This Ducati doesn’t just replace the 996 SPS. It is the shadow of the Superbike machine that a glance is enough to revive. Between the two machines, few and many differences at the same time. The equipment is always sumptuous, with Ohlins elements everywhere (fork, rear shock absorber and the steering one), a new and surprising Brembo braking, and carbon galore. Fairing, exhaust, single-arm, air box, mudguard (and so on) are made of this noble material. What we will remember the most is the change to 998 cm3 of the engine and its new ratings. The Bologna engineers increased the bore and reduced the stroke of the pistons. Bigger and more closely placed valves, re-designed pipes and combustion chambers, a new electronic control unit … the long list of mods prove that the engine manufacturers have not been idle. Advertised as more reliable, the mill gains nearly 10% more power. And the whole bike has lost no less than 7 kilos since the SPS.
To recognize this 996 R, only a trained eye will notice the disappearance of the side gills. Approaching it is already emotionally invigorating – imagine the grip. You do not get on a motorcycle but a jewel crowned with victories. From the Superbike to the 996 R, there is little more than the indicators and the plate to differentiate them. This is all the magic of Ducati: offering the spirit and taste of competition to its production machines. Once embedded in the machine, expect great moments, physical and emotional. Discomfort reigns, the position is trying … Quick, elbow grease. On the attack, (which is what it was born for), it must be entered with force in the turn. We can then take full advantage of its very precise and very efficient front axle. The chassis follows without moving an eyelash from its trajectory.
A good spin of the gas handle and the twin gives unrestrained. After 6,000 trs, it moves into beautiful vocalizations. The machine is catapulted with an overpowering effort that only the breaker comes to calm; and we reach it quickly !
To calm this ardor, the Brembo are remarkable in power but above all, it is no longer necessary to have hydraulic cylinders in place of the right hand. Feeling, efficiency, tact … Purists can be reassured: you always need a good grip for the clutch.
By becoming R, the 996 evolves and wins on all fronts. It remains an unreasonable, uncomfortable, rigorous and demanding machine, available in only 350 copies. Passion and pleasure sweep it all away. She’s one of the few machines that can make men demented.
