Ducati India has rolled out the Panigale V2 motorcycle in the new black shade. The automaker previously offered the motorcycle only in the red color scheme. The 2024 Ducati Panigale V2 Black is available at a price tag of INR 20.98 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings for the new Panigale V2 black edition started in April 2024, whereas deliveries should begin soon. The new motorcycle is INR 30,000 more expensive than the standard model. It arrives in the country as a Completely Built Unit (CBU). The bike rivals the likes of the BMW S 1000 RR and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.
The Panigale V2 motorcycle features the same distinctive design language as the flagship Panigale V4. It houses a twin headlamp setup and the signature LED DRLs. The Ducati Panigale V2 Black has an all-black gloss-finished paint scheme followed by red stripes on the fuel tank and fairing.
