Puig Brake Cooling Air Duct for Ducati Panigale V2 S (2025–2026)

Designed and manufactured at Puig's Barcelona facility, this brake cooling air duct for the Ducati Panigale V2 S (2025–2026) is a precision-engineered aerodynamic solution that channels cold air directly to the front caliper, cutting average caliper temperatures by 10°C and preserving a consistent, fade-free brake feel when conditions push the system hardest.

Key Features

• Aerodynamic air guide captures, compresses and directs airflow straight to the radial caliper, combating brake fade and overheating on both track days and spirited road rides.
• Circuit-validated cooling: independent tests confirm an average 10°C reduction in brake caliper temperature, translating to measurable gains in braking consistency and feel at the lever.
• Manufactured from UV-resistant ABS plastic using advanced injection-moulding technology at Puig's Barcelona facility — dimensionally stable and impervious to sun-induced degradation.
• Steel mounting brackets finished in a refined textured black deliver the rigidity and strength required for intensive, high-stress use without adding unnecessary mass.
• Supplied as a complete set of two cooling ducts — one per side — for a symmetrical, OEM-quality installation.
• TÜV-approved and homologated (ABE KBA 31948 SP BC), confirming compliance with rigorous German quality and road-legality standards.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Puig has been shaping motorcycle aerodynamics from Barcelona for decades, and every detail of this brake cooling duct reflects that pedigree. The textured black steel brackets are not an afterthought — they are finished to complement the Panigale V2 S's aggressive bodywork while standing up to the thermal and mechanical punishment of repeated hard braking. The ABS ducting itself is moulded to tight tolerances, ensuring a snug, rattle-free fit that looks as purposeful as it performs. At just 222 g for the complete set, the weight penalty is negligible, yet the aerodynamic and thermal gains are real and repeatable.

Performance on Road and Track

Under normal street conditions, brake caliper temperatures remain manageable, but a demanding mountain pass, a track day, or back-to-back heavy braking zones can push any system beyond its ideal operating window. When that happens, brake fluid begins to approach its boiling point and pad compounds lose their optimum bite — the classic precursor to brake fade. The Puig brake cooling duct intervenes upstream of that problem: its sculpted intake scoop captures the oncoming airflow generated by forward motion, compresses it through the duct and exhausts it as a concentrated jet across the caliper body and disc rotor. The result is a caliper that stays within its working range lap after lap, delivering the same lever feel on the final corner of a session as it did on the first.

Installation is straightforward and requires no specialist tools. Following the paper instructions included in the box — or the version available on the Puig website — the ducts can be fitted in minutes. Applying the specified tightening torques to the bracket fasteners is essential: this is a high-stress area and correct torque ensures the assembly remains secure under vibration and aerodynamic load.
