DUCATI 899 PANIGALE


Good Looks And Serious Performance


A unique breed of racing machine, the 899 Panigale is no less than an astonishing mix of design, power and advanced Ducati Superbike technology. Bursting with energy and racetrack character thanks to the Superquadro engine, it is also well adapted for everyday use on the road. Premium suspension, light weight, plus a strong and compact Monoscocca frame guarantee exceptional handling in all circumstances.The 899 Panigale is made to move, the way you want, in unmistakable style.

Masterpiece Of Power


At the heart of the 899 Panigale a formidable engine breathes exhilarating
power into every part of the motorcycle. Engineered as a structural element, the 898cc Superquadro was born on the track and built to race. Lightweight, but with the strength to deliver 148 hp and astonishing torque, the Superquadro combines Desmodromic performance with proven reliability. Sophisticated electronics, ride by- wire technology and customizable Riding Modes turn raw power into real riding pleasure.

Confidence From Within


Skilfully conceived as a single, compact unit, the Monoscocca aluminium frame is architecturally unique. Weight is kept to a bare minimum thanks to carefully selected materials and the integrated design; this also favours mass centralisation for superb stability and agility around the  tightest of corners. A fully adjustable BPF Showa fork and Sachs shock give you all the confidence you would want from such a powerful Supermid on the most demanding track or road.

A Feel For Performance


Treated to the most advanced electronics and dynamic componentry, the 899
Panigale will turn every moment into a burst of adrenaline. On and off-track performance  is perfected by cutting-edge systems such as Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Quick Shift for ultra-responsive gear changes, and Engine Braking Control. The long, double sided,aluminium swingarm ensures marvellous traction and acceleration, and the Brembo Monobloc brakes with 3-level ABS as a standard feature make sure you stop where and when you need to.

Designed To Win


So sleek, the stunning, fast-forward design of the 899 Panigale penetrates the mind as much as its aerodynamics carve their way through the air. A monument of precision engineering using premium solutions to cut away the superfluous and hone in on the motorcycle’s only vocation: cross the finishing line in front. An icon of speed,the essential design is accentuated by the dynamic geometry of the frame and these symmetry of individual features such as the twin headlamps with LED technology or the flying tailpiece.

Ride For Pleasure


Track or street, the 899 Panigale will never let you down wherever you take it. Built to move, carefully conceived, rider friendly features combine with ready-to-go performance to ensure the best of both worlds: comfort and competition. Clear and compact, the dashboard display is an LCD showing speed at its centre and a bar graph tachometer above.
