Superbike Suspension

848EVO, 1198 and 1198 SP chassis and suspension are the result of the performance-first "approach to development priorities where the goal is always to reduce weight and increase strength for the management of high-powered Testastretta Evoluzione.

grille frame

Developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse, lightweight Trellis frame features main section of 34mm

tubes with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. The result is an incredibly rigid structure remains one of the lightest solutions Ducati ever built. Adding style to the performance, three versions of colors for the frames used 848EVO finished the race in red and black, while 1198 is in the black races and both systems in 1198 SP is painted red.

Front suspension

Both 848EVO and 1198 have fully adjustable 43mm Showa forks with an extra special treatment with low friction titanium oxide applied to the sliders in 1198, while spectacular 43mm Öhlins with low friction Titanium Nitride sliders-treated and used on the SP 1198 . Both front suspension solutions are radial mounted brake caliper provides superior grip and incredible feedback to give each rider more confidence and control.

Rear Suspension

Lightweight trellis frame and swingarm unilateral, the rear weight-saving and compact

link suspension system that features separate loading points, lower for the push rod and suspension

units. This 'tandem' design effectively reduces stress around the connection with the pick-up area of ​​the Trellis frame.

In conjunction with this link is a very effective shock fully adjustable Showa single 848EVO and 1198, and a unit with incredible Öhlins 1198 MS technology TTX bi-tube, which gives quite separate damping adjustment in compression and relaxation. The system uses the experience gained in MotoGP to minimize friction and reduce the risk of cavitation under extreme conditions. The 1198 and 1198 SP rear suspension system has an adjustable rear ride height independent of spring preload and suspension settings other - useful for finding the perfect introduction to driving style or track conditions .

Single side swing arm

Two techniques are used one-sided swingarm main functional

individual components using aluminum castings to ensure strength around the pivot points, wheel hub and suspension links, while the lightweight aluminum produced is used to complete construction of one of the components of a good design. The 848EVO, 1198 and 1198 SP have completed all the rocker arms on one side in black.

Race-bred brakes

Ducati Superbike has always been known for their incredible braking power derivatives and track 2011-model lineup is no exception.

The 1198, 1198 and now the whole SP 848EVO use of Brembo Monobloc caliper technology career incredibly powerful. A machine with a single piece of alloy callipers for greater rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking. The increase in hydraulic efficiency not only provides incredible stopping power, but also provides a better and precise "feel" 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

Lightweight wheels used on all Ducati Superbike models significantly reduces the time

the inertia that allows a quick change of direction and better acceleration and braking. The

848EVO is equipped with wheels in Y-shaped 5-spoke Enkei are either black, while the 1198 laps on the 10-spoke wheel finished in a subtle graphite gray, also by Enkei. The SP 1198 is the next level of specification of the deployment of beautiful black 7 spoke lightweight forged aluminum wheels, machine-finished Marchesini.

The SP 848EVO 1198 and 1198 models are all equipped with Pirelli Diablo Corsa Super SP 120/70 ZR17 front, 180/55 ZR17 rear and 190/55 ZR17 848EVO of the back of the two models 1198. These high performance tires, the shoulder areas to maximize the contact surface and agencies are designed for stiffness under heavy braking and precision cornering at high speed. This precision in tire design allowed engineers to create programs for Ducati fine for Ducati traction control systems used in 1198 and 1198 SP.

Magnesium subframe

The production of magnesium front sub-frame emphasizes attention to detail weight reduction Ducati

Superbike range. Its construction provides secure support for projectors, instruments and fairing, and weight gain around the high forward position contributes considerably to the overall "feel" and control of the machine.

Aerodynamic bodywork

Meticulously designed for aerodynamic efficiency and tighten the sleek chassis, WSBK

the body, allows the rider to blend effortlessly into the correct riding position.

His race has developed the bodywork for optimal integration of efficient cooling system, by providing advanced, high surface area of ​​the radiator coolant, which assists the lightweight, high flow fan and cooler assemblies 'oil. Aerodynamic air ducts located under the headlamps precisely calculated to provide plenty of air supply compressed air to the airbox.

The light body contributes significantly to the overall performance by reducing the weight, power to protect the Testastretta Evoluzione engine and help effortless ride "border" of wind energy and reduce drag for maximum speed linear track.

