So many engineering and technological aspects bring the Streetfighter V4 to life. A balances of distinctive lines, brutal power, and cutting-edge technology and components come together in the Fight Formula.
The latest generation electronic package of the Streetfighter V4, which incorporates the updates introduced on the Panigale V4 family, is based on the use of a 6-axis inertial platform (6D IMU - Inertial Measurement Unit) capable of instantly detecting roll angle, yaw and pitch of the bike in space.
The evolution of power modes
The new Streetfighter implements the new Power Mode logic already introduced with the Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S, naturally with calibrations dedicated to the Desmosedici Stradale engine in the Streetfighter configuration.
There are four engine delivery strategies: Full, High, Medium, Low.
Full and Low are newly devised, while High and Medium have been revised in strategy.
Full Power Mode
Full Power Mode allows the engine to express its full potential with torque curves without electronic filters, except for first gear. It is not associated with any of the Riding Modes in the default configuration, but must be selected manually by the rider.
High & Medium Power Mode
For the High and Medium Power Modes, a new Ride by Wire map management system has been developed with dedicated calibration for each of the six gears, which ensures the rider always obtains the optimum thrust every time the throttle is opened. The calibrations dedicated to the Streetfighter V4 guarantee the maximum correlation between the torque value requested by the rider and that actually delivered.
Low Power Mode
The Low Power Mode, on the other hand, has been designed for riding on the road or for low-grip surfaces, limiting the maximum power of the bike to 160 hp and offering a particularly manageable throttle response.
New Wet Riding Mode
The Wet Riding Mode is designed for riding on low-grip surfaces, or precisely on wet roads. The RM limits maximum power to 160 hp with a particularly gentle throttle response (power mode Low) and, in the V4 S version, a softened suspension set-up to favour grip and safety. The default level of the electronic controls is set to offer maximum stability ensuring better grip and stability.
Second-generation TFT
The Streetfighter V4 uses the same advanced full-TFT 127 mm (5”) colour high resolution instrument as the Panigale V4, with the virtual circular tachometer as the dominant element of the dashboard on the right side.
The graphics are revised in all views, to make all information simpler and more descriptive and help the enthusiast in the calibration of all the adjustable parameters.
In addition, especially for enthusiasts who want to take advantage of the Streetfighter V4's performance on the track, the dashboard now offers the Track Evo display mode. Even those who prefer to ride on the road will still enjoy a racing-inspired dashboard appearance.
Ducati Electronic Suspension EVO
The S version is equipped with event-based Öhlins suspension with electronic control, based on the second generation Öhlins Smart EC.
In addition to exploiting all the potential offered by the 6D IMU, has a new and more intuitive interface called OBTi (Objective Based Tuning Interface) for the settings.
Ducati Lap Timer GPS
The DLT GPS, available as a Ducati Performance accessory, allows lap times to be automatically detected and stored, and displayed directly on the motorcycle dashboard at each passage on the finish line.
The system is equipped with a useful "Best Lap" function, which flashes the time taken for 5 seconds if it is the best chronometric measurement of the current lap session. For each lap, for a total of 15 consecutive laps, the time, the max rpm and the maximum speed are stored, the information can be viewed on the dashboard by entering the specific menu. DLT GPS is available as a Ducati Performance plug-and-play accessory.
Ducati Data Analyser + GPS
The Ducati Data Analyzer + GPS (DDA + GPS) allows you to evaluate the performance of the motorcycle and rider, graphically presenting specific data channels.
The DDA + GPS, an essential tool in track riding to monitor your performance, in addition to automatically displaying and recording lap times every time the Streetfighter V4 crosses the finish line in a circuit, allows you to store numerous data channels including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine speed, selected gear, engine temperature, distance travelled, engine rpm, DTC index. The DDA + GPS is available as a Ducati Performance plug-and-play accessory.
Ducati Multimedia System
The versatility of the Streetfighter V4 is evidenced by the predisposition for the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), through which it is possible to accept incoming calls, select and listen to music and receive SMS notifications.
Getting on the bike, the smartphone automatically connects to the bike itself via Bluetooth, thus allowing the rider to manage the main multimedia functions. The track of the song being played, the icon indicating the receipt of new SMS, or the name of the caller are visualized on the TFT display. The audio of the call and the music are transmitted to the earphones of the rider’s helmet. The DMS is available as a Ducati Performance plug-and-play accessory.
State-of-the-art electronic setup
The electronic package includes controls that manage all riding phases: some are responsible for starting, accelerating and braking, others for monitoring traction, others relating to the phases of cornering and exit.
Once set, it will be sufficient to engage first gear and open the throttle: during the first phase of the start, while the driver modulates the release of the clutch, the DPL will keep the Desmosedici Stradale stable around an optimal speed according to the selected DPL level; in the second phase, when the clutch is fully released, the DPL will control the torque delivered to ensure the maximum possible acceleration based on the predefined level.
Ducati Wheelie Control
The Streetfighter V4 is also equipped with the latest version of Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO. This system, using information from the Bosch 6D IMU, controls wheelie and allows for maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety.
