For you reading pleasure, ere are some published details about this astonishing bike:

“Among the modern features offered by the motorcycle you’ll find a modern exhaust, EDs, BS and the all new telemetry housed in the latest-generation DDA+, hich also utilizes GPS signals.

Compared to the previous generation, he 2012 Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale S Tricolore is 10 kg lighter and 25 hp stronger. Needless to say that this results in improved handling and increased overall performances.

The motorcycle is powered by the Superquadro unit which is the most powerful twin-cylinder engine on the planet. Its power has been increased up to 195 HP@10,750 rpm, hile torque has been increased to 13.5 kgm@9,000 rpm. You also get the Riding Mode options, hich helps you modulate power delivery based on riding style and road conditions.

The 1199 Panigale sets a new and extreme standard of reference in the world of supersport bikes. The project that brought the 1199 Panigale into being based itself on two seemingly impossible objectives, hich have been brilliantly achieved: a 10 kg reduction in weight and a 25 HP increase in power. Its arrival is a milestone in the glorious history of the Ducati Superbike.

DISTINCTIVELY DUCATI: The beauty of speed translated into design. The pure racing spirit is instantly channeled into the rider just by gripping the 1199 Panigale’s handlebar. The front headlamp disappears into the air scoops to give a look of no holds-barred competition. While the 1199 Panigale features LEDs for position lights and lamps for the headlights, he S versions and S Tricolore have full LED lighting, totally new concept for motorcycles. The elegant forms of the saddle and the tail are heightened by the position of the exhaust and by the full LED tail light. Perspectives and lines are designed to attain aesthetic perfection; every one of its components is a true achievement in the integration of engineering and design. Breathtaking, rademark Ducati design. The 1199 Panigale is a bike that conveys power, legance and agility.

ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT: The Superquadro is the most powerful twin-cylinder engine on the planet, nd as evidence of the Ducati 1199 Panigale’s flawless performance, t has been given the task of equipping the new bike. In the innovative Superquadro engine, he power has been increased up to 195 HP@10,750 rpm, n absolute reference for a series-produced twin-cylinder, hile torque has been increased to 13.5 kgm@9,000 rpm. And thanks to the Riding Mode options, he rider is able to modulate power delivery based on riding style and road conditions. The clutch covers, he cylinder head covers and the oil pan are all produced in a magnesium alloy casting to ensure the lowest weight of the engine while guaranteeing the desired mechanical strength. The journals of the main bearings are lubricated by pressurized oil admitted through ducts inside the engine block. This serves to assure the efficient lubrication of the new crankshaft, ollowed by a rapid recovery of the oil thanks to a new Ducati component, lobe pump that places the connecting rod compartment under vacuum, imilar to the engines used for the MotoGP races. The pump is driven by gears built in a special high-strength techno-polymer and maintains the crankcase area below the pistons in controlled conditions of constant vacuum, hereby reducing the resistance during the downward travel and assuring an efficient recovery of lubricating oil in any condition of engine use. At the extremity of the exhaust camshaft of each cylinder head is a centrifugal decompressor. On start-up, he device allows the profile of the cam opening lobe to be modified, esulting in a slight lift of the valve that discharges part of the mix contained in the combustion chamber during the engine’s compression phase. This effect makes it possible to reduce the resistance to the motion of the piston in the compression phase. Once the engine is started, he increase in rpms and the relative centrifugal force modify the configuration of the device, ancelling the effect of the valve lift and bringing the engine back to normal operating conditions. This ingenious device facilitates the starting of the Superquadro engine without having to use a more powerful battery and a large starting motor, n turn making it possible to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle by 3.3 kg. The system further underlines the synergistic strength achieved by engineers and designers in the intense effort to reduce the bike’s weight. The new bore/stroke ratio of 1.84:1 (112 mm bore/60.8 mm stroke) has superbly increased the revolutions thanks to the ultra-short stroke of the crankshaft, hile the larger