 Ducati
Superbike 1098 - ENGINEERED BY THE STOPWATCH, DESIGNED BY
THE RACETRACK
The 1098 immediately strikes you with its purposeful,
no-nonsense attitude. Performance is first and foremost
in every detail.
Trademark Ducati features like the high tail section and
compact front-end meld with twin under-seat silencers and
single-sided swingarm to express its aerodynamics and agility.
Add the new Testastretta Evoluzione engine at the heart
of the machine and you get an all-out performance Ducati
Superbike that seems to be moving fast, even when at rest.
The 1098 introduces a number of 'firsts' for Ducati and
production sport bike design. The 1098 is the first production
motorcycle to have the amazing stopping power of Brembo
Monobloc brakes, the first to have a data acquisition system
integrated as standard equipment and the first to use an
ingenious construction method for its weight-saving single-sided
swingarm. More 'firsts' for a road-going Ducati include
the direct application of MotoGP technology, like the power
producing GP6-derived elliptical throttle bodies and the
use of the information-rich instrumentation originally developed
for the new Desmosedici GP7.
The 1098 has the soul of a race bike, pure and simple. The
riding position encourages the rider to mould to the sleek
lines of the tank and seat: man and machine are made one.
It transmits the quality and character of contact between
road surface and tyre, it signals the way the chassis will
react next and responds instinctively to rider commands.
Satisfying all the senses, the throaty roar of the twin
under-seat exhausts are synchronized with the howl of the
elliptical throttle bodies providing a fitting fanfare for
the new 1098 Testastretta Evoluzione engine. The huge 104mm
bore and all-new cylinder head design unite to produce an
awesome 160hp and an arm-wrenching 90+ lb-fts of torque.
Developed together with Ducati Corse, the 1098 is a masterpiece
of incredible performance and innovation.
