ChaptersCARBON FIBER: Lightness defines the performance of a motorcycle. Cutting-edge materials define its legacy. Never before has a production motorcycle been endowed with exotic materials to such an extent. Precision crafted components are produced with the highest grade of precisely woven carbon fibre, carefully tuned for optimal rigidity, with a single-minded obsession for astonishing speed and ethereal handling. Lightweight carbon fibre wheels debut on a production motorcycle and greatly reduce unsprung rotating mass, ensuring breath-taking agility while maintaining maximum resilience. The monocoque frame has been a hallmark of Ducati Superbikes for several years, and has now been expertly engineered in lightweight carbon fibre, as has the subframe which houses the electronics, tail and seat.PRESTIGE MATERIALS: By selecting the very best parts, rendered even more valuable by the use of prestige materials and advanced production processes, the resulting riding experience exceeds even the highest expectations. The characteristics of a frame designed with the utmost precision ensure that the race-inspired suspension offers superior balance in terms of stability and handling. At the same time incredible braking performance on entering corners ensures meticulous precision, lap after lap. The Superbike world championships are the inspiration behind the design and materials used for the fuel tank – a perfect partnership between man and motorcycle. In order to keep the weight to a minimum, even the screws and minor parts are made exclusively from titanium and aluminium.ENGINE: This incredible marvel of engineering is most likely never to be repeated in a street-legal twin-cylinder motorcycle. With a bore of 116 mm and stroke of and 60.8 mm, the displacement is now 1285 cc and, thanks to specifically developed components and materials, an unprecedented maximum power output of 215 hp at 11,000 rpm* is obtained while being fully Euro IV compliant. A non-street-legal racing exhaust kit is delivered together with the motorcycle, and guarantees an increase in peak power of 5 hp and a reduction in weight of 4 kg compared to the Euro IV exhaust. The trademark Desmodromic distribution now features new camshafts that allow for increased valve lift. The new titanium valves now have a larger diameter and are optimised for increased lift, maximising performance. The cylinder head has also been redesigned and now features larger ducts. New, 116 mm, 2-segment pistons reduce friction, while new titanium conrods ensure weight is kept to a minimum. The high power is channelled through an ultra-compact and lightweight crankshaft, perfectly balanced with tungsten counterweights. A new forged clutch basket ensures maximum resilience while a new anti-hopping clutch guarantees stability under the hardest braking. The sand-cast crankcase employs production methods normally reserved for the highest level of competition engines.
