With the 1299 Panigale, Ducati breaks free from the limits of the Superbike and lets its engine run in the intoxication of power. Previously, with 1199 cc and fighter jet technology, the Superquadro atomized all the established benchmarks of the sporty twin. And if Ducati added 86 cm3 more, just to stuff it even more, with torque and horses everywhere !?! The boiler is a monster. Imprisoned in the Ducati 1299 Panigale S version, it can allow all kinds of fantasies to many trackers and lovers of high pedigree machines..
La Panigale demands total commitment from its pilot. The 1299 S goes further, letting only the knowledgeable and those willing to sell their soul to grab its handlebars come close. Taking control of a 205 hp Superbike over 14 mkg requires serious technical knowledge, composure and a certain amount of devotion. The S variation presented here is tasted with an even higher degree of efficiency. At the aperitif, a carbon front fender, full LEDS headlights and forged aluminum rims signed Marchesini. For the main course, high-end suspensions signed Ohlins semi-active. 43mm NIX 30 inverted fork, TTX36 rear shock, and steering damper.
The Ducati S versions have featured Swedish elements for many years; it is even their main specificity. The previous version of Panigale S, the 1199, already had pilot elements. Small engines controlled by the on-board unit adjusted the compression and rebound according to the driving modes chosen. On the 1299, the suspicions are much more advanced. They offer two modes: constant electronic adjustment according to the pilot’s desire or semi-active in order to respond dynamically to the profile of the road.
Ohlins’ SMART EC system will heat up the neurons and sports enthusiasts with high tension. The bike thinks for you, the sensors replace the senses. Thus, in non-active piloted suspension mode, the driving mode (Race, Sport or Wet) defines the level of intervention of the steering assistance as well as the appropriate setting for the fork, the shock absorber, and the tension of the vehicle. ‘steering damper. Each has its own level of damping and this remains until the pilot chooses another. Top for the circuit.
On the road, surface changes are much more frequent and more random. No problem, just switch to semi-active mode. Thanks to all the signals it receives, the Panigale 1299 S “sees” the road. It thus adjusts in real time the behavior of the damping while taking into account the “level of behavior”, from hard to soft, desired by the pilot..
Very nice stuff, under permanent control of the electronics; Plentiful on board. Whether it is the Panigale 1299 or the S, the list of modules is bloated. What to panic a geek. Let us draw up a brief spectrum of the forces involved:
– An ABS, the Bosch 9MP, performing its effort via Brembo M50 calipers. It also regulates braking in bends thanks to the on-board Inertial Measurement Unit.
– EBC, engine brake control on 3 levels
– DTC traction control, adjustable in 8 levels
– The DQS shifter, allowing up and down gears without touching the clutch lever
– The DWC, the wheeling control adjustable on 8 levels
– and the Riding Modes, allowing to modify the character and the level of efficiency of the Panigale. They are programmed with pre-defined levels for each assistance. The Race commands a direct response to the accelerator and a maximum level of efficiency of the electronic crutches; Sport offers less radical services, typical of road sport; the Wet drops power to 120 hp and delivers it more considerately, DTC, DWC, ABS and EBC are set for maximum safety. For the more advanced, it is possible to modify the parameters in order to personalize the co-piloting to the extreme..
– As an option, you can indulge yourself with the DDA + GPS, the data acquisition system coupled to the GPS.
Over-equipped, the Panigale also displays a striking design, which appeared with the first generation 1199. No more steel trellises but a maximum of parts anchored to the engine. A steering column held by a monocoque structure acting as airbox and minimalist frame, column whose angle at 24 ° is more retracted by 0.5 ° than on the previous version. A captivating dress in more than one way and an exacerbated sportiness. All this for only 166.5 kilos, 2.5 more than its predecessor.
Condemned to offer a maximum of piloting pleasure to those who will know / will be able to pilot it, the Ducati 1299 Panigale S has closed the doors of the competition because of its excessive displacement. Sister Panigale R is in charge of the Superbike explanations. The prestige is in no way tarnished. But fun comes at a price. Not just the one displayed before the euros; the one that encourages you to surpass yourself and offer yourself entirely to her. Don’t think you’re the strongest! His twin and his personality are more.
