Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2022

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2022

The problem of the Streetfighter V4 S with Euro4 engine, namely no power in the lower rev range but explosion in the upper rev range, has been largely rectified with the update to Euro5. Although the disgusting 208 hp are still only available at 13,000 rpm, the SF V4 S is now also acceptable at lower revs. Ergonomics and handling are still good, and the electronic Öhlins suspension is at its best. The brute Brembo Stylema stoppers again celebrate the penchant for the racetrack. A perfect poser bike that now also works on the country road, and on the racetrack anyway. Only the all-too-loud sound should be curbed a little.

The KTM is and remains the most brutal naked bike on the market. The upright seating position combined with the wild V2 power make it seem more brutal than it is on paper. It has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs smoother, the shift assistant brings calm in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved. It still loves the wild chase more than high cornering speed on long bends.
