Race-bred brakes
Ducati Superbike has always been known for their incredible braking power derivatives and track 2011-model lineup is no exception.
1198, 1198 SP, and now everyone uses incredibly powerful performer 848EVO Brembo Monobloc Racing Technology. Machined from a single aluminum wheels, pliers for increased rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking more. Increased hydraulic efficiency not only provides incredible stopping power, but also offers a better and precise 'feel' to the brake lever.
The dual monoblock calipers each have four 34 mm pistons, which capture 320 mm discs on 848EVO and huge slices of 330 mm in 1198 and 1198 SP to achieve spectacular braking power.
Super lightweight wheels
The light from the front wheels used on all Ducati Superbikes greatly reduces the time
inertia, which allows a quick change of direction and acceleration and braking performance. The
848EVO is equipped with 5-spoke wheels as Enkei And they are finished in black, while the 1198 runs on 10-spoke wheels finished in graphite gray subtle, also by Enkei. The SP 1198 is the following specification in a beautiful black rolling 7-spoke alloy wheels forged aluminum Marchesini smoothing.

Instrumentation
This breed pure digital instrumentation Ducati MotoGP project has no switches or
'Buttons to compromise its clean, minimalist lines. Instead, access to information for the default values in the left-out of the handlebar-mounted switch that allows the rider to scroll through and select menus. Display with a bright white LED backlight presents rpm and speed, the first is shown in full screen progressive bar graph. Alternatively, the speed and the speed can be displayed in numeric values. Furthermore, it appears that the lap times, the level of DTC is selected (enabled if the SP 1198 and 1198) the time, air temperature, coolant temperature, battery voltage, two for the tour, which starts automatically when the power system should be in reserve. Lights to indicate a neutral, emergency lights, high beam, speed limits, oil pressure, fuel reserve, intervention, DTC (if enabled on the SP 1198 and 1198) and maintenance.
Superbike lights and indicators
Horizontal double signature Ducati style headlights icon 916, is a reformed art lighting technology. Polyellipsoidal two points in a ray of bright light, while maintaining an aggressive look at the machine clean of the Ducati Superbike tradition.
The rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tip. The lights have even increased for the brake lights.
The turn indicators also use the latest LED technology for lighting. The front indicators are well integrated into the mirrors, which come with an optional spacer kit that allows
30 mm extension of the standard stem length mirror.
Ducati Quick Shift
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the first time a racing-style electronically Quick-Shift was
Ducati supplied as original equipment manufacturing. Usually used specifically for racing system allows the driver to keep the throttle open when you change through the change, saving precious seconds, the fastest lap time function. The system saves time and change of speed, but also allows the possibility of an uninterrupted flow of air through the throttle bodies all up in the process of change.
The system consists of a micro-switch built into the clutch of the gear lever, which when activated in the direction of a gear selection, sends a signal to the main ECU. ECU immediately clear where the gear the bike is to calculate the speed rpm and vehicles, then read the amount of gas is turned on before applying a preset reduction in fuel injection and ignition are measured in milliseconds. This second interruption electronic waste in the drive is programmed specifically to give the gear to be selected without having to activate or close coupling of the gas.
DQS system can be disabled by typing the control panel, instrumentation, and the bike is activated by default the next time the power is on. Since the system only works in milliseconds, and Case, 1198 and 1198 SP can still be driven with the normal style gear.
Ducati Traction Control
Ducati was the first company to introduce true competition-level traction control system
Motorcycle production in 2011 and a very successful system is now integrated in 1198 and 1198 SP electronics as standard equipment. The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) system also emphasizes technology flows Ducati racing and production shows how the solutions developed for the track can be applied to improve road safety.
DTC uses the same software logic developed and used by Ducati Corse for their MotoGP bikes and Superbikes World Championshipwinning offers a selection of eight parameters developed by their professional test drivers and riders.
Available from equipment left and displayed on a digital instrumentation system offers a choice of eight sections, each of which is programmed with a wheel-spin tolerance corresponding progressive levels of competence riding classified from one to eight. While the level of eight manages a trust, the high level of interaction of the system by activating the less rotation of the wheel, it gives a higher level of tolerance, and therefore less interference of highly skilled riders.
