== Overview ==
Ducati 1299
Panigale













































Born to race, the new Panigale R brings a thrill to the track. 205 hp react
instantly to a twist of the throttle thanks to ultralight engine components.
Track-optimized geometry and racing suspension ensure responsive racetrack
behaviour. Electronics are tuned to deliver maximum performance. A lithium-ion
battery and a titanium Ducati Performance by Akrapovic exhaust will take you and
357 lbs of racing technology straight to the checkered flag.
The Panigale R has one goal - simply to dominate the track. Every feature is
oriented in that direction; no compromises are made. For dedicated enthusiasts
who seek the purest experience on track, the Panigale R delivers a shot of
racing adrenaline directly to the heart.
Unequalled beauty
The beauty of speed translated into design. Pure racing spirit is channelled
to the rider with a grasp of the 1299 Panigale's handlebars. Large, aggressive
air intakes feed the new Superquadro engine and signal no holds-barred
competition.
The 1299 Panigale and Panigale R feature an advanced headlight with LED
positioning lights, while the 1299 Panigale S uses a full LED headlight for the
ultimate statement of technical cool. In the rear all models use a full LED
taillight which accents the all-new split tail, while a perfectly integrated
under-belly exhaust keeps the lines clean and pure. An award-winning integration
of engineering and design, the Panigale gets the adrenaline flowing from the
first glance.Power, agility, and sophistication, wrapped in the very best
Italian style.


Features
Precious elements
The clutch cover, cylinder head covers, and oil pan are all cast in a
golden-color magnesium alloy to ensure the engine's strength with the absolute
lowest possible weight.
During development of the first Superquadro engine, Ducati engineers took
their design freedom to the limit by increasing the distance between centres
of the six-speed gearbox shafts and allowing the use of gears with an
increased diameter and superior strength for the transmission of power. The
oil bath clutch, similar in design to that used on other Ducati models, is a
progressive system which allows the load on its plates to be increased
without increasing the effort required by the rider to pull the lever and
disengage the clutch. This optimally satisfies the need for a high torque
transmission which still provides optimum usability for the rider. In sport
riding conditions with abrupt downshifting heavy engine braking, the same
mechanism reduces the pressure on clutch plates and allows them to slip as
in a racing system, preventing a loss of stability in the rear end and
offering excellent modulability during hard braking into corners.
Crankcase
The crankcases, produced through a vacuum casting technology called Vacural®,
ensure high strength at low weight along with a uniform wall thickness, and
are designed to incorporate water jackets around the cylinder barrels. The
engine uses wet barrels coated in Nicasil, which are inserted into the holes
of the engine block's housing during the initial stages of assembly. This
design allows the head to be fastened directly onto the crankcase, combining
the need for rigidity of the engine's structure with a significant advantage
in terms of compactness. Due to their thin structure, the cylinder barrels
efficiently transfer heat to the coolant running along their walls. In
addition to these barrels, the Superquadro's crankcase stands out for the
use of plain main bearings, previously utilised on the Ducati Desmosedici RR
engine. These bearings allow the use of large-diameter crankshaft journals,
which maximize rigidity and mechanical strength to optimise the internal
rotating structure to the extreme power of the Superquadro.

Fully Ride-by-Wire
The opening and closing of throttle butterflies on the Superquadro is
controlled by a fully electronic Ride-by-Wire system. The absence of a
mechanical connection between the twistgrip and the throttle bodies allows
the engine ECU to regulate power delivery by directly adjusting the
throttle; Ride-by-Wire makes it possible to have different power and
delivery based on the selected Riding Mode, to alter the level of engine
back-torque (EBC), and to control any slipping of the rear wheel (DTC).


