CHASSIS MONOCOQUE TECHNOLOGY: The Panigale S's Monoscocca chassis forms its structural backbone - compact, rigid, lightweight, and multi-functional. Cast in aluminum, it attaches at its rear directly to the heads of the Superquadro engine and contains the steering head and bearings at its front. In addition to performing the function of a traditional frame, the Monoscocca also serves as the airbox and in this way significantly contributes to lowering the overall weight of the motorcycle.

BRAKES: The 1299 Panigale S features the finest brakes available - Brembo's M50 Monobloc calipers. Sporting an extremely compact design and machined out of a single alloy block, the M50 calipers offer the ultimate in rigidity and deformation resistance during extreme braking. ERGONOMICS: The Panigale S's ergonomic dimensions assure a perfect integration between rider and motorcycle. The seat and handlebar positions are optimized to provide total control and comfort during sport and track riding, while the switchgear and dash are further designed to be intuitive, informative, and a pleasure to use. Grippy, machined-from-billet aluminum footpegs and a carefully-shaped seat with racing cover allow the rider to perfectly integrate with the Panigale, and focus only on the extraordinary sensations of the ride.

The tires have structures and compounds deriving directly from Pirelli's experience i