The DWC EVO more accurately detects the presence and extent of wheelies and intervenes to control them with a greater level of precision, so as to satisfy the rider's requests even more precisely.
Ducati Electronic Suspension
The S version is equipped with event-based Öhlins suspension with electronic control, based on the second generation Öhlins Smart EC. In addition to exploiting all the potential offered by the 6D IMU, has a new and more intuitive interface called OBTi (Objective Based Tuning Interface) for the settings.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2
The new Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2 strategy derives from the Ducati Desmosedici GP18 and is already used on the Panigale V4 R and V4 R SBK.
In addition to interfacing with the 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and adapting the intervention and the slippage to the lean angle of the bike, the software significantly improves power management out of corners thanks to the new "predictive" control strategy. By acting not only on the instantaneous value of the rear spin, but also on its variation, it intercepts the loss of grip more quickly and reduces slippage peaks, thus ensuring a quicker and more regular intervention. All this translates into greater vehicle stability when exiting corners, even in non-optimal grip conditions, greater acceleration and improved performance both over a single lap and on long runs.
New strategy for Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The DQS EVO 2 with up / down function, developed for the Panigale V4, uses the information on the lean angle to maximize the stability of the bike during the shifting phase when cornering.
The DQS EVO 2, in addition to minimizing shifting times, allows you to downshift without using the clutch, ensuring even more effective braking. The system includes a bi-directional microswitch integrated in the kinematics of the lever which, in correspondence with each gearshift operation, sends a signal to the Desmosedici Stradale control unit. The system acts separately for shifting and downshifting, integrating the action on ignition advance and injection, already present on the up-shift system, with the controlled opening of the throttle valve for downshift operation thanks to full Ride by Wire system management.
New Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO 2
The EBC (Engine Brake Control) has been developed to help riders optimize the stability of the bike in extreme cornering conditions, balancing the forces to which the rear tyre.
The EBC EVO 2 of the Streetfighter V4 2023, optimized on the basis of lean angle, monitors the position of the throttle, the selected gear and the deceleration of the Desmosedici Stradale shaft during the most aggressive braking, and precisely adjusts the throttle opening to balance the torque forces applied to the tyre. The EBC EVO can be set on three levels integrated in the Riding Modes. The software is characterized by a differentiated gear by gear calibration on each of the three selectable levels, according to a new strategy developed to optimize the intensity of the engine brake action according to the load on the rear. In the first braking phase, when there is little load on the rear tyre, the EBC EVO 2 provides less engine brake, then increasing it as you approach the centre of the corner, where the intervention of the engine brake makes the greatest contribution in slowing down the bike and closing the line. Thanks to this modification, which guarantees a more balanced intervention of the control on the engine brake in all riding conditions, rear wheel locking in the most demanding braking sections is also reduced.
ABS Cornering EVO
The ABS system of the Streetfighter V4 includes the "cornering" function, which extends ABS intervention even with an inclined bike and has the same intervention logics and control types as the Panigale V4.
ABS Cornering EVO can be set on three levels to fully meet the needs of all riders both in track and road riding, even in the most critical low grip situations. Level 3 is suitable for the road or for low-grip conditions, it guarantees safe and stable braking in all conditions, always maintaining rear wheel lifting under control during the strongest decelerations. Levels 2 and 1, on the other hand, favour braking power and are therefore more geared towards sport riding on high-grip surfaces and on the track. Level 2 is recommended for use on the track by the amateur rider. The system manages both the front and rear braking systems, keeps the "cornering" function active while there is no lift-up control, allowing sportier braking. Selecting level 2 activates the “slide by brake” function that allows you to drift when entering a curve for a spectacular and safe ride. Level 1, not associated by default to any of the Riding Modes, is recommended for experienced riders in track use. It guarantees a racing intervention of the ABS system which acts only on the front wheel. Both the "cornering" function and the anti-lift up intervention are disabled to generate maximum performance.
Ducati Slide Control (DSC)
The introduction of the 6D IMU made it possible to add Ducati Slide Control (DSC), developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse, to the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO.
This system supports the rider by controlling the torque delivered by the Desmosedici Stradale engine as a function of the slide angle. Its goal is to improve performance out of corners by preventing slide angles that would otherwise be difficult to manage. The DSC works thanks to the 6D IMU which provides the vehicle dynamics control unit with information on the dynamics of the motorcycle (such as lean angle, acceleration and much more). Like the DTC EVO, the DSC manages reductions in torque by intervening on the opening of the throttle valves, the reduction of advance and injection cuts. In all situations where rapid DSC intervention is not required, the use of the throttle body valves allows optimal combustion parameters to be maintained, thus obtaining a response from the Desmosedici Stradale and smoother intervention. The DSC is adjustable on two levels: passing from level 1 to level 2, the system allows the rider to more easily control slide angle values that would otherwise be difficult to manage. It is possible to modify the DSC intervention level by entering the menu, from which it is also possible to set the values of DTC EVO and DWC EVO. It is also possible to set the direct control of the DSC through the direct access keys located on the left switch. The DSC set value is always visible on the dashboard.
