The 1098 is the lightest, fastest stopping, quickest lapping Ducati. For the first time Ducati MotoGP and World Superbike technology have been combined to create a premier street bike.
The look and stance of the 1098 were designed by the combination of race track technology, track-derived components. The 1098’s striking aerodynamic shape naturally embraces its riding position, configured by our racers and test riders for optimum speed and agility. The 1098 can quickly be transformed into a real race bike.
Add the new Testastretta Evoluzione engine at the heart of the machine and you get an all-out performance Ducati Superbike that seems to be moving fast, even when at rest.
The 1098 introduces a number of ‘firsts’ for Ducati and production sport bike design. The 1098 have Brembo Monobloc brakes, data acquisition system integrated as standard equipment and use an ingenious construction method for its weight-saving single-sided swingarm. Ducati include the direct application of MotoGP technology, like the GP6-derived elliptical throttle bodies and the use of the instrumentation originally developed for the new Desmosedici GP7.
The Superbike is available in two versions: 1098, and for those who demand the ultimate in performance the 1098 S.
Power: The new Testastretta Evoluzione engine
The Evoluzione features a reduction in the angle between intake and exhaust valves allowing highly efficient, straight intake ducts and newly shaped combustion chambers that contain racing size ‘R’ valves (42mm inlet, 34mm exhaust), operated by radical ‘R’ derived camshafts. The new cylinder heads also benefit from fewer components and include magnesium covers to achieve a staggering weight-saving of over 3kg (6.5+lbs).
MotoGP-derived elliptical throttle bodies make a 30% increase in air flow over conventional throttle bodies. The new elliptical shape contributes an incredible 5hp increase to the record-breaking motor.
The Testastretta Evoluzione is the lightest Ducati Superbike engine. A total of 5kg (11.1lbs) has been saved by reducing the weight of many components, including transmission gears and the gear selector drum as well as the oil pump and primary gears.
The Testastretta Evoluzione’s is protected by a highly efficient oil cooler with increased surface area and an advanced coolant radiator assisted by lightweight, high flow electric fan assemblies.
Finally, the 1098 is complemented by an all-new exhaust system. Significantly lighter, it has been engineered with a symmetrical 2-1-2 layout that uses 52mm-57mm diameter tubing with wall thickness reduced by 30% to 0.8mm (.030in).
Chassis
The 1098 chassis and suspension achieve considerable weight saving while building-in strength and rigidity. Each and every component contributes to achieving superior road holding and stability.
Trellis frame: Developed in cooperation with Ducati Corse, the 1098 Trellis frame has been designed with a simplified tube layout featuring main section tubes increased in diameter from 28mm to 34mm, while being reduced in thickness from 2mm to 1.5mm. The result is a 14% increase in rigidity and a weight saving of 1.5kg (3.3lbs).
Single-sided swingarm: The engineers were encouraged to re-think the construction technique of the 1098’s unique single-sided swingarm. The solution was to produce the main operational components using individual aluminium castings so as to ensure strength around the pivot points, wheel hub and suspension links.
Rear suspension: The new lightweight Trellis frame and single-sided swingarm have enabled a more compact and further weight-saving rear suspension linkage system that features separate lower pick-up points for the push-rod and suspension unit. This ‘tandem’ reduces stress around the linkage pick-up area of the Trellis frame. Working together with this highly efficient linkage is a fully adjustable Showa single shock for the 1098 and an Öhlins shock for the 1098 S. 1098’s rear suspension system is able to adjust rear ride height independent of spring pre-load and other suspension settings.
Front suspension: The fully adjustable 43mm Showa forks with a special low friction Titanium Oxide-treated sliders on the 1098, and 43mm Öhlins with low friction Titanium Nitride sliders on the 1098 S, both feature radial Monobloc caliper mountings. Both front suspension solutions deliver superior feedback, that feedback is further enhanced with the use of a Sachs steering damper.
Brembo Monobloc calipers: The 1098 is the first production street bike to use Brembo’s Monobloc caliper racing technology. The M4 caliper uses four 34mm pistons and two large surface pads for maximum stopping power. Calipers are machined from a single piece of alloy, vs. the bolt-together construction of conventional calipers. The Monobloc design has much higher rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking, and therefore gives a much more precise feel at the brake lever. The 1098 also introduces big 330mm discs which, when matched to the Monobloc calipers, achieve spectacular braking power. Despite the larger diameter, their weight has not increased due to the use of racing-style narrow braking surfaces.
