Ducati is revealing more details about what will be one of its most spectacular machines, the 899 Panigale, as this bike features the new Superquadro engine, which has a revised bore and stroke ratio for broad power delivery, producing 148 hp with 10.1 kgm of torque.
Therefore, the engine is progressive and remains a standout element of the Panigale’s monocoque structure, achieving both an excellent power-to-weight ratio and agility on the road, with a dry weight of 169 kg.
The 1199 silhouette reveals the family’s DNA, and its perfectly integrated Riding Mode technology with Ride by Wire, triple ABS, DTC and EBC continues to showcase the benchmark ingenuity introduced with the award-winning Panigale, and the same structure can be seen in the 899. Ducati’s constant pursuit of perfection delivers, on this occasion, versatile performance that brings enthusiasts into the world of high performance with authenticity and style.
As for the colours in which it is available, we have the classic red with black wheels from Ducati, or a dazzling arctic white with red wheels.
