Ducati Puts Carbon Wheels on the Streetfighter V4 SP

Ducati just gave its flagship naked bike a serious batch of track hardware.

Shown at EICMA 2026 in Milan, the 2027 Streetfighter V4 SP is an individually numbered hypernaked. Ducati engraves each motorcycle's production serial number directly onto the steering head. It packs 214 horsepower and wears a brushed aluminum fuel tank finished in matte Winter Test livery.

The big mechanical highlight sits at the axles. The SP variant gets five split-spoke carbon-fiber wheels. Those rims shave 950 grams of unsprung mass compared to forged aluminum wheels. That drops the moment of inertia by 12 percent up front and 19 percent at the rear, making the bike quicker to flick side to side.

Track-focused parts run throughout the build. You get an STM dry slipper clutch, Öhlins semi-active electronic suspension, and Brembo Stylema R front calipers.

This build applies to riders in the U.S. looking for an elite hypernaked. The top-tier SP trim brings WSBK-inspired carbon components, unmistakable dry clutch mechanics, and aggressive performance ergonomics to American roads and track days.

Would you take this stripped-down machine over a fully faired superbike?