Super lightweight wheels: The weight saving of 250gr achieved on the front wheel substantially reduces the moment of inertia. The rear wheel redesigned for its single-sided swingarm application, has resulted a reduction of over 1kg compared with traditional Ducati single-sided swingarm fitments. Both the 1098 and 1098 S benefit from the lightweight Marchesini Y-shaped spoke wheels, but the ‘S’ goes even further by using machine finished forged-aluminium, a process normally reserved for the production of race wheels. Ducati also mounted a 190/55 rear tyres (wide!).
Aerodynamic bodywork: Carefully designed the 1098 enables the rider to blend effortlessly into the race-oriented riding position. Great care has been taken in the design of the air supply ducts so to ensure efficient air-flow through radiator and oil coolers as well as provide ample air delivery to the airbox. Moulded in lightweight Terblend®, the bodywork’s form contributing by helping reduce weight even further while allowing the rider to effortlessly ‘tuck in’ from the wind stream and turbulence to achieve maximum straight-line track speed.
Electronics and innovation, Instrumentation: Desmosedici-style digital instrumentation is taken from Ducati’s MotoGP GP7 project. This pure racing, minimalist solution by Digitek has no switches or buttons to compromise its clean lines. Instead, information additional to the default read-outs is managed by handlebar-mounted switch gear, allowing the rider to scroll through and select from various menus. The default read-out presents rpm and speed, with the former displayed across the screen in a progressive bar graph. Optionally, the rpm and speed can be displayed in numeric values. The instrument display also doubles as a control panel for the activation of the data acquisition system as well as listing lap times recorded by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch.
Data acquisition: With the purchase of the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA), which includes PC software, a USB-ready data retrieval card and instructions, owners are ready to review and analyse the performance of the 1098 and its rider, and make comparisons between various channels of information. The DDA is available from Ducati Accessories, and is supplied as standard equipment on the 1098 S.
Normally used on race bikes only, the system records numerous channels of data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm, engine temperature, distance travelled, laps and lap times. The system also automatically calculates engine rpm and vehicle speed data so as to also display gear selection as an additional channel of information. At the end of a ride or track session, up to 2mb (approximately 3.5 hours) of data can be downloaded to your PC ready to compare, analyse and get an inside view of you and your 1098’s performance.
Data can be analysed in graphic form.
DUCATI 1098 S
The new 1098 S has achieved the status of the highest performance Ducati street bike ever by reducing weight to the max and adding world-class components to an already record-breaking design.
Suspension is the fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins FG511 forks, which sport low friction Titanium Nitride fork sliders. The suspension system is completed by using a fully adjustable Öhlins 46PRC rear shock with a ride enhancing top-out spring, controlling the single-sided swingarm for outstanding drive, traction and steering precision. 
The 1098 S is mounted with Marchesini forged and machined wheels, reducing weight by 1.9kg (4lbs). Both front and rear are super lightweight and their benefit is immediately apparent. The weight saving is further enhanced with the application of a carbon fibre front fender.
The 1098 S is also supplied with the Ducati Data Analyser system as standard equipment. The DDA package supplied with the ‘S’ version enables the retrieval of data and analysis of data collected from your previous track session or road trip.

 crazybatman (14-11-2006): Elle est superbe, effectivement la soudure sur la monobras est bien dommage.
Bon à quand le moulin 1098 dans un monster, et le monobras (mais sans la soudure).

supermoto69 (15-11-2006): Ca me semble du tout bon ce matos, des Watt, un vrai gros couple, un poid en rapport avec ce que toutes les motos sportives roadsters ou "moto moto" devraient proposer, une ligne enfin moins abominable que ce que ce massacreur de Terreblanche nous a infligé durant des années... Ouf merci ! Le prix ? Ben quoi, c'est pas une Mamaya, Suizuikui, Kawasarikiki ou Hondada que je sache. S'aligner sur le tarif des Jap ? Hé hé, vous accepteriez que la belle soit fabriquée par des esclaves et affublée d'un "made in China" massacreur ?
