1299 Panigale And New Multistrada 1200 Amongst A Host Of New Models Making Their UK Debut At Motorcycle Live

Motoring

On the back of a record breaking 2014, Ducati unveiled their incredible 2015 model range for the first time to the UK public at Motorcycle Live. New for 2015 is the stunning 1299 Panigale, the race ready Panigale R, the new generation Multistrada 1200, the limited edition Diavel Titanium and the exclusive Monster 1200 S and 821 stripe.

The launch of a new Ducati Superbike always causes a stir and none more so than the 1299 Panigale with its 1285 cm3 Superquadro engine, raising the standard once again in terms of performance thanks to its incredible torque with a value of 144.6 Nm at 8,750 rpm, a dry weight of 166.5 kg (367 lb) and maximum power of 205 hp at 10,500 rpm. With an extremely high power to weight ratio, the 1299 Panigale has become a new benchmark standard for very high performance bikes.

Despite more torque and being more powerful and responsive than the 1199, the bike it replaces, it is easier and safer to ride thanks to the use of innovative solutions devised by Ducati Corse. This is no small part due to the new electronic kit, designed specifically for the 1299 Panigale and integrated into the three Riding Modes that combine with the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to allow cornering ABS to be made available, along with Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC).
