Ducati has discharged finer portions and a few flawless symbolism of the 1199 Superleggera. The super-Gucci Panigale is situated to boast the most noteworthy power-to-weight proportion of any preparation bike, because of a blend of magnesium, carbon and titanium duplicity.
The point when looking over the present superbike scene, the Ducati 1199 Panigale stands taller than most. Its close-coupled bodywork, blasting L-twin motor and solid, lightweight edge (of which the motor is a structural part) plot to furnish amazing execution. Basically, its the two-wheeled simple to a renowned worldwide four-wheeled asphalt scorcher that likewise hails from Italy, the Ferrari 458 Italia.
However suppose it is possible that Ducati was to make a 1199 that was theoretically comparative to the Ferrari 458 Speciale. You know, more force, less weight and trap skeleton bits? That being said, it would most likely look and feel a considerable measure like the 2014 1199 Superlegger.
Styling-wise, the 1199 Superleggera isn’t that much not the same as the 1199 Panigale (counting the S and R forms). The windscreen has been reshaped, and there are white stripes along the flanks of the splendid red bodywork that pay tribute to the attires of Ducati dashing two wheeler, yet the generally shape and extents continue as before. Nonetheless, a considerable lot of the parts that fit inside that shape have been reinstated with lighter substitutes. The monocoque body is shaped from magnesium (as opposed to the Panigale’s aluminum piece), as are the spindly Marchesini wheels. The back sub-outline and the bodywork are made of carbon strand, and the back suspension uses a titanium curl spring.
More weight-recovering traps are discovered in the powertrain. The 1,198cc Superquadro L-twin as of recently had titanium associating bars and admission valves, however the Superleggera-spec motor additionally gets titanium debilitate valves and, despite anything that might have happened before on a Ducati road cycle, short-skirt cylinders with just two rings each. Reshaped cylinder crowns (for a higher clamping proportion) and a titanium debilitate framework are two other key transforms that permit the jumped up motor produce what Ducati will just say is “more than 200 drive.”
All that outlandish material signifies a few genuine weight reserve funds; so genuine, actually, that Ducati claims the 1199 Superleggera has a dry weight of an essentially bike as 342 lbs. Couple that with the 200+ horses rushing under the gas tank and you’re left with what the organization cases is the best power-to-weight proportion of any road lawful preparation bike in history. Furthermore provided that you need to make that power-to-weight figure all the all the more extraordinary, you can request a 1199 Superleggera with a not-road legitimate “Race Kit.” Consisting of an Akrapovic titanium hustling fumes framework, taller windscreen, dust spread, enclosure stands, and fittings for uprooting the mirrors, kickstand and permit plate section, the Race Kit includes 5 horsepower and removes 5.5 lbs.
Ducati hasn’t publicized the quantity of, uh, ducats you’ll ought to part with that will put an 1199 Superleggera as part of your garage. However, it’s said it has sold about three-fourths from the 500 bike production set you back some of its most loyal shoppers and prolific hobbyists. So, chances are you won’t manage to score one (not fresh, anyway). But cheer up, champ; Ducati has released this video and a number of photos to help give you a sort of exclusive Superleggera ownership knowledge. That’s kinda great, right?
