Ducati Streetfighter V4

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 01:29 AM The mileage of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S is not its strongest suit, especially when ridden aggressively. During my experience, the on-board indicator dropped to as low as 8 kmpl when riding aggressively, which is expected given the bikes high power output and performance-oriented nature. However, when ridden in more conservative modes such as Urban or Wet mode, the bike can manage a slightly better fuel economy, though it will still be far from economical. For those who plan to use this bike frequently, especially in city traffic, the fuel costs will be a significant consideration. Nonetheless, for the thrill and performance it delivers, many riders will find the trade-off acceptable. ABOUT The Ducati Streetfighter V4 S is a powerhouse of a motorcycle built around the same chassis as the Panigale V4 but with a roadster twist. It features a 1103cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled V4 engine that redlines at 14,500 rpm and produces 205.17 bhp. The bike is equipped with advanced electronics, including multiple ride modes, traction control, wheelie control, launch control, and cornering ABS, which make it both powerful and safe to ride. The Ohlins suspension with electronic controls ensures a balance between comfort and sporty feedback, making it versatile for both street and track use. The design is striking, with biplane wings and a single-sided swing arm showcasing the Marchesini forged wheels. While the seat height of 845mm may not suit all riders, the upright ergonomics provide a comfortable riding position. Overall, the Streetfighter V4 S is a stunning combination of performance, technology, and style that makes it a standout in Ducatis lineup.
