The Ducati Streetfighter V4 was originally scheduled to be introduced in India this year. However, the iconic Italian company had to indefinitely postpone the launch of the naked motorcycle in our market because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, Ducati has announced the 2021 model of the Streetfighter V4 for the international markets which meets the Euro5 emission regulations. So, it is only a matter of time before the less polluting motorbike will reach the Indian shores.
To make the Streetfighter V4 meet the more
stringent Euro5 emission regulations, Ducati has incorporated various
modifications in the motorcycle’s Desmosedici Stradale exhaust line. The
company has also recalibrated the 1100cc engine. The silencer of the
Euro5-compliant Streetfighter V4 uses larger catalysts. Also, the dimensions of
the exhaust primaries of the rear bank have been optimised to reduce the
ignition time of the catalytic converter without compromising on the engine
performance.
Speaking of performance, the more
eco-friendly Ducati Streetfighter will deliver a maximum power output of 208 hp
at 13,000 rpm and a peak torque of 123 Nm will be generated at 9,500 rpm. Apart
from making the Streetfighter V4 comply with the Euro5 emission standards,
Ducati has also incorporated new front brake and clutch pumps, both
self-bleeding and derived from the ones used for the first time on the
Superleggera V4. The company has also introduced a new Dark Stealth colour
option for the 2021 model.