surface of the piston has led to an increase in valve diameter. Compared to the 1198 Testastretta Evoluzione engine, he intake valves have gone from 43.5 to 46.8 mm and exhaust valves from 34.5 to 38.2 mm. The engine has been designed as the structural element of the frame. As such, ts architecture has been completely reviewed to ensure the best design in terms of structure, eight distribution and robustness.The cylinders, t a 90° angle of each other, ave been rolled back an additional 6° on the crankcase to produce a 21° angle between the front cylinder and the horizontal plane. This has allowed the engine to go forward by 32 mm, s a result improving the distribution of weights between the front and rear end and achieving the perfect position of the fastening points of the cylinder heads into the monocoque chassis of the 1199 Panigale.After achieving the goal of improving engine "breathing", he Superquadro engineers turned their attention to the next challenge: to attain an engine calibration that optimally combines the high-performance delivery with regular operation achieved by reducing the cyclic dispersion of combustion. To obtain this, ucati introduced a system of secondary air that completes oxidization of the unburnt hydrocarbons, ffectively reducing the levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide (CO). The system is controlled by an electronic valve commanded by the engine control unit and is activated according to the specific condition of engine operation. This valve makes it possible to let in the exhaust pipe of each cylinder head (in a position slightly downstream of the exhaust valve) a flow of clean air originating directly from the air box. A second reed valve located in the engine head makes this flow unidirectional. The controlled inlet of oxygen makes it possible to complete the combustion of outgoing hot gases, liminating eventual fractions of unburnt fuel which in certain conditions can reach the exhaust. The opening and closing of the fuel feed throttles on the Superquadro are controlled by the electronic device Ride by Wire. The absence of a mechanical connection between the twist grip and the throttle bodies allows the engine ECU to regulate the power delivery by acting upon the throttle’s opening angle; the Ride by Wire makes it possible to have different power and delivery based on the selected Riding Mode (Power Modes), nd also to punctually manage the engine brake (EBC), s well as aiding to control the slipping of the rear wheel (DTC).The increased amount of air and fuel the engine can mix due to the larger diameter of intake valves is guaranteed by the new oval-sectioned throttle bodies, hich compared to a 63.9 equivalent diameter as on the 1198 Testastretta Evoluzione has been increased to an incredible 67.5 mm. The throttle bodies are controlled by a full Ride-by-Wire system, ach separate from the other and are fitted with 2 injectors each: the first is set below the throttle and feeds the engine in conditions of low load use, hereas the second is fitted above the throttle, s activated when the engine is given the command to unleash its maximum performance. The crankcases, roduced through a vacuum casting technology called Vacural®, nsure a maximum reduction in weight, uniform wall thickness and superior mechanical strength, nd are designed in such a way to incorporate the water jacket around the cylinder barrels. The Superquadro engine is fitted with aluminum wet barrels coated in Nikasil inserted into the holes of the engine block’s housing during the initial stages of assembly. This design allows the head to be fastened directly onto the crankcase, ombining the needs for rigidity of the engine’s structure with a significant advantage in terms of compactness. Due to their thin walls, he barrels also achieve an effective thermal exchange with the coolant running along the walls. In addition to the barrels, he crankcase stands out for the use of main bearing shells, reviously utilized only in the Ducati Desmosedici RR engine. The elimination of the ball bearings has made it possible to increase the diameter of the journals for the main bearings of the crankshaft, llowing an increase in the section of the engine block in the area surrounding the main bearing journals so as to maximize the rigidity and the mechanical strength and adapt it to the extreme power of the Superquadro. The need to control the enlarged valves with the extremely precise Desmodromic system prompted engineers to replace the original belt transmission, ounted on the first Ducati Pantah in 1979, ith a configuration mixing both chain and gears. As a result, he chain timing allows an efficient transmission of the motion between crankshaft and camshaft transmission