890 cc displacement with a weight of just 54.4 kg.
The new V2 engine sees Ducati take yet another innovative step forward with a Euro5+ approved engine that is up to 9kg lighter than the previous Superquadro and approximately 5.8 kg lighter than the Testastretta Evoluzione and the Desmodue that equips the Scrambler®. A result that allows Ducati designers to engineer bikes that are even lighter as well as more agile, enjoyable and high-performance.
Iconic 90°configuration
The 90° architecture of the new V2 engine continues the tradition of Ducati sports engines. Slender and with real personality in its tone and delivery, the V configuration of the cylinders also ensures the intrinsic balancing of first order forces, with no need for a countershaft to eliminate vibration.
Thanks to the Intake Variable Timing (IVT) system, the new Ducati twin delivers very linear torque right from low rpm, with a prompt and exciting throttle response, and sports performance at high rpm. This is because the IVT system intervenes by progressively varying the timing of the intake valve control across a 52° range, via a timing actuator on the end of the camshaft.
