Superbike 1098 R - THE LIGHTEST AND MOST POWERFUL TWIN-CYLINDER
BIKE OF ALL TIME
The new 1098 R is the most powerful and lightest
twin-cylinder bike ever produced by the Borgo Panigale factory,
with the highest torque/weight ratio in the sportbike category.
It is the jewel in the crown of the successful Superbike
family and it represents the ultimate expression of racing
technology applied to a production bike. Ducati Corse engineers
and riders worked in close contact with the R&D division
during the development of this project to produce a true
racing bike, a masterpiece of incredible performance and
innovation.
The numbers speak for themselves. A total of 180hp is on
tap for this new hypersport machine, together with an amazing
99.1lb-ft of torque. The weight figure also confirms the
racing origins of the 1098 R: 363lbs puts the bike at the
forefront of this category. The development of the Testastretta
Evoluzione has now found its crowning glory in the new engine
for the latest addition to the Ducati family: the 1098 R.
2008 SRP OTR £24,000 (subject to change without prior
notification)
Created after close collaboration between engineers from
Ducati’s production and racing departments, this new
engine is fitted with the same components powering the 1098
F08 that will take on the Japanese opposition in the 2008
World Superbike Championship. The R version of the 1098
has been boosted to an engine displacement of 1198cc. A
bore increase from 104mm to 106mm and a stroke value of
67.9mm, producing a remarkable 1.56 ratio, complete the
‘over-square’ layout of the engine.
The power output of 180hp (132.4 kW) at 9750 rpm and a torque
value of 99.1lb-ft (134Nm) at 7750 rpm place the 1098 R
at the very top of its class. It is the most powerful twin-cylinder
production engine in history and fitting reward to the continued
ingenuity of Borgo Panigale engineers.