and thanks to the automatic tensioning adjustment, nsures constant reliability and a reduction in routine maintenance costs. "Ducati engineers took their design freedom to the limit by increasing the distance between centers of the six-speed gearbox shafts and allowing the use of wheels with an increased diameter and superior strength for the transmission of power delivered. The oil bath clutch is a new feature for a Ducati Superbike at the top of the range. The design of the clutch, ery similar to the Multistrada and Diavel models, rovides for a progressive system which allows the load to be increased on plates without penalizing the effort required by the rider to pull the lever and disengage the clutch. This optimally satisfies both the need of high torque transmission and an optimum comfort for the rider. In sport riding conditions with abrupt shifting down and heavy exhaust braking, he same mechanism reduces the pressure on clutch plates, llowing them to slip as in a racing system, ontrasting with the loss of stability of the rear end during aggressive shifting down and offering the supplementary advantage of an excellent stability during hard braking into corners. The 1199 Panigale’s chassis marks an enormous innovation: different components have been integrated to give shape to a single compact and lightweight element that enhances the rider’s posture to perfect the riding position. The monocoque structure in cast aluminum for increased strength uses the Superquadro engine as a structural element and aids in reducing the bike’s total weight by 5 kg. The monocoque frame is fixed directly to the cylinder head, nd at front are two aluminum bushings inserted with the steering tube bearings. In addition to performing the traditional function of frame, he monocoque also acts as an air-box and significantly contributes to lowering the overall weight of the motorcycle. Housed inside, esides the air filter, re the throttle bodies and fuel circuit complete with injectors, nd the bottom of the aluminum tank (lighter by 1.9% compared to the 1198) is used as a cover for the air box. The layout of the exhaust manifolds is 2 into 1 into 2 with twin tailpipe under the sump. The design of the exhaust assembly is a work of highly refined engineering: the ends have a complex exterior shape due to the size restrictions necessitated by the "deep sump" of the engine (on the interior) and the leaning angle (on the exterior). The primary manifolds have a ? 55 mm diameter, he central manifolds a ? 57mm; they are built in stainless steel and have a thickness of 0.8 mm, ith only the two short exits from the cylinder heads having a larger thickness (1.0 mm) to better resist vibrations. Even the silencers are in stainless steel with exception of the outer sleeve (or outer jackets) in aluminum alloy with a 2 mm thickness (result of a process of pre-deep drawing, olling and longitudinal welding). The reflection silencers have three chambers; in this application the chamber layout is especially complex with respect to the traditional design (used for the 1198) because the exhaust gas enters from the rear (with respect to the direction of travel) inside the silencer and exits again from the outside rear. From a construction perspective, his also implied a complex design, nd at several stations of deep-drawing of the aesthetic rear endcap, he catalytic converters are positioned at the inlet of the silencers and have dimensions of ? 80mm x 74.5 mm. n all models of the 1199 Panigale, he fork legs are set at an increased distance between centers, ypical of racing bikes in the Superbike World Championship. Thanks to this detail, ven the brake discs have a greater width when mounted to allow optimal cooling in any condition of use. The 1199 Panigale S and the Tricolore mount 43 mm ?hlins NIX30 forks at front and ?hlins TTX36 suspensions at rear, oth fitted with the DES system (Ducati Electronic Suspension). They are electronically adjustable in compression and rebound, hereas preload adjustment is manual. The rear suspension of the 1199 Panigale provides for a lateral assembly to allow easy access to perform adjustments. The system has also been designed to enable linkage adjustment, hich leads to two possible configurations of the rear suspension: "progressive" for road use with a passenger, nd "flat" for use on the track. The 1199 Panigale features a distribution of weights equivalent to 52% at the front and 48% at the rear without the rider. The ratio then becomes an optimal 50:50 when the rider is on the seat to guarantee absolute stability and handling. To achieve this optimal configuration, olutions were implemented to allow a concentration of the weights at the front: the engine has come forward 