When the level is selected, and the DTC operation, shows the level of instrumentation.
When the profile that best suit the driving conditions or on the track and style
selected and the DTC system is activated, the front wheels and rear sensors make comparisons of the speed differential to detect when the rear-wheel drive is broken (wheel slip). DTC will then decide the best combination of two different electronic instant adjustment, calculated on information received from various sources.
The first "soft" stage of the interaction of the system is managed by software that allows greater speed, instant electronic ignition, the administration of varying amounts of delay in the ignition to reduce engine torque. During this initial phase of interaction DTC, three red lights - usually used to mean excessive speed limiter - lights to indicate the number of DTP applied.
If the software detects that the stage "soft" first DTC system interaction is insufficient to control
wheel-spin, he continues to administer a delayed ignition, and also teaches the engine ECU
the release of a constant growth model reduction until injection, if necessary, injection cut completely. During this
the second stage of interaction, all four lights are fully illuminated to indicate that the DTC has also started
injection of surgery. Will instantly recognize the gradual return of the same wheel speed, gradually settles back power. This seamless interaction is the key to a smooth functioning of the system.
The real innovative thinking behind the DTC system is like the range of different levels of sensitivity to decide exactly how to react to accurate understanding of the excessive wheel-spin on the bike "dynamic situation." Since the mid-acceleration of the slow curve with a considerable inclination of the vehicle at high speed while turning out, almost standing, "the intelligence system", this is achieved by treating a mass of data in milliseconds. The technology exists, with thousands of laps and time of testing, programming and win victories in Ducati Corse racing on the track. That represents only a portion of the road bike Ducati latest technology and provides considerable increase in safety performance during the acceleration part time.
Data collection
The Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) - complete with PC software, USB data recovery and loans
Instructions - assesses the performance of the bicycle and its rider, and make comparisons between
different information channels. The DDA is available for 848EVO Ducati, the team and comes standard with the 1198 and 1198 SP.
Normally available only on race bikes, DDA records numerous channels of data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine speed, engine temperature, distance, laps and lap times. The system also automatically calculates engine rpm and vehicle speed to display gear selection as an additional channel of information. Another source of information is now dedicated to the recording index of DTC, which can then be regarded as a graphic trace, which indicates the amount of interaction DTC during wheelspin.
At the end of a session of riding or track, an upgrade to 4 MB of data is transferred to a PC is ready for
compare, analyze and get an inside view of the implementation of the rider and bike.
The data can be analyzed graphically with zoom options in items specifics. Drag a track along a timeline to reveal individual values of the channels mentioned above allows the user to analyze performance in the same way as data technicians in factory teams. The software allows data to be compared to that of a plenary session and the data pages to print out.

Instead, access to information for the default values in the left-out of the handlebar-mounted switch that allows the rider to scroll through and select menus. Display with a bright white LED backlight presents rpm and speed, the first is shown in full screen progressive bar graph. Alternatively, the speed and the speed can be displayed in numeric values. Furthermore, it appears that the lap times, the level of DTC is selected (enabled if the SP 1198 and 1198) the time, air temperature, coolant temperature, battery voltage, two for the tour, which starts automatically when the power system should be in reserve. Lights to indicate a neutral, emergency lights, high beam, speed limits, oil pressure, fuel reserve, intervention, DTC (if enabled on the SP 1198 and 1198) and maintenance.
Superbike lights and indicators
Horizontal double signature Ducati style headlights icon 916, is a reformed art lighting technology. Polyellipsoidal two points in a ray of bright light, while maintaining an aggressive look at the machine clean of the Ducati Superbike tradition.
The rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tip. The lights have even increased for the brake lights.
The turn indicators also use the latest LED technology for lighting. The front indicators are well integrated into the mirrors, which come with an optional spacer kit that allows
30 mm extension of the standard stem length mirror.
Ducati Quick Shift
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the first time a racing-style electronically Quick-Shift was
Ducati supplied as original equipment manufacturing. Usually used specifically for racing system allows the driver to keep the throttle open when you change through the change, saving precious seconds, the fastest lap time function. The system saves time and change of speed, but also allows the possibility of an uninterrupted flow of air through the throttle bodies all up in the process of change.
