• Ducati Monster S4R - A new wind
Visit the official Ducati Monster S4R webpage
The S4R is the top of the range Monster - the most powerful, highest-performance Monster ever. It all starts with the 996 cc Superbike engine and lightweight Superbike-derived trellis frame to ensure the perfect combination of power and handling. A Showa fully-adjustable front fork with low friction TiN treatment and a fully-adjustable Showa rear shock handle suspension duties.
The exclusive Ducati Superbike rising rate, ride height adjustable rear suspension system includes a new single-sided aluminum swingarm. An extraordinarily beautiful "two into one into two" exhaust has been designed for the S4R. With both silencers positioned high and on the right side of the bike, the system has an aggressive and powerful new look.
113 horsepower combined with the S4R's lightweight of 193 kg/425 lbs results in an inspiring power-to-weight ratio. Twisting the throttle of the S4R is thrilling. A close ratio gearbox just adds to the excitement.
• Ducati Supersport 1000DS - The king of the class.
Visit the official Ducati SS 1000DS webpage
The King of the class, the Supersport 1000 boasts
a 992 cc Dual Spark engine and state-of-the-art suspension components making
it the most advanced Supersport ever made.
Its signature Ducati trellis frame and 992 cc Dual Spark engine guarantee
confidence-inspiring stability and torque-filled power.
Suspension is provided by a fully-adjustable, lightweight, 43 mm, Showa front fork and exclusive Öhlins fully-adjustable rear shock. This unique feature permits ride height adjustment without changing spring preload, allowing the rider to tailor handling characteristics to variable conditions and riding style. Superior Brembo front and rear brakes assure potent and progressive stopping power.
• Ducati 999R - Superbike world champion.
Visit the official Ducati 999R webpage
This is the link between standard production
bikes and the racing world. With the best that technology can offer, it stands
out thanks to even more advanced technical solutions, starting with a high
performance big bore/short stroke Testastretta engine, producing even higher
RPM limits and 139 Hp.
The carbon fibre is the result of extensive wind tunnel testing and the exclusive
nature of the motorcycle is reinforced by the limited edition numbered plate
affixed to the fork yoke.
The rear shock absorber and fork are by Öhlins, adjustable for pre-load, plus rebound and compression damping. The 43 millimetre diameter fork stanchions have undergone a titanium-nitride treatment for improved suspension response and the special front fork lowers allow the mounting of the radial callipers. The Brembo Marchesini wheels are made from an aluminium alloy that is forged in a process that is the same as used for the production of racing wheels, creating a wheel of higher torsional rigidity and lower weight.
The Testastretta engine fitted in the 999R chassis is especially designed for track use and makes 139 HP at 10.000 RPM with 11 kgm of torque at 8.000 RPM. The 999R is delivered to the customer complete with a kit for track use only. It includes a Termignoni 102 Db exhaust, with horizontal rear half-manifold without catalytic converter and a dedicated electronic control unit, which reduces weight by three kilos (6.6 lbs.) while improving performance.
• Ducati 749R - For those who focus directly on competition.
Visit the official Ducati 749R webpage
For those focused directly on competition, the 749R is the ideal solution. It is a perfect racing machine, with a Testastretta series engine and chassis specifically developed to ensure top competitiveness on the racetrack. The considerable use of special materials, from magnesium to carbon fiber to titanium, make this motorcycle extra-light and extremely effective.
Every 749R is "signed" with a numbered silver plate on the steering head, which adds yet another exclusive touch to one of the most original bikes on the current worldwide motorcycling scene. The front suspension is also very high quality: an entirely new Öhlins upside-down fork with tubing 43 millimeters in diameter, with titanium nitride treatment for smoother sliding. In addition to being fully adjustable, the fork has a special foot to allow radial fastening of the brake calipers.
The twin-cylinder of the Testastretta series was also developed to encourage the racing use of the 749R. The 116 HP at 10,500 rpm, and 8.16 kgm at 8,500 rpm are the result of a long process that begins with shortening the stroke and increasing the bore. The new slipper clutch, which has been specifically developed for racing use, stops the rear wheel locking up under extreme braking conditions typical of track riding. Also made of titanium are the connecting rods, while the head covers are made of magnesium and the belt covers are carbon fiber, equipped with forced ventilation to aid in cooling.
