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

Keeping brake temperatures in check on the Ducati Streetfighter V2 and V2 S is the kind of detail that pays dividends every day — on the commute, on a spirited canyon run, and most of all during long, demanding rides where repeated hard braking slowly robs you of confidence at the lever. Puig's dedicated brake cooling air duct is a straightforward, road-legal upgrade that channels fresh air directly to the front caliper, cutting average caliper temperatures by 10°C and restoring the crisp, consistent braking feel the Streetfighter is built around.

Key Features

• Proven 10°C average reduction in brake caliper temperature, validated through circuit testing — less brake fade, more consistent lever feel across all riding conditions.
• Aerodynamic air-scoop design captures, compresses, and directs airflow precisely onto the caliper, acting as a purpose-built brake caliper cooling duct rather than a generic deflector.
• Set of two cooling ducts manufactured in UV-resistant ABS at Puig's Barcelona facility using advanced plastic moulding — lightweight at just 222 g for the pair, with no measurable impact on handling.
• Steel mounting brackets finished in textured black provide the rigidity needed for intensive use, resisting vibration and thermal cycling without loosening over time.
• Fully road-legal: TÜV-compliant quality standards and ABE homologation (KBA 31948 SP BC) mean no MOT complications and no track-day scrutineering issues.
• Quick, tool-friendly installation in minutes with paper instructions included; torque values are specified to protect the delicate fork-leg mounting area.

Everyday Usability and Real-World Value

Not every brake cooling system is designed with the daily rider in mind, but this one is. The ABS construction shrugs off UV exposure and road grime, the textured black brackets blend discreetly with the Streetfighter's aggressive styling, and the ABE homologation means you never have to remove it for an MOT or a track-day sound check. At 222 g total, the weight penalty is negligible. Whether you are threading through summer city traffic with repeated low-speed stops or chasing apexes on a track day, the air guide keeps the front braking system operating in its ideal temperature window — preserving both pad life and the sharp, progressive feel that makes the Streetfighter V2 such a rewarding machine to push.

Design and Construction

Developed and manufactured entirely at Puig's Barcelona production facility, these brake cooling ducts are shaped from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) — a material chosen for its stiffness-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and long-term UV stability. The aerodynamic profile is not an afterthought; each duct acts as a precision air guide that scoops incoming airflow, compresses it through the channel, and delivers it as a concentrated stream directly onto the radial caliper body. The steel brackets are finished in a textured black that resists chipping and complements the Streetfighter's dark, purposeful aesthetic without looking like an add-on. Mounting torque values are specified in the instructions because the attachment points on the lower fork legs are subject to significant stress, and Puig's guidance ensures the installation remains secure across thousands of kilometres.

Brake Overheating and Why It Matters

Brake fade is the gradual loss of stopping power and lever feel that occurs when caliper and fluid temperatures climb beyond their working range. On a naked bike like the Streetfighter V2, where the front wheel sits fully exposed with limited aerodynamic shielding, calipers are especially vulnerable during repeated hard braking. The Puig brake air scoop addresses this directly: by maintaining a continuous flow of cool air across the caliper body, it reduces peak temperatures and narrows the temperature delta between the first and last braking event of a session. The result is a more predictable, more confidence-inspiring front brake — exactly what the Streetfighter platform deserves.

Fitment and Compatibility

This brake cooling duct set is designed and homologated specifically for the following models:

• Ducati Streetfighter V2 (2025–2026)
• Ducati Streetfighter V2 S (2025–2026)