The system consists of a micro-switch built into the clutch of the gear lever, which when activated in the direction of a gear selection, sends a signal to the main ECU. ECU immediately clear where the gear the bike is to calculate the speed rpm and vehicles, then read the amount of gas is turned on before applying a preset reduction in fuel injection and ignition are measured in milliseconds. This second interruption electronic waste in the drive is programmed specifically to give the gear to be selected without having to activate or close coupling of the gas.
DQS system can be disabled by typing the control panel, instrumentation, and the bike is activated by default the next time the power is on. Since the system only works in milliseconds, and Case, 1198 and 1198 SP can still be driven with the normal style gear.
Ducati Traction Control
Ducati was the first company to introduce true competition-level traction control system
Motorcycle production in 2011 and a very successful system is now integrated in 1198 and 1198 SP electronics as standard equipment. The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) system also emphasizes technology flows Ducati racing and production shows how the solutions developed for the track can be applied to improve road safety.
DTC uses the same software logic developed and used by Ducati Corse for their MotoGP bikes and Superbikes World Championshipwinning offers a selection of eight parameters developed by their professional test drivers and riders.
Available from equipment left and displayed on a digital instrumentation system offers a choice of eight sections, each of which is programmed with a wheel-spin tolerance corresponding progressive levels of competence riding classified from one to eight. While the level of eight manages a trust, the high level of interaction of the system by activating the less rotation of the wheel, it gives a higher level of tolerance, and therefore less interference of highly skilled riders.
When the level is selected, and the DTC operation, shows the level of instrumentation.
When the profile that best suit the driving conditions or on the track and style
selected and the DTC system is activated, the front wheels and rear sensors make comparisons of the speed differential to detect when the rear-wheel drive is broken (wheel slip). DTC will then decide the best combination of two different electronic instant adjustment, calculated on information received from various sources.
The first "soft" stage of the interaction of the system is managed by software that allows greater speed, instant electronic ignition, the administration of varying amounts of delay in the ignition to reduce engine torque. During this initial phase of interaction DTC, three red lights - usually used to mean excessive speed limiter - lights to indicate the number of DTP applied.
If the software detects that the stage "soft" first DTC system interaction is insufficient to control
wheel-spin, he continues to administer a delayed ignition, and also teaches the engine ECU
the release of a constant growth model reduction until injection, if necessary, injection cut completely. During this
the second stage of interaction, all four lights are fully illuminated to indicate that the DTC has also started
injection of surgery. Will instantly recognize the gradual return of the same wheel speed, gradually settles back power. This seamless interaction is the key to a smooth functioning of the system.
The real innovative thinking behind the DTC system is like the range of different levels of sensitivity to decide exactly how to react to accurate understanding of the excessive wheel-spin on the bike "dynamic situation." Since the mid-acceleration of the slow curve with a considerable inclination of the vehicle at high speed while turning out, almost standing, "the intelligence system", this is achieved by treating a mass of data in milliseconds. The technology exists, with thousands of laps and time of testing, programming and win victories in Ducati Corse racing on the track. That represents only a portion of the road bike Ducati latest technology and provides considerable increase in safety performance during the acceleration part time.
Data collection
The Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) - complete with PC software, USB data recovery and loans
Instructions - assesses the performance of the bicycle and its rider, and make comparisons between
different information channels. The DDA is available for 848EVO Ducati, the team and comes standard with the 1198 and 1198 SP.
Normally available only on race bikes, DDA records numerous channels of data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine speed, engine temperature, distance, laps and lap times. The system also automatically calculates engine rpm and vehicle speed to display gear selection as an additional channel of information. Another source of information is now dedicated to the recording index of DTC, which can then be regarded as a graphic trace, which indicates the amount of interaction DTC during wheelspin.
At the end of a session of riding or track, an upgrade to 4 MB of data is transferred to a PC is ready for
compare, analyze and get an inside view of the implementation of the rider and bike.
The data can be analyzed graphically with zoom options in items specifics. Drag a track along a timeline to reveal individual values of the channels mentioned above allows the user to analyze performance in the same way as data technicians in factory teams. The software allows data to be compared to that of a plenary session and the data pages to print out.
