The 1199 Panigale sets the most extreme benchmark ever and its arrival represents one of the most historic moments in Ducati's incredible Superbike history.
Every last detail of the 1199 Panigale pays tribute to our rich heritage of racing: each component is not only functionally efficient, but beautifully engineered into pieces of automotive art. The fairings sweep back towards the rear of the bike, emphasizing the pulled-in effect, so much that the fairing surface had to be cut to house the engine covers and exhaust pipe. Another highly distinctive feature of this bike is the rear light mounted in the streamlined and pointed tail. Everything about this bike communicates power, elegance and agility.
The Superquadro is the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet and is destined to power the new Ducati 1199 Panigale with absolute performance perfection.
The innovative Superquadro engine, so called because of its massively over-square bore and stroke ratio, has increased power to an absolute production twin-cylinder milestone of 195hp and torque to 98.1 lb-ft (13.5kgm) with user-friendly Riding Modes that deliver that power appropriate to the rider's style and environment. Its construction has enabled a radical reduction in overall vehicle weight and, further identifying Ducati's constant pursuit of performance perfection, major services have been extended to 24,000km (15,000 miles).
