THE
MOST
POWERFUL,
LIGHTEST
L-TWIN
SUPERBIKE
IN
HISTORY
The
new
1098
S
is
the
highest
performance
Ducati
street
bike
ever
made.
Reducing
weight
even
further
and
the
addition
of
world-class
components
make
the
'S'
ready
to
deliver
the
dream
of
owning
the
ultimate
Superbike.
The
fully
adjustable
43
millimeter
Öhlins
FG511
forks,
which
sport
low
friction
Titanium
Nitride
fork
sliders,
respond
effortlessly
to
every
imperfection
in
the
tarmac.
Beyond
their
advanced
engineering
solutions,
one
of
the
most
important
characteristics
of
Öhlins
forks
is
their
ability
to
communicate
the
condition
and
quality
of
the
tire-to-road
contact
patch,
putting
the
rider
in
total
control.
The
suspension
system
is
completed
and
perfectly
balanced
with
a
fully
adjustable
Öhlins
46PRC
rear
shock
with
a
ride
enhancing
top-out
spring,
controlling
the
single-sided
swingarm
for
outstanding
drive,
traction
and
steering
precision.
The
Öhlins
package
is
completed
with
a
control-enhancing
adjustable
steering
damper. The
'S'
also
sets
a
new
standard
for
lightweight
performance.
On
any
sport
or
race
bike,
the
most
effective
area
to
reduce
weight
is
its
'unsprung
weight'.
This
is
achieved
through
reducing
the
weight
of
components
such
as
tires,
brakes
and
wheels.
Lighter
wheels
have
a
lower
'moment
of
inertia'
that
is
beneficial
with
every
direction
change
and
application
of
the
brakes.
The
1098
addresses
this
important
area
by
mounting
Marchesini
forged
and
machined
wheels,
reducing
weight
by
4
pounds
(1.9
kilograms).
The
weight
saving
is
further
enhanced
with
the
application
of
a
carbon
fiber
front
fender
and
seat
fairing
cooling
ducts. |
