Ducati 899 Panigale
The new 899 Panigale – Supermid Perfection
The best of both worlds
The innovative “monocoque” frame solution and the new 899
“Superquadro” L-twin engine uses race-derived electronics to continue the “bred
for the track and trained for the road” mentality. This initiative further
demonstrates how innovative Ducati World Championship level technology has a
direct contribution to ride improvement and safety enhancement.
The majority of the frontal air ducts feed the main airbox,
while a small splitter diverts air also into the fairing bodywork to ensure
efficient cooling for the onboard electronics. The carefully executed shape at
the rear of the fairing enables a highly efficient exit from the radiator area,
protecting the Superquadro’s power output and further reducing aerodynamic
resistance. The sleek shape of the seat and tail-piece is accentuated by the
under-engine location of the exhaust system, further enhancing the aggressive
stance of a true Ducati Superbike. *Country specific Engine architecture
Supermid precision In calculating the optimum configuration for a “Supermid” 899 version of the
Superquadro, Ducati engineers selected a bore and stroke of 100mm x 57.2mm
(3.93in x 2.25in). The combination of power and ridability resulted in an
impressive output of 148hp (109kW) @ 10,750rpm and 73 lb-ft (10.1kgm) @
9,000rpm. Transmission
Chassis The 899 Panigale’s chassis continues Ducati’s innovative and courageous step
forward in motorcycle design, merging multiple parts into one compact and
lightweight component, while re-evaluating rider posture with a revised
ergonomic triangle. The extremely compact monocoque construction integrates the
airbox to become one of the key elements in reducing the overall dry weight to
an impressive of 169kg (372.5lb).
Included as an integral part of the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), the 899 Panigale
is equipped with the Bosch ABS 9MP controlled Brembo braking system, an
impressive combination of state-of-the-art security and proven performance.
Shorter stopping distances with enhanced stability is further enhanced with full
Riding Mode integration taking the 899’s braking to the next level of rider
feeling. Wheels and tyres
Electronics The superb electronics package features Ducati Riding Modes, with fully integrated ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Quick Shift (DQS), Engine Brake Control (EBC), and full Ride-by-Wire (RbW) throttle control. Ducati Riding Modes Race Riding Mode Sport Riding Mode Wet Riding Mode
Instrumentation Engine coolant temperature is displayed at the lower centre section of the
screen with rectangular windows of additional data positioned either side,
scroll-controlled using two buttons positioned above and below the indicator
cancel button on the left-hand switchgear. The upper button scrolls the left
window to present total mileage, trip A, trip B, trip reserve fuel, trip time,
time and lap time, while the lower button scrolls the right window for air
temperature, fuel consumption, average fuel consumption and average speed. Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Engine Brake Control (EBC) DDA-readyThe 899 Panigale is system-ready to accept Ducati Data Analyser+ (DDA+) which is available as an accessory from Ducati Performance. It consists of a software download and a USB-ready data retrieval card and evaluates the performances of the motorcycle and its rider by graphically presenting specific channels of information. DDA+ is the latest generation of the system and incorporates a GPS function that automatically records lap-times every time the 899 Panigale crosses a circuit start/finish line. As the rider crosses line and presses the lights flasher button, the innovative system logs the coordinates of that position and automatically records each lap time as the motorcycle completes subsequent laps. An essential piece of equipment for the circuit, DDA records numerous channels of data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm, gear selected, engine temperature, distance travelled, laps and lap times. An additional channel of information is dedicated to recording the traction control index which can then be viewed as a graphic trace indicating the amount of DTC interaction during wheel-spin. At the end of a ride or track session, data can be downloaded ready to compare and analyse the performance of the rider and motorcycle.
