2017 Ducati Panigale R

The new model not only will deliver record performance, breathtaking design and technical innovation, it also breaks with our Superbike tradition by adding a name to its 1199cc engine capacity, making a significant and warm association to its historic roots in the Borgo Panigale (pronounced "Pan-ee-gah-lee") area of Bologna. In an Italian territory known as "Motor Valley" and where high performance and racing runs through the veins of its passionate people, we decided to underline our pride in being world ambassadors for the "Made in Italy" title by immortalizing our home town in the name of the best sportsbike ever built.The wait to discover all the details will continue for just a few more weeks. Be ready!

For the 2017 Ducati Superbike family, the new 1299 Panigale and 1299 Panigale S models will sport the latest versions of Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) known as EVO versions. These systems , introduced for the first time on the exclusive 1299 Panigale S Anniversario, bring performance and active safety to unprecedented levels on the Bologna-built Superbike. The new DTC and DWC EVO act according to a brand new algorithm which enables each to intervene faster and with greater precision.

The 2017 Ducati Superbike family includes the 959 Panigale which teams up with the 1299 Panigale, the 1299 Panigale S and the Panigale R – all featuring the Superquadro engine as a stressed member of the chassis and a compact, die-cast aluminium monocoque.

The Ducati 959 Panigale shares the same innovative stylistic features that characterise its ‘bigger brother’, the 1299 Panigale – but with an engine designed for a more enjoyable everyday riding experience and more thrills on the race track. The 955 cm3 twin-cylinder engine, the first Superquadro to have obtained Euro 4 type-approval, comes with a new stroke length and other innovations that have given rise to an even more impressive torque curve.

The 955 cm³ twin-cylinder Superquadro has a 100 x 60.8 mm bore x stroke, with a maximum power of 157 hp at 10,500 rpm while the maximum torque is 107.4 Nm at 9,000 rpm.

The 1299 Panigale and 1299 Panigale S share the same 1299 cm³ twin-cylinder Superquadro engine with 116 mm bore x 60.8 mm stroke – resulting in a maximum power of 205 hp at 10,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 144.6 Nm at 8,750 rpm.

The Panigale R, from which Ducati’s World Superbike race bike is directly derived, is equipped with the top-performing version of the 1199 cm³ Superquadro with 112 x 60.8 mm bore x stroke. Its maximum power is 205 hp at 11,500 rpm while its maximum torque reaches 136.2 Nm at 10,250 rpm.
