Description
I am the second owner of this bike. It is an amazing and beautiful work of art! I will be traveling overseas for work on a regular basis, o I will not have an opportunity to ride as much as I would like. I want to have someone else be able to experience what I have riding it, nstead of having it sit in my living room.
The key differences between the Evo and it's 848 predecessor are; Steering damper as standard, BHP increase to 140 BHP and Monoblock brembo calipers as off the 1198.
For 2013 we see the stunning new Ducati 848 Evo Corse Special Edition that carries the livery of the Corse 1199 Race bike. Over and above its corse paint scheme it boasts traction control, nd electronic quickshifter, n Ohlins rear shock absorber and the 330 mm front discs off the "big" superbike along with the "Race" aluminium fuel tank.
848 EVO’s Testastretta EngineThe “EVO” treatment applied to the 848 introduces a 6hp power boost to 140hp and a torque increase to 10kgm that results in a razor-sharp and easy-to-use power delivery. The 94mm x 61.2mm bore and stroke 848EVO engine is a fitting reward to Ducati’s ingenuity and a clear result of the continual attention to detail and development of their twin-cylinder technology.Power and Torque CurvesThe new 848EVO is powered by a liquid cooled, -Twin, esmodromic engine that produces 140hp (103kW) @ 10,500 rpm and a high-accelerating 72.3lb-ft (10kgm) of torque @ 9,750 rpm. The Testastretta delivers a thrilling torque output at low-medium revs and an exciting power delivery at high rpm.Lightweight ClutchThe 848EVO engine include a sophisticated wet clutch that weighs 1kg (2.2lbs) less than its dry counterpart, as a much longer service life, mproved clutch feel and quieter operation.Exhaust SystemThe super-efficient power unit exhausts through a lightweight 2-1-2 system equipped with a catalytic converter and 2 lambda probes to conform to Euro3 regulations.Compression RatioA brand new piston crown and combustion chamber shape improve burn efficiency and increase the compression ratio to a power-enhancing 13.2:1Elliptical Throttle BodiesThe 848EVO engine is fed by MotoGP-derived elliptical large section throttle bodies which are now increased from an equivalent diameter of 56mm to 60 mm. Representing a 30% increase in air flow over conventional throttle bodies, he elliptical shape contributes to a considerable power increase.CamshaftsNew camshafts provide 13mm of valve-lift compared with 11.5mm and an inlet duration increase from 253° to 257° to provide enhanced performanceMagnesium Alloy CoversAttention to weight reduction is further underlined with the cam covers cast in magnesium alloy.
