The Ducati 1299 Panigale is a 1,285 cc (78.4 cu in) Ducati sport bike unveiled at the 2014 Milan Motorcycle Show and produced since 2015 as a successor of the 1,198 cc (73.1 cu in) 1199. The motorcycle is named after the small manufacturing town of Borgo Panigale.[4]
The 1299 wheelbase remains the same at 1437 mm. The base version retains front forks by Marzocchi and Sachs shock absorber; The S variant has new semi-active Öhlins Smart EC suspension that can be switched between different driving modes to match road conditions.
The entire range is now equipped with new generation of electronics, including a new IMU, racing ABS and anti-wheelie. Switchable riding modes and traction controls, similar to the old version, have been ported over onto the new platform.
Ducati Panigale R
Due to World SuperBike engine displacement regulations, the engine in the R variant of 1299 Panigale retains the old 1,198 cc displacement, with the addition of a tungsten-balanced crankshaft, titanium valves and con-rods, and two-ring pistons. Power figures for the R are same as other 1299 models with 150.8 kW (205 hp) @ 11,500 rpm, torque is down 6.2 lb-ft to 100.5 lb-ft (136.2 Nm) @ 10,250 rpm.[5]
The Panigale R comes equipped with passive Öhlins suspension, a difference to the old R spec which used to be equipped with an active setup (DES). Compared to the other variants, wheelbase is increased to 1442 mm (56.77) thanks to new steering geometry. It also comes equipped with an Termigoni titanium exhaust, and Ducati's data acquisition system. Weight is 357 lb (162 kg) dry or 406 pounds wet.[5]
