Puig Brake Cooling Air Duct for Ducati Panigale V2 955 (2020–2024)

Conceived and crafted at Puig's Barcelona facility, this brake cooling air duct for the Ducati Panigale V2 is where purposeful engineering meets the understated elegance the brand is known for. Steel brackets finished in a textured black complement the Panigale's sharp bodywork, while the precision-moulded ABS construction carries the same design rigour you expect from a manufacturer with decades of motorsport heritage.

Key Features

• Aerodynamic air channel captures, compresses and directs airflow straight at the radial calipers, proven to reduce brake caliper temperature by an average of 10°C in circuit testing.
• Set of two cooling ducts manufactured from UV-resistant ABS using advanced plastic moulding technology at Puig's Barcelona facility.
• Textured black steel brackets deliver the structural rigidity needed for sustained high-stress use on both road and track.
• Complies with German TÜV quality standards and carries full ABE homologation (KBA 31948 SP BC), confirming road-legal fitment across Europe.
• Quick, straightforward installation completable in minutes; paper instructions included, with additional guidance available online.
• Lightweight at just 302 g — no meaningful addition to unsprung mass, yet a tangible gain in braking consistency.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Puig has been shaping motorcycle aerodynamics and protective accessories since 1964, and that heritage shows in the details of this brake air duct. The textured black finish on the steel brackets is not an afterthought — it is a considered choice that ties the unit visually to the Panigale V2's aggressive aesthetic without drawing the eye away from the bike's own lines. The ABS shells are moulded to close tolerances, with smooth internal geometry that acts as a true air guide rather than a crude deflector.

UV resistance is built into the material specification, so the ducts retain their appearance and structural integrity through seasons of sun exposure — important for a component mounted in an exposed position at the front of the fairing.

Performance on Road and Track

Under hard braking at the end of a long straight, or during repeated stops in technical track day sessions, brake overheating is one of the most insidious performance robbers a rider faces. The symptoms — a spongy lever, inconsistent bite, unpredictable fade — are all products of calipers operating beyond their ideal temperature window. This cooling duct addresses that directly: the aerodynamic scoop channels a continuous stream of air to the caliper body, keeping working temperatures in the zone where pad compound and fluid perform as intended.

The 10°C average reduction confirmed in circuit testing is meaningful in real-world terms. It translates to a firmer, more consistent lever feel across an entire session, reduced risk of brake fade on demanding descents, and extended pad and fluid service intervals. For a machine like the Panigale V2 — capable, focused and regularly taken to track days — this brake cooling system is a logical and cost-effective upgrade.

Correct installation torque must be applied to the mounting hardware; the bracket area experiences significant vibration and stress, and the included instructions specify the values required for a secure, lasting fit.
