Ducati 1299R Panigale Final Edition
This is the celebration of the twin cylinder Ducati Superbike legacy. We combined the most advanced aluminium monocoque chassis with our most powerful Superquadro engine to create the Panigale 1299 R Final Edition. For passionate riders ready to own the strongest part of Ducati's V-twin history, complete with celebratory livery and numbered billet top yoke. Numbered top triple clamp
Progressively numbered, but not limited
in quantity, the 1299 Panigale R Final Edition is a fully
street legal, Euro 4 homologated motorcycle that is a
perfect mix of a super-powerful engine and a racing-honed
chassis
Extreme bore/stroke ratio
The Superquadro engine's bore/stroke
ratio of 1.91:1 sets an extreme example of the
power-maximizing ""oversquare"" architecture used in the
world's most advanced racing engines. A short-stroke
crankshaft and enormous pistons combined with large
Desmodromically-actuated valves allow the Superquadro to
breathe freely at high rpm, while a 1285cc combustion
chamber ensures the ample torque that has made so many
enthusiasts fall in love with Ducati's signature L-twin
power.
High tech intake
The Superquadro engine uses large intake
valves fed by advanced oval-section throttle bodies, with
different height inlet ducts for front and rear cylinder,
which emphasize high air flow for maximum power production.
Independently controlled by the fully Ride-by-Wire system,
the throttle bodies are each fitted with 2 fuel injectors:
the first is set below the body and operates in lower
rpm/load conditions, while the second is fitted above the
throttle body and is called into action when it's time for
the Superquadro to unleash the full scope of its power and
torque.
Power and tecnology
The Superquadro engine in the Final
Edition is based on the 1299 Superleggera engine and has a
maximum power output of 209 hp at 11,000 rpm and maximum
torque of 142.0 Nm (104.7 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm. The engine is
fully street legal with Euro 4 homologation and employs a
lightened crankshaft with tungsten counterweights and a
larger crank pin than on the standard 1299 Panigale. The
conrods and valves are made of lightweight titanium, the
cylinder liners are steel and the 2 segments pistons have a
diameter of 116 mm.
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.
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.
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).
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
maximise rigidity and mechanical strength to optimise the
internal rotating structure to the extreme power of the
Superquadro.
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 aluminium 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.
Brakes
The 1299 Panigale R Final Edition
features the finest brakes available - Brembo's M50
Monoblock callipers. Sporting an extremely compact
design and machined out of a single alloy block, the M50
callipers offer the ultimate in rigidity and deformation
resistance during extreme braking.
Tyres
All large-displacement Panigales
benefit from Pirelli's Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres,
the road version of the tyre 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 tyre maximises the area of
contact and corner speed by combining 200 mm width
with a high profile. The tyres 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
maximise the contact patch. In addition, a special
double compound that uses the most advanced polymers
facilitates the rapid heating of the tyres together
with a constant grip.
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.
Monocoque Technology
The 1299 Panigale R Final Edition's monocoque
chassis forms its structural backbone - compact, rigid,
lightweight, and multi-functional. Cast in aluminium, 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 monocoque 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.
Standard accessories
Included are a racing windshield, billet
aluminium mirror block-off plugs, and a license plate holder
plug, for track sessions in which the bike's mirrors and
plate holder are removed.
Optimized geometry
The 1299 Panigale R Final Edition
benefits from the experience of Ducati Corse, adopting
geometry which uses a 24° steering head angle along with
a low swingarm pivot point. This enhances the bike's
agility, and provides excellent rear traction in a wide
variety of conditions.
Total control
Thanks to Ducati's Riding Modes,
riders can instantly vary key characteristics of the
1299 Panigale R Final Edition to suit different
conditions or preferences - engine power and delivery,
traction control, wheelie control, ABS, engine braking,
and suspension behaviour. Three pre-set configurations,
Race, Sport, and Wet, are available to be selected by
using buttons mounted on the handlebar. But these are
only a starting point, as each configuration's
individual control parameters can be set to the specific
level desired by the rider. With three custom setups
ready at the push of a button, the 1299 Panigale R Final
Edition becomes a perfectly tailored partner to the
rider's unrelenting pursuit of speed.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) 9.1 MP
The Bosch 9.1 MP ABS equips the 1299
Panigale R Final Edition 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.
Full TFT instrument panel
The instrument panel on the
1299 Panigale uses a full TFT display. The
colour 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.
Lithium-ion battery
The 1299 Panigale R Final
Edition uses the lightest and most advanced
battery technology available, Lithium-ion. This
allows it to save over 2 kg compared to a normal
battery.
DDA+ GPS
The DDA+ GPS (Ducati Data Analyzer) is
fitted as standard amd 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.
Carbon Parts
The 1299 Panigale R Final Edition
includes several components in the highest quality carbon
fibre - front and rear mudguards, heel guards, and a shock
cover - to accentuate its high-technology and premium
nature. Light and stiff, carbon fibre saves precious grams
of weight compared to an equivalent part in plastic,
enhancing the Panigale 1299 Panigale R Final Edition's
performance in pursuit of the fastest time on track.
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 customise the motorcycle's feeling during
deceleration and turn entry.
Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC EVO)
DWC EVO uses information on the 1299's
pitch from the
Bosch IMU to control front wheel lift and allow maximum acceleration in safety. Using entirely new software, DWC EVO more accurately detects the occurrence and severity of wheelies and intervenes to control them with a high degree of robustness and precision. Ducati Traction Control EVO (DTC EVO)
Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO is an
advanced system that uses information from the Bosch IMU to
monitor and maintain control over slipping of the rear tyre.
It 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. Bosch Inertial Platform
The 1299 Panigale R Final Edition uses
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, DTC Evo and DWC Evo, ensuring that these
systems operate at maximum effectiveness regardless of the
motorcycle's position.
