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 transmi ...

 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 ?