Lubrication
The journals of the main bearings are lubricated by pressurised oil admitted
through ducts inside the engine block. This serves to assure the efficient
lubrication of the new crankshaft, followed by a rapid recovery of the oil
thanks to a lobe pump that places the connecting rod compartment under vacuum,
similar to the engines used in MotoGP. This pump is driven by gears built in a
special high-strength techno-polymer and maintains the crankcase area below the
pistons in controlled conditions of constant vacuum, thereby reducing resistance
during the pistons' downstroke as well as facilitating oil flow for rapid
recovery.
Essential Desmo
To control the large valves with the precise and efficient Desmodromic
system, engineers chose a mixed gear and chain drive system. This chain
drive accurately transmits the motion between crankshaft and camshaft, and
thanks also to an automatic tensioning adjustment, offers excellent
reliability with low routine maintenance costs.
Lightweight racing engine
The Panigale R features an incredible 1198cc Superquadro engine which
adopts the most advanced racing-derived features available. A
precision-balanced lightweight crankshaft, two-ring Superbike pistons,
titanium valves and connecting rods, and extreme camshaft profiles result in
a 205 hp output with immediate, aggressive power delivery. Homologated for
use as Ducati's platform in World Superbike, the Panigale R's Superquadro is
the closest thing available to a dedicated race engine - but incredibly,
offers the same generous warranty and long maintenance intervals as the rest
of the bike.
Decompressor
At the end of the exhaust camshaft of each cylinder head is a centrifugal
decompressor. On start-up, this device allows the profile of the cam opening
lobe to be modified, slightly lifting a valve so that part of the combustion
charge can escape the chamber during the engine's compression phase. Once
the engine fires, the increase in rpm and associated centrifugal force
modify the decompressor, cancelling the valve lift effect to bring the
engine to normal operating conditions. By temporarily reducing the
compression effect of the piston during start-up, a much smaller and lighter
starter motor and battery can be used, contributing significantly to the
extreme light weight of the overall engine and motorcycle. This ingenious
system further underlines the synergistic strength achieved by engineers and
designers in the uncompromising creation of the Superquadro.
Monocoque Technology
The Panigale's Monoscocca chassis forms its structural backbone - compact,
rigid, lightweight, and multi-functional. Cast in aluminum, it attaches at
its rear directly to the heads of the Superquadro engine and contains the
steering head and bearings at its front. In addition to performing the
function of a traditional frame, the Monoscocca also serves as the airbox
and in this way significantly contributes to lowering the overall weight of
the motorcycle. Housed inside it are the air filter, throttle bodies and
fuel circuit complete with injectors, making it truly unique and a
revolutionary advancement to the world of traditional motorcycle
construction.


Tyres
All Panigales benefit from Pirelli's Diablo Supercorsa SP tires, the road
version of the tire used in the Superstock 1000 World Championship: 120/70 ZR17
at front and 200/55 x ZR17 at rear, which provide the contact patch necessary to
effectively transmit the Superquadro's power to the ground. Designed to maintain
a precise line in straights and on curves, the rear 200/55 x ZR17 tire maximises
the area of contact and corner speed by combining 200 mm width with a high
profile. The tires have structures and compounds deriving directly from
Pirelli's experience in the Superbike World Championship, and feature casings
specially studied to guarantee rigidity in extreme braking and shoulders that
maximize the contact patch. In addition, a special double compound that uses the
most advanced polymers facilitates the rapid heating of the tires together with
a constant grip.
Track-focused geometry
The Panigale R features a modified geometry that enables it to find the
best possible setup for pushing the limits of racing performance. A 24°
steering angle gives it incredible agility, while a 5mm longer wheelbase
compared to the 1299 Panigale lends it additional stability at maximum
speed. Additionally, it gives riders a further degree of freedom in the
set-up choice by offering an adjustable swingarm pivot. This allows the rear
geometry to be modified to balance rear dive under acceleration and maximum
stability, giving maximum flexibility to different track conditions and
rider preferences. Four different levels of swingarm pivot are available:
starting from a "baseline" of level 0, the pivot can
Forged wheels
The 1299 Panigale S and Panigale R feature Marchesini tri-W spoke forged
aluminum wheels, which have an eye-catching racing style and are strong and
incredibly lightweight.
Ergonomics
The Panigale's ergonomic dimensions assure a perfect integration between
rider and motorcycle. The seat and handlebar positions are optimized to
provide total control and comfort during sport and track riding, while the
switchgear and dash are further designed to be intuitive, informative, and a
pleasure to use. Grippy, machined-from-billet aluminum footpegs and a
carefully-shaped seat with racing cover allow the rider to perfectly
integrate with the Panigale, and focus only on the extraordinary sensations
of the ride.
Carbon Parts
Weight is the enemy of performance, so the race-bred Panigale R features
components designed to save precious grams. Its front and rear mudguards,
ignition and cockpit surround pieces, exhaust-tube heatshield, exhaust caps,
and chain, shock, and heel guards are all crafted from the highest-grade
carbon fibre, for ultra-lightweight strength. Enhancing the Panigale R's
performance in pursuit of the fastest time on track, they also reflect a
style that clearly announces its competition spirit.
DDA+ GPS ready
The DDA+ GPS is the latest generation of the Ducati Data Analyzer, which
integrates a GPS signal to create a "virtual finish line". The system
automatically detects, without any intervention by the rider, the conclusion
of the lap and stops the chronometric time. Integration with the GPS signal
also provides visualisation on the circuit map of the trajectories ridden
and the main parameters of the vehicle: throttle opening, speed, rpm, gear
engaged, engine temperature, DTC activation, and lean angle.
The 1299 Panigale and 1299 Panigale S are pre-configured to accept the DDA+
GPS, while the Panigale R includes the system as standard.

