2017 is the occasion for the 1299 Panigale to seize the improvements of DTC and DWC, traction control and wheeling control Ducati. Dubbed EVO, these updates first appeared on the 1299 Panigale S Anniversario.
– Regarding the DTC Evo, it is optimized thanks to new algorithms, the electronics acting in a more precise way.. It allows the pilot to push the limits a little further, acts on the intake butterflies in addition to the ignition advance and the injection, and allows at level 1 more freedom to slide the rear wheel. than before.
– The DWC Evo uses the IMU inertial unit to control wheeling and optimize acceleration. With its new software, it detects more precisely the frequency and intensity of the front wheels and intervenes adequately and precisely.
With the first Panigale and its Superquadro engine, Ducati took a step forward in the excessiveness of its sports cars, and caused a spectacular generation breakthrough. Gone are the trellis frame, fighter plane electronics, colossal power, and head-turning style. By evolving in 1299, the Panigale does more than progress; it also upsets a convention established for ages. The displacement dictated by the competition, it’s over !!!
It’s a fact. This 1299 Panigale wants to give big horses, big torque, big sensation. And she doesn’t give a damn about not being able to participate in the various Superbike championships. These limiting the displacement to 1200 cm3 for twin cylinders, its block bored to 1285 cm3 closes the doors of the competition but opens the border of 200 horses. What about checkered flags? The bitch has planned everything and shamelessly proclaims it: “Let me send my watts and pump up my muscles! For the SBK, my sister Panigale R keeps a twin of 1198 cm3. It is up to her to face the regulations and the world titles; me, I’m going to smoke time with my 205 nags “. And here is the trick: a special version (R) for homologation in the championship and a production Panigale which overcomes certain limits to become an even more tactical missile..
(Editor’s note – this is not a first. Kawasaki had already done the job with its ZX-6R 636, and Ducati no longer wanting Supersport, the 848 began the first break with a championship. But a top of the Bologna sports car daring to crack the foundations of SBK, that marks a turning point).
Let’s come back to the Panigale. It focuses all the curiosity on its engine capacity. Because to make the difference with the 1199, only the fervent Ducatists will see the notable differences in style. The face is barely modified with gills redesigned with a stylus, retro double branches, a fork crown announced more protective. And that’s all ! Praised for its style, the Panigale had no reason to modify its plastic. At Ducat, we are careful with design, especially when it arouses emotions. Many have kept in the way the audacity of the 999/749…
We remain attentive and admiring the technique of the chassis, with its hull combining the functions of airbox and load-bearing structure, the absence of trellis, the large-section single-sided swingarm, the exceptional kinematics of the shock absorber. rear, the front axle to open the bends to you. The only modification reported with the increase in the surname, the angle of the steering column has fallen by half a degree (24.5 ° -> 24 °) on the 1299 Panigale. Enough to bring it even more liveliness to throw itself into the curves. And the swingarm pivot lowered by 4 mm, to optimize traction.
And we will get there quickly in these curves. Because let’s stop turning around and see what has in the bag this big twin of 1285 cm. The Superquadro had a lot of answers on the 1199, but had a slightly hollow character. A real racing engine, unleashed at will in high revs. More cubing will make it more available. With the bore increasing by 4 mm, the already full cup overflows: pistons of 116 mm! Wiggling over an unchanged 60.8 mm stroke. A small increase in the compression ratio to explode everything well. And we send heavy: 205 horses at 10,500 rpm, and 14.7 mkg at 8,750 rpm. Frightening !!! The 1299 spits 10 horsepower and 1.2 mkg more than the 1199 at speeds below 250 rpm. The curves are filling in, the straight lines are narrowing and the bike will atomize your arms like the scallop. Ducati goes further and further to the extreme. There will no longer be any need to wait for the 3rd part of the tachometer for twin whip; here, the pot begins to boil at half speed. The 1299 sends about ten more horsepower than the 1199 over the entire rev range, and nearly 1.5 mkg of difference. At 6250 rpm, the pilot already has 100 horsepower under his belt. 2000 very later, they are almost 170 … To compare quickly (ignoring the behavior and the engine architecture), the block of the S 1000 RR distributes this level of power around 10,000 rpm. Inflated the Italian twin?!? More than it can overflow !
In Italy, we have known how to ride a cycle for a long time. Ducati has thus refined the setting around the Superquadro. We previously mentioned the column angle closed, the single-sided arm fixed lower, we are also talking about the chase going from 96 to 100 mm … Small figures, of course, but which can result in a noticeable difference on the runway, on the runway. moment to throw from one angle to another.
When the inverted Marzocchi 50mm fork takes on heavy braking, tortured by Brembo monobloc M50 calipers. 330mm discs relieve speed, stand up to martyrdom, yearn for the next turn … they don’t even think about their safety mate, the Bosch 9MP ABS.
However, this one is more effective than before. It benefits from an additional electronic system, the IMU. What’s this ? It’s used for ? Behind this new acronym officiates an Inertial Measurement Unit. Basically, it determines the position of the motorcycle in a 3-dimensional space and analyzes its reactions in this space. By measuring the acceleration on 3 axes and by calculating the roll and pitch of the gear, the IMU improves the capacities of the ABS by allowing it to modulate its action in the curves, and refines the intervention of the wheeling control..
The 1299 inaugurates an improved shifter from the manufacturer, allowing both upshifting and downshifting without the clutch. These elements complete the rich endowment in silicon taken from the 1199, of which we will make a brief listing: ABS 9.1 MP anti-lock brakes, DTC traction control, EBC engine brake adjustment, DWC anti-wheeling, Driving modes (Race, Sport, or Wet), TFT digital screen with a display that can change depending on the mode chosen. On the 1299, it now displays the angle taken by the motorcycle in real time.
By digging into the options stand, you can crack a DDA + GPS, the in-house telemetry system. After your session, it’s up to you to debrief your trajectories and the data collected by the on-board electronics. In this turn, were you knocked out? The 1299 won’t lie !
Pure sporty? Pure pistarde? Full circuit especially. As can be seen from, among so many other subtleties and advantages of this machine, the automatic calibration of the assistance when changing tires or the final reduction gear. Or these small triggers appeared between the throttle grip and the commodo, allowing to manage with a simple push or index the DTC Evo, the EBC and the DWC Evo.
Monstrous power, packed with sensors and piloting aids to make a factory machine growl, singular innovation in envy with its 100% muscle chassis, the 1299 has no equal to unleash a storm of mechanical fury. It is paying dearly for it, perpetuating a spirit of excellence and high standards that are typical of Ducati. Its arguments strike or frighten, its temptation bewitches and jealous, its technology oscillates between the runway and science fiction. More than ever a passionate tool, where performance writes the laws.