Instrumentation

The digital instrumentation race from the 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

Twin horizontal headlights, a signature style of the iconic Ducati 916 were upgraded with the latest lighting technology. Two units of the poly-ellipsoidal light the way with a powerful beam while maintaining an aggressive look at the front of the machine in the Ducati Superbike tradition.

The rear light uses an LED strip designed to improve the already high level of the lens now the sleek lines and equipment. The same LEDs are intensified and the brake lights.

The directional indicators also use the latest LED technology for lighting. Front indicators are beautifully integrated into the mirrors, which comes with an optional spacer kit that allows a

30 mm extension of the standard stem length mirror.

Ducati Quick Shift

Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the first time, racing-style rapid electronic exchange

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 union of the shift lever, which when acting in the direction to select a computer, it sends a signal to the main switchboard. The ECU includes computer instantly when the bike is by calculating the rpm and vehicle speed, then reads the amount of throttle opening before injection of a pre-programmed reduced fuel and power is measured in milliseconds. This breaking of electronic sessions spilled on the unit is programmed with precision so that the team is selected without the clutch or turn off 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 manufacturer to introduce a system of true competition in traction control on a

Motorcycle production in 2011 and very successful system is now integrated into the electronic SP both 1198 and 1198 as standard equipment. Ducati Traction Control (DTC) system also emphasizes technology flows Ducati racing and production shows how the solutions developed for the track can be used to improve road safety performance.

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.

Accessible from the unit displayed on the implementation of the digital left, the system offers a choice of eight profiles, each program with a tolerance of wheel spin at a progressive adaptation of the riding skill levels rated from one to eight. While the level eight runs a confidence-building, the high level of interaction of the system by activating the least amount of wheel spin, provides a much higher tolerance level and therefore much less highly skilled pilots intervention .

When the level is selected and active DTC, the level shown in the instrumentation.

When the profile that best suit the driving conditions or on the track and style

selected and the DTC is activated and the rear wheel sensors compare speed differential to sense when rear traction is broken (wheel-spin). DTC, and then decide the best combination of two different types of instant electronic adjustment, calculated with data from several sources.

The first phase of "soft" system to run the software for high-speed interface that makes instant electronic ignition timing adjustment, the administration of varying amounts of the slowdown in the ignition to reduce engine torque. This initial interaction with the DTC, up to three red lights - is normally used to indicate more than a speed limiter - lights up to indicate the number of convention application.

If the software detects that the first DTC 'soft' phase of the interaction of the system is insufficient to control

wheel-spin, he continues to administer a delayed ignition, and also teaches the engine ECU

model to grow until the injection of the cuts, if necessary, cut the full injection. Today

second stage of interaction, the four warning lights all light to indicate that the Commission has launched

cuttings injection. Once the system recognizes the gradual return of the equal wheel speed, it gradually restore the normal supply. This ongoing interaction is the key to super-efficient system.

The real innovation behind the DTC system is how the range of different sensitivity levels to decide exactly how to react to too much wheel spin to understand "exactly the bike dynamic situation. In speeding up slow to mid-turn with a large inclination of the vehicle at high speed while turning out nearly erect, is "the intelligence system" that obtained by treating a large amount of data in milliseconds. The technology exists with thousands of laps and time spent testing, programming and serve the Ducati Corse race victories on the track. It represents only part of Ducati's most recent technology road bike and provides a significant increase in performance, safety during acceleration at mid-turn.

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 racing bikes, DDA records numerous channels of data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine speed, engine temperature, distance traveled, laps and lap times. The system also automatically calculates engine rpm and speed of the vehicle to display gear selection as an additional channel of information. An additional channel of information is now dedicated to recording the rate of DTP can be considered a log table and the amount of interaction DTC skating.

At the end of the session or race track, 4 MB of updated data can be downloaded to your computer ready

compare, analyze and get an inside view of the implementation of the rider and bike.

Data can be analyzed graphically with zoom options in detail on some sections. Drag a trace along a timeline to reveal individual values ​​of the channels above allows the user to analyze the results in the same way that technicians are able to data within the factory teams. The software, data can be compared to a full session and pages of print data to be easy.
