Superbike 848 - LIGHTWEIGHT MOVES —HEAVYWEIGHT PUNCH
The new 848 enjoys all the performance advancements
of the entire Superbike family, while adding its own innovations
to redefine the middleweight sport bike class.
The words 'agile' and 'refined' aptly describe the 848.
At 369 lbs the 848 is an amazing 44 lbs lighter than its
predecessor, and a significant 11 lbs lighter than its larger
capacity brother, the 1098.
The highly advanced 848 engine uses an improved method
of engine case production in which cases are vacuum die-cast
formed. While providing significant weight savings of more
than 6.5 lbs, this method also ensures consistent wall thickness
and increased strength. Further refinements include a sophisticated
wet clutch that offers 2.2 lbs less weight, a much higher
service life, improved clutch feel and quiet operation.
With the first twist of the wrist, the powerful rush of
the Testastretta Evoluzione engine confirms that the rules
have changed. The 848's 134 hp is not only 30% more powerful
than its predecessor, but it provides a power-to-weight
ratio even better than the potent 999. The 848—a new
class of Superbikes.