32 mm compared to the 1198, he exhaust system is placed under the engine, he rider’s position is advanced by 30 mm. Added to all this is the new single-sided swing arm in 100% cast aluminum secured directly to the rear of the engine, onger than the 1198 by 39 mm. The 1199 Panigale S and 1199 Panigale S Tricolore flaunt elegant 3-spoke rims, orged and machined, roduced by Marchesini. Finished in black and super lightweight, heir weight has been reduced by 0.4 kg with respect to the previous versions. The ABS 9ME equipping the 1199 Panigale and 1199 Panigale S as an option and fitted as a standard on the Tricolore, s a latest-generation system with two channels that performs combined braking with control of the lifting of the rear wheel to guarantee not only shorter braking distances, ut also the greatest stability during braking. Specifically intended for a sport use, he ABS 9ME, ffers three levels of operation, ach associated with a Riding Mode; in the RACE mode, he system works only on front discs to guarantee top performance during track use. The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) monitors control of the slipping of the rear tire and operates on the basis of eight different levels of interaction, ach of which has been programmed to respond to a different tolerance to rear slipping. Each Riding Mode is assigned a pre-set level of activation.
Level 8 indicates an activation of the system at the detection of the slightest slipping, hile Level 1, eserved for very expert riders, as a higher tolerance and thus a less invasive intervention of the system. The 1199 Panigale S and Tricolore have all LED lighting, n absolute innovation in the world motorcycling. The total racing look of this new Superbike also comes through in the full LED twin headlamp at front designed to be an integral part of the front air scoops. The double LED lights at rear harmoniously wrap around the air vents in the seat-tail assembly and, hen turned on, reate an alluring effect of signaling lights enhanced by stop lights. LED has also been used for the front and rear turn indicators and the number plate light. The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the electronic system that manages the gearbox and is used in competitions. It allows the gear to be engaged on acceleration without the use of the clutch and while maintaining the throttle open. The feature enables the rider to gain precious fractions of seconds, elping to considerably reduce lap times. The instrument panel on the 1199 Panigale takes the revolutionary TFT panel designed for the Diavel to another, ven superior, evel by applying the most highly advanced technology in the field of data visualization. The color display’s configuration is variable and automatically adapts to the variations in environmental light and to the selected Riding Mode. In the "Road" and "Wet" Riding Modes, peed takes center stage and is displayed in large numbers in the middle of the display, hereas the two boxes containing "supplementary information" underneath provide data on total mileage and engine coolant temperature. In the "Race" Riding Mode, he display layout is automatically reconfigured, hifting the display of the vehicle’s speed in the lower information box at left and making room for the last lap time, entrally displayed in large numbers. The DDA+ (an option on the 1199 Panigale and 1199 Panigale S, tandard on the Tricolore) is the latest generation of the Ducati Data Analyzer, hich integrates the GPS signal to create a "virtual finish line". The system automatically detects, ithout any intervention by the rider, he conclusion of the lap and stops the chronometric time. Integration with the GPS signal also provides visualization on the circuit map of the trajectories ridden and the main parameters of the vehicle: throttle opening, peed, pm, ear engaged, ngine temperature, TC activation. he Riding Modes are programmed to instantly vary the engine’s Power Mode and suspension setup, n addition to the ABS, TC and EBC levels. The available modes, ace, port and Wet, re the result of the combination of highly advanced dedicated technologies. The rider atop the 1199 Panigale can choose among three different pre-set configurations (Riding Modes) that best adapt to the riding style or conditions of the trajectory. The Riding Modes make it possible to instantly modify the power delivered by the engine (Power Mode), he activation levels of the ABS (when present), TC, QS and EBC, he graphics on the instrument panel and, n the "S" version, he suspensions setup (DES). The available configurations for the 1199 Panigale include Race, port and Wet, ith the rider left to customize the pre-configured settings of each Riding Mode as he pleases.”
