while riding.
Bosch Cornering ABS
The Panigale V2 SP is equipped with Cornering ABS, a function that also extends ABS intervention to cornering. The system can be set according to three levels, designed to adapt to different riding needs, from road to track, as well as conditions of low grip.
Level 3 is suited to road use and situations of low grip, while levels 2 and 1 are more oriented towards sports riding and track use.
Level 2, recommended for amateur riders on track, acts on both the front and rear braking system and keeps the Cornering function active, without lift-up control, for sports-style braking. Level 1 is recommended for expert users on track and ensures racing intervention of the ABS system that acts only on the front wheel.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
Panigale V2 SP is equipped with the latest version of Ducati Wheelie Control, which exploits data from the 6-axis IMU to manage the wheelie in acceleration. The system helps the rider to control and wheelie and allows them to achieve maximum acceleration easily and safely.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
Ducati Traction Control interfaces with the 6-axis IMU to adapt intervention and slip to the bike’s lean angle. The system can be adjusted according to 8 levels – six of which for dry conditions and two for wet – allowing the rider to adapt the control strategy to suit their riding style and the grip conditions, for maximum performance.
Engine Brake Control (EBC)
The Engine Brake Control is developed to optimize bike stability during the challenging corner entry phase, modulating the engine brake effect and balancing the forces that act on the rear tire under intense deceleration.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) 2.0
The new Panigale V2 SP adopts the second-generation Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 that debuted on the new Panigale V4. With respect to a traditional quick shift, the gear lever does away with the “micro-switch”, for more direct feel when shifting up and down, reduced lever travel and more consistent performance. This is made possible by a strategy that uses a sensor positioned on the gear drum to provide information.
Ducati Power Launch and Ducati Pit Limiter as standard
The new Panigale V2 SP features Ducati Power Launch and Ducati Pit Limiter as standard. The first is a system that guarantees lightning starts, allowing the rider to focus solely on managing clutch release, while the second, which can be activated by pressing the dedicated button, limits the bike’s speed along the pit lane.
