Overview[edit | edit source]
Ducati Panigale 959 Corse
The 959 Panigale Corse is the superlative sports version of the legendary Italian twin cylinder. Thanks to suspensions by Öhlins, type-approved Ducati Performance silencers in titanium by Akrapovič, a lithium-ion battery and a dedicated color scheme inspired by the colors of the MotoGP, the 959 Panigale Corse is ready to race. The 955 cm3 Superquadro engine is Euro 4 type-approved and has a maximum power of 150 hp at 10,500 rpm. The maximum torque is 102 Nm at 9,000 rpm. Such characteristics enable high performance on the track and enjoyable on-road riding, without having to compromise on long maintenance intervals. The valve clearance control is in fact every 24,000 km. The chassis of the 959 Panigale Corse is based on a compact monocoque structure, in die-cast aluminum for added resistance with the Superquadro engine incorporated as a structural element. Attached directly to the cylinder heads, it houses two aluminum bushes to the front which in turn house the steering head bearings. In addition to working as a frame, the monocoque also acts as an air-box. It contains, in fact, the air filter as well as the throttle bodies and the fuel circuit, complete with injectors and its sealed off by the bottom of the aluminum fuel tank.
This exclusive version of the 959 Panigale is equipped with
high-quality Öhlins suspensions. It has a multi-adjustable titanium-nitride
treated Öhlins NIX30 fork with a diameter of 43 mm, and a multi-adjustable
Öhlins TTX36 shock-absorber. The suspension fittings are completed by an
adjustable steering damper, also by Öhlins.
The 959 Panigale Corse has a weight (kerb bike with fluids, battery and fuel tank 90% full) of only 197.5 kg, 2.5 kg less than the 959 Panigale, thanks to the lithium-ion battery and titanium silencer. The 959 Panigale Corse is fitted with an electronics package which includes ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Quick Shift (DQS), Engine Brake Control (EBC) and Ride-by-Wire (RbW). Thanks to the Ducati Riding Mode technology, these systems can be combined differently to give the bike three different personalities. The 3 Riding Modes available to the 959 Panigale Corse are Race, Sport and Wet. Such features and characteristics confirm once again how the 959 Panigale Corse embodies absolute excellence through the advanced technologies used in its creation.