Full TFT instrument panel
The instrument panel on the 1299 Panigale uses a full TFT display. The
color display's configuration is variable and automatically adapts to
variations in environmental light and to the selected Riding Mode. In the
"Road" and "Wet" Riding Modes, speed takes centre stage and is displayed in
large numbers in the middle of the display, whereas the two boxes containing
"supplementary information" underneath provide data on total mileage and
engine coolant temperature. In the "Race" Riding Mode, the display layout is
automatically reconfigured, shifting the display of the vehicle's speed in
the lower information box at left and making room for the last lap time,
centrally displayed in large numbers
. For the first time on a Ducati motorcycle, the display features a "lean
angle visualization," allowing the rider to see their achieved lean angle
displayed on the dash in real-time.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
First implemented on the incredible Ducati 1199 Superleggera, Ducati
Wheelie Control (DWC) recognizes front-wheel lift and responds according to
one of 8 rider-selectable levels, allowing the throttle to be maintained
open without fear of the wheelie getting out of control. This allows for
maximum possible acceleration, ensuring a formidable drive out of any
corner.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) 9.1 MP
The Bosch 9.1 MP ABS equips the 1299 Panigale/S and Panigale R as standard,
and is a latest-generation system that performs combined braking with
control rear wheel lift to guarantee the shortest braking distances and
greatest stability in any conditions. Further, the system interfaces with
the Bosch Intertial Control platform, allowing maximum braking even while
the motorcycle is leaned over.
Bosch Inertial Platform
The 1299/S Panigale and Panigale R use the Bosch Inertial Platform, which
is centered around an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The IMU constantly
monitors the motorcycle's lean angle and fore/aft pitch, interfacing with
the ABS, DWC, and on the 1299 Panigale S, the Ohlins Smart EC suspension -
ensuring that these systems operate at maximum effectiveness regardless of
the motorcycle's position. Lithium-ion battery
The Panigale R uses the lightest and most advanced battery technology
available, Lithium-ion. This allows it to save over 2 kg compared to a normal
battery.
Ohlins mechanical suspension
True to the Panigale R's racing focus, it features competition oriented
Ohlins suspension including an NIX30 fork, TTX36 shock, and steering damper,
all fully manually adjustable. This system provides competition-level
damping and vehicle control, while being lighter than an electronic system -
contributing towards the Panigale R's incredible weight advantage over the
competition.
Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS)
The Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) is a race-derived electronic system
that manages shifting of the gearbox in both up and down directions. It
allows upshifts to be made under full acceleration without using the clutch,
which gains precious fractions of a second that would otherwise be wasted in
closing the throttle. It also allows clutchless downshifts, as the system
performs a perfectly-timed auto-blip when the foot lever is depressed,
engaging the gears smoothly and allowing the rider to concentrate only on
braking and corner entry.
Engine Braking Control (EBC)
The engine braking control (EBC) system works in combination with the
slipper clutch to prevent and manage any locking of the rear wheel during
aggressive downshifting. The rider can select the level of engine braking
felt from one of 3 levels, allowing them to perfectly customize the
motorcycle's feeling during deceleration and turn entry.
Homologated Akrapovic titanium exhaust

A homologated Akrapovic exhaust, with silencers and tubes fully in titanium,
is as beautiful as it is functional. Allowing the Panigale R's engine
maximum breathing and maximum power, this exhaust is impeccably built and
weighs only a fraction of what a comparable steel exhaust does
Auxiliary handlebar buttons
The 1299 Panigale S and Panigale R feature handlebar-mounted auxiliary
control buttons, which allow the rider on-the-fly adjustment of a selected
parameter among DTC, DWC, or EBC. Using these the rider can instantly
fine-tune the motorcycle to changing track, road, weather, or tire
conditions without slowing down.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
Ducati Traction Control (DTC) is an advanced system that monitors and
maintains control over slipping of the rear tire and operates on the basis
of eight different levels of intervention, each of which has been programmed
to respond to a different tolerance to rear slipping. Each Riding Mode is
assigned a preset level of activation, which can then be modified according
to the riders' desire.
Level 8 corresponds to an activation of the system with the slightest
slipping, while Level 1, best used by expert riders and professionals, has a
higher tolerance and thus allows a much higher amount of slip before
intervening.
LED lighting
Another detail that gives the Panigale its total racing look is the twin
headlamp at front designed to be an integral part of the front air scoops,
with integrated LED positioning lights. The double LED lights at rear
harmoniously wrap around the air vents in the seat-tail assembly and, when
turned on, create an alluring effect of signalling lights enhanced by stop
lights. LED technology is also been used for the front and rear turn
indicators as well as the number plate light.
