Ducati 1299 Superleggera

With the #1299superleggera, #ducati takes the world of road Supersport bikes to levels that were unheard of until now: the Superleggera is the first ever factory bike to be equipped with a carbon fibre frame, swingarm, subframe and wheels. The #1299superleggera is a gem of engineering, technology and performance. No motorcycle manufacturer has ever produced a factory bike quite like it. With the #1299superleggera, #ducati has achieved off-the-scale style, sophistication and performance. Frame and swingarm, made entirely of carbon fibre just like the high-spec wheels, are unique to the #1299superleggera. The fairing - also made of carbon fibre - is another key element: but only one of many in an astounding bike that could only ever have been built by #ducati - a manufacturer with #racing DNA. And underneath that carbon fibre skin lies the highest-performing version of the Superquadro. Thanks to its 215 hp, the desmodromic engine on the #1299superleggera is the most powerful factory twin-cylinder ever built; it incorporates the ultimate levels of #ducati technology. What makes the #1299superleggera even more exclusive is the new electronics package which uses a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (6D IMU) to manage the incomparable array of electronic controls. This system has allowed us to improve the #ducati Traction Control EVO (DTC EVO) presented on the 1299 Panigale S Anniversario thanks to the introduction of #ducati Slide Control (DSC), which ensures even higher out-of-the-corner performance. The #1299superleggera is also the first ever #ducati Superbike to be equipped with #ducati Power Launch (DPL) and also features the Engine Brake Control (EBC) seen on previous versions. Keeping the explosive performance of the #1299superleggera under control is also a newly calibrated Bosch Cornering ABS system that ensures matchless braking in complete safety. The #1299superleggera has the word 'exclusive' written all over it, even when it comes to the number being made: only 500 such bikes are to be built - and they're already sold out! Together with the motorcycle, purchasers get a track kit which includes a complete Akrapovič titanium #racing exhaust, a #racing screen, plate holder removal kit, kickstand removal kit, machined-from-solid mirror replacement plugs, front and rear paddock stands and a bike cover.
