Ducati 1299 Superleggera 2017: latest info, photos and video

Victim a month ago of a leak – news on the web, no oil in the garage! -, the "super light" version of the 1299 Panigale currently sits at the center of the Ducati stand at the Eicma. The jewel of Bologna takes advantage of "its" living room to reveal its last secrets…

Maximum "super" power, "super" mini weight, "super" noble materials, "super" high-end equipment, "super" sophisticated electronics and "super" new prices: the 1299 Superleggera is a phenomenal condensed of parts, of technology , know-how … and "passion", of course !

Unveiled in preview on a (still online and very complete!) To a few customers selected on the shutter portfolio – from the owners of Desmosedici, 1199 Superleggera, Panigale R and other exclusive Ducati models -, the new "super" Superbike from Bologna …

A month ago, the Italians designated this bike as their "1408 project", in reference to its original date (August 2014) and not to its displacement: the Superquadro cube still 1285 cc. But who knows, due to ever more drastic emission standards, if the twin cylinder will not soon reach 1408 cc in order to continue to beat its power records. ?!

In terms of power, in fact, the 1299 Superleggera beats its predecessors: the technical sheet delivered to the Ducati stand at the Eicma announces 215 horsepower, or 10 more than the original and 12.5 hp more than the. On the weight side, however, the new Ducati shows a surplus of one kilogram compared to the "super light" 1199 (156 kg dry and 167 kg all full).

The use of high-dose carbon (monocoque frame, swingarm, rear loop, fairing and rims!) Did not make it possible to counterbalance the increase in displacement and the appearance of a more imposing double exhaust. Electronic question on the other hand, the 1299 Superleggera progresses since it benefits from the last evolution of the traction control present on the (top) model "Anniversaro". It even innovates with an unprecedented departure assistance system … !

Commercially also the bike is very well started: "the 500 copies are almost all sold", assure MNC the French managers of the brand, despite a price that explodes that of the previous Superleggera: 80,000 €, an increase of + 23% … correlated with the increase in the salary of the targeted clients? Mystery and ball of Pirelli Supercorsa SP !
